Christmas Greetings

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas from this Midwest girl and the Smith family
(Katie, Esther, Rose, and John Truitt, circa 1904).

CURRENT MOOD. Ok pretty much regular mood.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to those reading this post! It's Christmas Eve and it's quiet around the apartment complex . I am thrilled to be off today and tomorrow after an initial "I'll work since I have nothing else to do" attitude has changed. It felt like a LONG week.

How Scarlett looks is how I feel about work right now. This is the first assignment where within the first week I'm like nope! no extension k thanks bye. You know how you meet some people who remind you of other people you know and that influences how you feel about them? Well, one of the COTAs reminds me of my dear COTA friend Nanci so I automatically like her. And she has a passion for animals too- like Nanci and myself. There is another person who reminds me of someone I worked with at the Muny way back when so I don't like her just by association (so far).
Anyway, I'm hoping things change for the better and that I can find my groove and just keep my head down. There are a lot of question marks in my head right now but I will not publish those. I work at two SNFs mostly and one is a good comparison to The Gatesworth buildings in U-City.

Moving on- Fresno is nice and I live in a good neighborhood so that makes me feel safer. Some parts are a little more sketch but that is every town. On a clear day you can see the Sierra Nevadas in the distance but I haven't been able to last couple of days. I think when I want to start driving and exploring we will head towards the coast first since driving in the mountains right now towards Yosemite and the Sequoias doesn't sound like a great idea.

This is within walking distance from the apartments.

If you look closely you can see the mountains. 

Walking in the neighborhood. 

Well this is it for our Christmas Eve post and I'm hoping things will turn around at work. I'm missing my family and friends and wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Jingle bells and Batman smells,

Peace, love, and Ambrosia (the band- not the dish),
