Remembrance Day.

3 weeks left in beloved Vanderhoof.. I am telling you I am going through serious denial. When someone mentions the word Quebec, I walk out of the room. I don't want to hear about it. I feel like I'm getting annoying with this whole sad about leaving Vander thing but I don't really care :) because I love it here and I don't want to leave.

Today is Remembrance Day and no one went to work except for me LOL.. You're probably thinking that I asked to work but I didn't. Marnie asked me too, and I of course said YES! Its the Manor. Sasha, another girl who works in Rec worked today and I love her. She is so nice and HILARIOUS! So we took some of the residents out to the park near our house where they were doing a ceremony. P(f) is SO dramatic, like more dramatic than me. Sasha went to sit her on the bus and she was freaking out saying "Please don't kill me." Ha ha its so funny. And when we would go over bumps she would scream, "OHMYGOD, I'm scared. I'm just going to close my eyes." and I would reassure her it was just a bump and she wasn't going to die. THEN we got back to the Manor, we were getting them off the bus and P wouldn't cooperate and I was holding her up because Sasha just made her stand up and she was saying, "Stop hitting me! Please." And I said P we are not hitting you we are holding you up because you're going to fall because you won't hold yourself up, so please can you walk with your walker." and she said,"Please, I want to live, I don't want to die." I just started laughing SO hard oh my gosh. I couldn't believe what she was saying. So we finally got her to the lift and it's me, Sasha and P on the lift because she won't hold herself up and won't walk. OMG it was so funny. Then after we got J(f) off the bus I was pushing her inside the Manor and she said, "I don't think you should bring her out anymore." LOL I told her she is exactly right! It was sooo funny but very tiring! Then after lunch I made butter tart squares and painted G's nails and hung out in D-Pod until it was home time :) I love D-Pod, I always go there when I want to escape from everyone. I just sit with the people and talk. W(m) makes me laugh all the time and he always says, "You know, I'm getting close to that old age pension." and I say, "Oh yeah? What are you going to buy with that pension?" and he spells out B-O-T-T-L-E O-F W-H-I-S-K-E-Y. LOL he's hilarious.

Tonight we had a thank-you potluck dinner at the Neighbourhood Space for our billet families. It was cute. Sheila came and brought her turkey casserole thing with fresh biscuits. Everyone loved it. It was Great. Melissa and I are going to visit her this week coming because I am house managing with Marc-Andre again. I'm excited to house manage but I'm kind of not because I'm going to miss my old people LOL. I'm starting to annoy myself. New topic.

This Saturday we are going to Prince George for the day. We are going swimming and to the library and to a Vietnamese restaurant. That should be exciting, we haven't done anything really since coming here.

Lila passed away on Sunday :( she was a resident at the Manor. I loved her. She wasn't doing good for a while. She fell a couple of weeks ago and just went downhill from there. I used to sit with her and she would hold my hand and she would kiss it LOL. OMG she was so cute. Since I started working there, about 6 people have passed away and that's a lot compared to other years. She is in a better place now though so I guess it's kind of bittersweet. R.I.P Lila <3

That's all for now.



Xoxo Sara!
