Good Evening All. I am someone who really loves journaling. I don't journal enough but when I do I feel like I am accomplishing something and achieving something. I am going to start writing weekly reflection journals on my blog just about what I do in my life. I hope you all enjoy them.
Saturday September 21, 2024: Today I worked from 08:00am to 1600 (4pm). Work was different today as my client is now a palliative care client and I have feeling she will die in less then a week. At least she will die in the comfort of her own home. All I did was sit beside her. While I was sitting beside my client I was able to do some knitting. I was kind of sad to see my client this way but it's part of my job.
Sunday September 22, 2024: Today I worked from 1300 (1pm) t0 1600 (4pm). My client today has dementia. We ended up going for a beautiful walk for about an hour and then went back to her house. Back at her house the TV was on but she wasn't really into watching TV so I tried talking to her and keeping her engaged through talking so that she wouldn't be pacing all the time.
Monday September 23, 2024: Today I finished my Excel Assignment for My Business Technology Class. I got 99 percent. Not what I wanted but I was struggling with one function and couldn't figure out how to fix it.
Tuesday September 24, 2024: Today I did a ton of meal prep in the morning and then I had my Business Technology Class. I feel like I should have left a bit earlier to get to the college. Next time I will. So far I haven't missed one class. My instructor doesn't post power points so I think that is good. It makes students want to show up to his class so that we don't miss any information.
Wednesday September 25, 2024: This morning I had a boxing lesson. I did skipping, push ups, sit ups, squats and a plank. I threw punches and combos. I did bag work and also ABS. I found out my client I had on Saturday passed away on Monday night. I feel sad about that because I really enjoyed seeing that client but I know it's also a part of my job. I will have a new client this Saturday from 3pm to 11pm. I had an option of choosing another client but I felt that the 8 hours would be better. I had a Boxing lesson as well in the afternoon. I did Skipping, Foot work, Shadow Boxing, And threw punches. I also did ABS. I made the mistake of complaining when doing ABS and my coach got livid at me. Ooops. I sounded like a Diva in my opinion. Now I am going to be in a lot of shit during the next Boxing lesson. I need to stop letting fear rule my life. I felt afraid when doing shoulder taps because I haven't done shoulder taps much since the car crash and its still hard to do. But you know what I think I am just using the Car Crash as a lame excuse and not pushing myself enough. Of course I am still going to have unwanted results if I keep on holding onto the car crash as an excuse. It happened back in 2023 and I need to stop letting it rule my life. I also need to stop complaining and acting like a bitch. I complain about every little ache and pain and I have always done this and this is stupid. I need to stop. I just feel pissed off at myself.
Thursday September 26, 2024: Good Morning. Almost Afternoon here. I woke up this morning to feeling my bed shaking. I realized it was an earthquake. This is the second earthquake I have felt. So that was interesting.
what else has happened so far. I had a Boxing lesson today. I did Skipping, Push ups, Foot work, Throwing punches, bag work and ABS. Felt like a great session today. I didn't bring up anything that hurts so I was pleased about that. My foot is bothering me. I need to attack my right foot by sanding it down. Callouses are not fun.
I will write more later. Okay So I made some protein shakes today and I took a selfie. Here are the pics.
Protein Powder. My Favorite and only go to Protein Powder.
Protein Powder. Almost empty. Going to have to buy more.

Protein Shakes. Now I just have to drink them.
I took a selfie and drank the leftover protein shake that wouldn't fit into the bottles.
So After spending time in the kitchen I headed to the college for my Business Technology Class. Great Class. I learned 2 new functions I also finished my assignment which was originally going to be due tonight I thought but is now due on Friday night at 11:59pm. I submitted my assignment and got a hundred percent. So pleased.
My Marks so far for assignments I have submitted

Food I am eating after class
I find I like to eat food after class because I always feel rushed getting to class. It's nice to just chill after class and eat even though I literally feel chilled because it is always so cold in the business building. The Business Building feels like an iceberg.
So I wanted to quickly talk about Education since I can't talk about it with family. They just knock me down and make me feel like I am nothing even though I know that's not their intention. So here goes. Right now I am at College Studying Medical Office Administration.
I have already been to college before and I studied Recreation Therapy. I also studied to become a Health Care Assistant.
I have plans to
Become A Fitness Trainer
Study Holistic Nutrition
Become A Bar Tender
I have my Traffic Control License and I plan to keep it up to date.
My Final plan is to do Academic Upgrading and then Study Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance. I am really interested in crunching numbers. Another idea is to get my degree in Recreation Therapy.
For now I am focused though on Studying Medical Office Administration because I want to work in Health Clinics in an office as a receptionist.
Okay that's all to write for now.
Calculators I am interested in.
I swear I already had this calculator. I don't want to buy it again if I do have it. If I want to become better at Mathematics and study Finance. I need to put in practice on my own on a daily basis. I need to turn mathematics into an interest. Its also good to know all about finance anyways.
Another calculator I might be interested in. But if I can find the above calculator I will be so stoked and happy and pleased with myself.
Finally writing the rest of what happened today on Thursday. So I went to the gym near the college and did a workout. Not a boxing workout because I know I need to do other workouts as well. The class I did was a bootcamp class and it involved lots of weights and cardio and it felt really good. I am still choosing light weights to start with because I don't want to over do it for several reasons.
1. I realized when I used to go to another gym I would do Cardio classes and then Boxing classes and I think that was too much for my body and one of the reasons I had an injury.
2. I was in a car crash back in 2023 and it still makes me cautious but nothing seems to be going wrong yet so that is a good sign. No pain.
3. I am not totally familiar or comfortable with gym equipment and feel like I do things incorrectly
4. This is the first actual boot camp class I have done in ages. I tried one at the gym several months ago before May. It was fun but we didn't use cardio equipment.
So thats what happened on Thursday.
Friday September 27th, 2024: Good morning all. Happy Friday. Make today a fantastic day. Doing laundry right now and taking things to the thrift store. I wrote a post about a clarinet recently. Bad post. I need to do the right thing and sell the clarinet to someone who will use it. I also need to sell the flute. Keeping my ukulele because even though I don't really know how to play it properly I actually pull it out every now and then and try strumming it. I haven't done that with the flute or the clarinet. I am hoping eventually to take some ukulele lessons. I had a counseling session today. Good session. This evening I also went to the gym and did a Boxing class.
Saturday September 28th, 2024: Today I went to the gym and did a boxing class. Unfortunately I got to the boxing class a bit late so that wasn't good but I did the class. Thankfully my Coach still let me take part. I also worked 3pm to 11pm today. My client has dementia and she was aggressive. I have to be firmer with my client to get her to take her medication.
Sunday September 29th, 2024: Today I worked from 1pm to 4pm. With my client today with dementia it was companionship. I sat with her inside and we watched TV. I assisted her as well with the bathroom about 3 times. I also went for a run. Today I changed it up and ended up going for a track run. I found it a bit hard to run today with the wind. Plus my legs were feeling like jelly but hey I did it and that's what counts. Pics to come soon. As promised here are the photos from my run.
I ran around the Esquimalt Track. About 8 laps.

Monday September 30th, 2024:
Today I awoke at 11am. I went to the South Island Powwow with friends Chelsea and James. We stayed for a few hours. Thousands of people were at the Powwow wearing orange shirts. I found it really interesting watching the First Nations People (Aboriginals) doing traditional dances dressed in their traditional attire. I am very glad I went to the South Island Powwow.
