Baby Shower Prep & other Moments

Yesterday, I finally submitted an Application to IRSC. That's Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, FL. I have stated for over a decade that I wanted to go back to school again but could not decide what to do. I am going for the Registered Nursing program. I may still look into the HealthCare Management which includes Nursing Admin with another school, just an extra option. I am already off to an interesting start. I tried to do my Application on the computer in the school but I got an error so I have to try again on the website from home. I have an e-mail with instructions from Tech Support, I'll sort it out there to start.
Meanwhile, we have spent some time today getting ready for the Baby Shower tomorrow which starts @ 2pm, right here at the house. I was not able to walk Belle Beans today but I can still try tomorrow. The trees outside got their watering, of course.
I am worried about the stipulation of my employer Liberty Medical. They have a strict policy that any applicant must have a full 7 years of Employment verified & that there has to be somebody, anybody they can talk to so that a particular company based in Ohio can do that. I really didn't make any real friends at that job. Part of the reason was due to a revolving door, as Telemarketing often is & also because I was interested in spending time looking for other work during my employment there. I have been notified more than once that they cannot locate anybody from that company & have even spoken to a Secretary in Iowa in the State Government. Nothing. I'm going to call the Better Business Bureau in Des Moines sometime to see if they were Registered with them.
I recall 1 lady I used to work with, her first name only. I am unable to get ahold of her so far. I am worried & I think if I cannot get her in touch with this company for Liberty Medical, I may not be able to keep this job. That would be really bad.
I have decided I am not going to Disney World in Orlando over the Memorial Day weekend with my Cousins because I need the money to go towards purchasing a car when I can. Maybe next time.
I am told Aunt Bonne will be here for the Baby Shower & she'll bring Brittany as well. I hope it's true, I can't wait to see them again.
As part of my Ecological Contributions, I am still working on reducing overall water usage but for now, I may have hit a plateau as I really only use the water for hydration & bathing as needed, dishes, laundry & watering the trees and plants to ensure they don't wilt & die. I realise it's not the prettiest thing but, let's face it, we do need to reduce flushing of our commodes as well. It saves water overall & I have already begun that.
As far as the plants go, we have a Fern plant outside that was not doing well. My cousin wants to have it pulled up but I bought some time to bring it back to health. It still doesn't look great but it's beginning to respond to the frequent waterings by displaying a new chute. I don't water the trees & plants everyday as it's a bit excessive. I always miss a day here & there. When I go back to work, the watering will be less frequent.
Yesterday, I was at Kmart in Fort Pierce after I had gotten done at the school & looked through the food section. I decided to look in the chips where I normally don't go & I found Creamy Dill Pickle flavoured chips. They were not Old Dutch brand but I was so happy to see them. I also found Ketchup flavour which I have not had since I used to visit in Canada over a decade ago.
Again, they are not Old Dutch but still good. I was amused.
Until next time!
