Happy 2009!

Happy 2009! I hope this year turns out to be better than last year.....no, I KNOW it will! I am confiidant it will! And I wish only the best for my family and friends for 2009. I know some of you had a really rough and uncertain year, but for some it turned out for the best and it will only get better. I still hate my job, but that will change eventually. I know there is something more for me out there, I just have to be patient and accept what is....for now, anyway. There is just so much darkness in that place. It doesn't feel like a good or happy place to be. I've never seen so many elderly folks so doped up on so much narcotics. It really bothers me. It bothers me that a doctor would prescribe so much, and that a nurse would actually give them as ordered! Anyone who has worked with the elderly know narcotics only confuse them more....how can you do any kind of reality orientation with someone whose brain is fogged with pain pills? I just don't know. I just don't.
