but I got a job and will be starting this Wednesday. I will be taking care of my Uncle by a short marriage for 6 hours twice a week. He has dementia. God has answered my prayers in the nick of time as my money from the life insurance company is almost gone. I just need to make sure he takes his meds, take him out to eat breafast, and to the grocery store sometimes. I also need to prod him to take a shower. He likes me as we talk every day. _________________

Thank you Jim. I'm getting nervous about being at my Uncles for 6 hours at a time. I don't know how I'll occupy my time.

Thank you Kay, Rusty, and Essie. I am starting to look forward to working for a change. If it was peaches and cream it would not be a job so I'll do fine with that attitude. I will look forward to the money I will be making instead of how to make it through the day. _________________

Terrific! God does answer prayers. I'm sure you're apprehensive but you'll be fine once you begin your new job. Take a good book to read or some wordsearch puzzles, crocheting, etc. to occupy the time when he doesn't need help. Good luck. _________________

Thank you Jo and Nic.
I got up at 4 a.m. excited about my job. I don't have to be there until 9 a.m. _________________

Hi Nic! Yes 4 a.m. is really early but I do on ocassion get up at that time.
My 1st day at work today went fast. I worked 50 minutes over as I had to take my Uncle to the grocery store after eating out and both took much longer than expected. My Uncle sure does talk an awful lot but then again he is lonely so it's natural for him to talk non stop. The day went by really fast for me for a change. _________________
