Smoke and Cats

So I absolutely love the job that I have. But I must say there is a downfall. Pretty much a majority of my patients have at least two cats in there house. I must add that I absolutely hate cats unless they stay a good 100 feet away from me, then I can say I don’t mind them. It’s not like that with these little beasts. I think I am a cat magnet. Every house that I go to that has cats, they all swarm me and won’t get off of me. Then by the time I’m leaving the house I smell like disgusting cats and have their hair all over me. Now that my friends, is just disgusting. So I bought me a lint roller, for my car! Problem solved. There is one other thing besides the cats that I can’t stand. I have a lot of patients that smoke. So along with smelling like cats I now have the wonderfully fresh sent of cigarette smoke weaved in my hair and my clothes. Just grand. Well to solve this I bought me some febreeze to spray myself down and my car. Before this I used to have to unroll all of my car windows and freeze just so I wouldn’t have to smell myself. My car no longer smells like it belongs to an old woman whose cats live in it. It smells quite nice. OH the wonders of febreeze! Oh and don’t worry I don’t make others suffer through this horrible pain. I come home and shower everyday! What is it with old people and cats and cigarettes! Come on get more creative.

School done, Job found!

Alright I'm horribe at keeping this thing updated. I forget I have one most of the time. I'm officially done with school! I'll tell you it's one of the best feeling to be done with school at 20! Hooray. I'm an offical physical therapist assistant. That title is long enough to say so I'm happy I don't have to add student infront of it any more when people ask. I've got a job doing home health now, which is great. Except some of the people I see are a little crazy, but I guess you get that pretty much where ever you work. I thought that when I was done with school commuting would be over, driving from Harrisville to West Jordan every day got pretty lame, but now I drive from house to house. I think my car missed spending so much time with me. What was really nice for me is I didn't have to do any job hunting. That alone is a horrible stressor. I got a call one day from one of the therapist I worked for during a clinical rotation, and offered me the job. It was sweet. Well life is still great and I don't know what to do with myself now that I have so much time.
