$ Money, Money, Money $

So I have been very blessed. . . I have found not only one job in Price, but two. And no money is not all that matters, other than it will pay my rent and feed me (I just couldn't think of any other title) but anyway, I was offered a job by the Ambassador office here at CEU just for the summer giving tours and working in the office while the other Ambassadors are gone for the summer. Even though I am technically not an Ambassador anymore, they still may use me here and there for some things. . . like now. The hours work really well with my schedule, so for a summer job it's perfect.

I just had an interview today at an Assisted Living Home, to do CNA work. This will be great because I can stay up on nursing as I am in school, becoming one. The interview went really well, and I am pretty sure I got the job, but I'm not sure if I should say that yet. It will be working every other weekend, so it won't interfere with my other little summer job at all. These two jobs are perfect for just starting out here and to last me for the summer, but if possible I will continue to work at the Assisted Living Home for as long as possible. This is definitely a blessing to have these jobs, the hours, the pay, and that I only have to do nursing care on every other Sunday. There are not many places here that you would not have to work on Sundays. I figure though, that the elderly, let alone any injured or ill person cannot take care of themselves on Sunday so it is a justifiable service to preform on a Sunday. I will still be able to go to Sacrament meeting every Sunday. I am really excited to start work, this has definitely been an answer to prayers.

So Far So.... well it's ok

So I'm back in Price now and have started nursing classes. The first day was good, but I all of a sudden started not feeling well. I was hoping it would pass seeing as how it was the first week of classes. It didn't get better. . . I couldn't sleep and the next morning I had a fever, aches and the beginning of a sore throat :( I had a quiz in one of my classes so I took some ibuprofen and toughed my way through my quiz and the two hour class. After that I drove straight home to PG. I didn't have any more classes that week and I haven't started work yet so I figured it would be wise to take the weekend to rest at home so I could hopefully be recovered for class on Monday. Well it didn't get better when I got home, my fever wasn't too bad, but the sore throat got a lot worse and my gums got really swollen and painful. I went to the doctor and it wasn't strep, so there was nothing they could do. . . it was just a virus and would have to heal itself. Well Sunday morning I woke up and had fever blisters (aka cold sores) on my lip. I looked up all my syptoms up online (it's amazing what you can find on the internet) I had gotten the cold sore virus. Sometimes when you initially get it you get fever, sore throat, swollen gums, and of course cold sores. . . I hate to even write this and admit I have them, but I do and I'm stuck with them.

Anyway, I am back in Price and have been in class all day and I feel really good actually. The only thing is my gums are still very painful and swollen. . . It could be a lot worse though, I'm grateful I am back to normal for the most part and that nothing more was wrong with me. I'm not going to let a sore mouth keep me from doing what I need.
