It is apparently soup day. I have made what I am calling Egg Roll Soup, but really it is just a cabbage soup with soy sauce and ginger....lol. This reminded me though of a song recorded by some long lost friends called Cabbage Power, it went with a story of the healing powers of cabbage soup.
The chorus went like this...
Soup of cabbage, cabbage power! Getting stronger by the hour!
Truth be known, the witch in the story was not far off, cabbage has a lot of healing powers and it is low calorie and full of fiber and vitamin C.
Turns out a cabbage a day might just keep the doctor away!

so I am up earlier than normal after a night at work making a Lumberjack Breakfast for my . She turns 15 today. My house is smelling amazing of cinnamon swirl waffles. Along with scrambled eggs and hash browns and a frozen cocoa on the side.
I have fresh coffee brewing.
The house does not usually smell this good, normally we grab a yogurt or fruit and go.
In just three more years , she will be gone, off to living life on her own.

Are You Serious???????? Rant

So last night I get this text, "Hey, How you been?"

I know the person, so my brain goes to....'So you aren't getting any right now'

I spent a good long time not responding at all. I thought of blocking, I thought an F.U. , I thought of explaining why I just don't want to be a part of this persons world.
I know my place in his life and years ago, I accepted that place. I was a different person after two very abusive relationships, I had no self worth, no value.
Two years before my accident, he was in a car/semi collision that took his 's life and left him severely messed up. I took him to PT, shopping, helped with chores, listened to his feelings and grief....like any friend/GF might do.
When he was on his feet and feeling better, he was gone. Chasing some girl he felt was better. Then he got a ton of money for his accidents, and was having the party of a lifetime. On the road doing music, etc.....
He found himself alone around the time I was released to go home from my accident, so I was of no use. He decided to wait until I got "better". He did not offer to help me get to PT, or visit just as a companion, or even once shoot a text to see how I felt, how I was doing. He did message just before I went for all my surgeries, telling me he loved me and could we make it work. I said, "Sure, no sex for a year and we work on us and bonding"......So he left .
So it is the Holiday season and whoever filled that time slot the last few months has dumped him for better fare. Now here is the texting.....the keep in touching...the oh I missed you....
Now this morning, "Are you better now" " Can you go out"
Me (deep breath) (deep breath) (deep breath) .........type......."Yes, I am doing great. Glad to hear life is wonderful for you. Merry Christmas and the Best of New Years! I am very much healed." ....send.....block.....delete all conversations.
I think he wanted to know if I was better enough to strut about like a show pony on the arm of a narcissist. What happened....I had time to know my worth, to know that people who don't really care, don't really belong.
Am I never going to date again? Oh heck, I don't make it a week . I have a weakness for handsome fellas....lol.
Don't worry, it was just a rant. I am just proud I did not cave in to it all, like I once would have.

So one of these was left for each of us anonymously......
Someone from the community gave use these little key chains.
They read

May you be proud of the work you do

The person you are

And the difference you make

Thank You

I tell you it wasn't a million dollars and a pony, but it didn't leave a dry eye among us all.

What I have seen in the people I work with is a real blessing. There are always staffing shortages so they work extra hard and give up a lot. They all bond with our residents, giving them friendship, family , and home....many like nothing they have ever had.

I have the greatest respect for the men and women I work with. I am glad to see someone else feels the same.
