hi!!
tomorrow my friend taryn from florida is coming! yay! I will pick her up in michigan after work tomorrow. I was home a few weeks ago, it was very nice. I actually had time to relax, and finally clean my room! It was also my dad and grandpas birthdays. My grandfather turned 94, and he was having a very good day.
Somehow I arranged my work schedule, and I will have 9 days off at the end of march and beginning april, so im going home for Passover! very excited, its around the corner.
Tomorrow at work we are going to the casino for an outing, I hope I will be lucky again!

valentines day

I have been very sick!! for three days, its been awful. I had the stomach flu, today was my third day off work. very unfortunate because I was finally getting more hours because someone is on vacation.
Oh well! I go to work tomorrow, then im going home until Wednesday morning! Jon has taken very good care of me! And today he came home with the Olympic red mittens! we each got a pair.
For valentines day jon got me 2 dozen hot pink roses, they are very nice! and we went out to eat to a fancy restaurant in detroit.
thats all for now!

sunday

feels like monday, and yesterday felt like sunday. because i worked today. So boring working on sunday because theres only one Life Enrichment worker. I did a lot of talking to myself! Residents were wacky today, there must have been something in the air. Some were thinking their parents were coming to visit (they are in their 90's), and another told me some crazy story about her daughter drugging her and stealing her jewelery. I know its not true, but its amazing how they really think these things have happened.

So life in windsor continues to amaze me. We still have not had snow!!! Well thats a lie, I did have to clean off the car twice this winter, there was 1cm of light snow on it. and thats it!! crazy.
I have still not encountered traffic in a year and a half here. Something that im taking for granted. People I work with think going to the other side of town is a hassle. Im talking about 20 minutes MAX. Do they not know I used to drive 45-60 minutes in bumper to bumper traffic? Or that people in montreal have to schedule their days around traffic time? How many times did I use to tell people to come to dollars for dinner, after 6 to avoid traffic! How many times was I late to Jons or my grandparents because there was traffic at 130pm! The other great thing about windsor is the basic cable. I have two channels that I never had at home. Slice, and Food. These are both channels that ALWAYS have something on. Its amazing. I dont think I could ever be without them now.
goodnight!

Jon and I were in cleveland this past weekend. It was only 2.5 hours from windsor. We did some shopping, went to the cheesecake factory twice, and the rock and roll hall of fame museum. That was the reason for the trip, jon has always wantes to go there. It was really cool. They had a lot of elvis memrobilia, beatles, and so on. What I thought was the coolest, was seeing handwritten lyrics of some famous songs. Its amazing that these old papers still exist. Also they had hotel bills from Elvis. We stayed at the Doubletree hotel, which gives you warm chocolate chip cookies when you check in!

Jon, finally there!
Jon has his week off from school in 2 weeks, so he is going home, Im going 99%, should know tomorrow. I really hope it works out. We never get to be in montreal at the same time! We have a lot to do for the wedding.
Here are some pictures from when we were in florida in December.

This is my dad, after he was hit by a car on his bike. hes ok!!! But look what happened to the bike!

chanukah

happy chanukah!
tonight is the first night, not one person wished me a happy chanukah at work, nor did they notice my dreidel earrings! so different then if I was in Montreal.
Yesterday I had such a bad day at work, we were on an outing, and when we came back, I had to unload the bus, and these cold winds started. It was unbearable, the residents were screaming. My left hand actually went numb, I kept feeling to make sure my ring was still there. the only thing keeping me going , is knowing that 2 weeks from today, jon and I will be in florida!
