New Job

I started my new job on Monday and so far so good. I am working at an adult foster care home. It's not a foster home for adults. The house has 5 residents and I stay over night for 4 days and basically do cooking, cleaning, and caregiving like at an assisted living facility. I love my residents. It's hard work and a lot to remember but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm sure the first couple months will be a lot to get use to but it's nice to have a steady job. I'm thankful for the stability of a good job, good bosses, the ability to have health insurance in the near future, and so much more.

yayayyayyaya for a job!!!!

Lent

So I've decided to give up refined sugar ( and try to stay away from sugar substatutes in general) and anything with sugar within the first 3 ingredients. It's a lot harder then most people think. Oh, I'm doing this for lent. I've never really done lent and to be honest. . . I'm not 100% sure what the purpose of lent is. . . to imagine what Jesus went through to give his life for us? Not really comparable. . . sugar. . . life. . . hmm. . . but I thought I'd do Lent more for myself in the thought of sacrificing something to realize how thankful for all the things I have been blessed with. I have a roof over my head, an amazing family, amazing friends, food in my belly (sugar free food), and have my health. I'm am so blessed and I need to keep reminding myself that. So . . . sugar. . begone for I am a blessed lady :)
