Hi people, I just got done reading and commenting all my favs who updated so now it is my turn to update after 5AM. hmm ya, I am really not sleeping well at all.
Early this week, Nikki and I decided I would go to NY and spend time together. I had work on Thursday, so I would hhave to make it a short stay, going down Friday and coming home Sunday.
There is a lot of STUFF going on in her life that is not for me to say, but its a lot of stress for her.
I leave Boston at 1 and get to NY a bit late, do to Friday rush hour trafic I'm sure. Nikki was there waiting. We had talked about going to the ESPN zone for dinner, but we ended up just going back to her place. We watched a lot of college basketball, had sex 3 times and we ordered food in. I was really hungry, seeing as I just had a bagle at home and cookies on the ride. I got a stake with a salad and coldslaw. I ordered my stake medium well, um, ya, it defanately was not that. It had a layer of grease around it. I had as much as I could stomach, but the salad and coldslaw were very big so I was pretty full. Nikki enjoyed her chicken and her side dishes.
After all the games were over and we were tired, we went to sleep. Or at least, I tried to. I am not sure what time I ended up going to sleep, but I rather not know. It didnt help that Nikki kept taking the blanket from me and she would not let me have any of it. Damn it was cold. Eventually I got my lower half under a bit of covers. I woke about 11, wanted sex, lol, and then like any normal guy, went back to sleep. It wasnt all because of the sex, I was so tired when I woke. I slept till about 3, missing a few college games. We watched more college games and cuddled till we got hungry and ordered out again. I wanted to go out but she didnt want to. I ordered in a burger and onion rings and of course a salad. The food was good. I dont remember when, but at some point she got a call from her boss that she ad to take. She also got a call from a friend who was complaining I guess, Nikki didnt want to hear it. She was having a good week end and so told her friend she would talk to her later.
It was later in the evening, I had not left the room all day and somehow, didnt get any sex. When we finally did have sex that night, it was pretty damn good. I was defanately overly impressed about my stamina. I gave Nikki and myself a good workout. hmm ok, she did a lot of work too. It was a team effit.
Once College basketball was over for the night, we broke out my computer and lissoned to music for most of the rest of the night. She was also looking on the net at vacations she wanted to take. I defanately dont have the kind of money she was looking at and if she were to save up too, it would be to save up for the vacation and than she would be back to not having much in her bank. I know I am a good example of a cheep Jew but I also never want to struggle with money. I see how people struggle month to month and I dont want that. I only work 4 hours a week. When I get a full time job and see how much I make and what my spendisures are, we can go from there. Enough of that money talk.
It was fun lissoning to music with her and cuddling. She would pick a group from my music collection, and I would get to play a song than she would pick a song. Eventually she decided she would pick the first song as well. It was very nice. We got on youtube to listen to a song, but that was the end of the music. lol. She had to find work related things on there. UG, work.
We cuddled after that, and she went to sleep. I got to have my share of the blanket this night, unfortunately, I didnt get much sleep again. Heck, we didnt go to sleep till after 5AM now that I think about it. The alarm was set for 9 so I could catch my 11;30 bus. We showered, dressed, printed out my bus ticket and headed to the bus station. Nikki got me a baggle while I was on the phone with my bitchy sister, letting her know that I'd be coming in about 4. After some asking around for assistance for me to get on the bus, we said our byes and she was going to try to catch an 11;30 train to her moms. The guy took me to the bus, asked me for my ticket, I had said that it was for the 11;30 bus. He said well this is the 11 O'C bus. We went back in and there was a woman there working who said "you dont want to go on the 11 O'c bus?" the guy said to her that I had the 11;30 bus, I said to the guy, is there room on this bus? he said yes, so I got on the 11 o'c bus and got home an hour earlier than what was origenal planned and I had called my dad and it was perfect timing. The ride was not so bad this time either way since I was listening to college basketball and when I couldnt get that in, there was sports radeo.
I got home, had a drink and had a nap. I slept over 2 hours.
My mom had planned an Irish dinner and invited the family. It was pretty good. (minus comments from my older bro and my cousin heidi. No matter how long you know people, they just dont get the fact that my disabilities actually does limit me in some area. sorry) (and I wish I wasnt a picky eater, but I am. they make it seem like it is my fault)
The food was good as always. The veggies were perfect, my chicken fingers were alright, with that dish of bbq sause I had, it made it very good. My mom also made a salad, soup, and other main dishes. There was various types of breads on the table.
After dinner was cleaned up, it was dessert time! oo were the flacky pastery good that i had. There were dif types of cookies. I also had some fruit. The pineapple was very good. I was getting a bit ancy in my head, especially when my cousin said it was 8;30 and they had to start getting home. I had not listened to baseball for a few days and I know the semmy finals for the World Baseball Classic started at i8. It was USA vs JAPAN with the Boston Redsox's own, Matsuzaka pitching for Japan. Everyone left pretty quickly after as my dad had to drive my grand parents home. My older bro had a 40 min drive north and my twin and his wife had an hour drive south. Plus my twin wakes up at 5 for work.
I was a happy camper, sitting on my bed, listening to the radeo, feeling as I was at the game cheering on USA but secretly cheering on Matsuzaka to do well and not to get hurt. He did alright and did not get hurt. Unfortunately, Japan won and are going to play for the World Baseball Classics against South Korea. It would have been really ironic if it was Korea playing USA, as their government is not happy with our Government right now.
However, you put a ball and a bat in people's hands, and a baseball game will break out.
Sorry this is such a long entry, but just two more things.
WORK
Last Thursday I got to work an hour early. I decided to write up a little something on teamwork and what a good leader would be. The clients started coming home from their day programs at 3;30. No one came to talk to me till about 4;30 and that was only a little bit till the guy got a phonecall. On Thursday we are supose to have a house meeting, discussing the chores and dinners for the week. My ride was coming about 6;10. Although another client stopped by the dining room table to chat, that was really all till ...
A coworker said, "hey Jonathan, its 5;45, you have to go soon." no kidding "I will go get the people for the house meeting." "(me) I had something planned for the clients before the meeting." "(she) I know, you can do your group first than we'll have the meetting"
** ** I took a nap, went to a meeting about getting a job, had lunch and now back to writing this entry*
At first, I had 3 clients, I asked them if they can tell me the members of the hour from oldest to youngest. One client was trying to and another counselor was saying the age of some of the members and I reminded him that it was an exersize for them, not him. Just the team work process was difficult for them. I have one read out loud the article I wrote up on team work and leadership. We did an other exersize. By this time I had 5 members and by the end, I would have 6 of them at the table. I asked them to create a ice cream tsunday. I want you to agree on 3 flavors of icecream and at least 3 toppings. One client took charge but as he found, it was very difficult to get responses. My ride had pulled up. I said “this is why we need to start earlier. Is it possible to start every Thursday at 5;15?” everyone agreed. I was pretty happy to have that type of commitment. We’ll see if I can actually get it. When I got home, I wrote an email to my boss –director of the house to let her know what is going on. I am excited about her response.
Hi Jonathan, that is awesome!!! I am so glad that they are participating and learning.. Im sorry that I have not seen you as I have been out for a bit. However, it looks like you are doing very well here. You have my support in whatever activity you want to do with them. Let me know if theres anything i can help you with.
Thanks again,
And lastly, 2 weeks from today is RedSox Opening day.
Who has their bag of peanuts, box of crackerjacks and their balls and bats?
"put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today"
