Oh my Gosh!I can't tell you how lovely it feels to have A few days offI've worked the last four days And for most of those days I've had the mother of all hangovers But I guess that's the price one pays for a good night out I still can't remember a lot about the night But I am assured that we had a great night With great craicAnd good companyI know that I didn't do anything to disgrace myself Or embarrasse myself I  know I told the chef a little about my history But that's okI'm not ashamed I have nothing to hide I have to admit though I feel a little bit hurt by the revelations that the chef likes SineadI can't lie My heart is a little bit bruised And I feel slightly silly that I actually though that he might like meHow wrong was I?Very wrong apparently 
It just seems like I am always passed over for the girl who is younger than meThinner than me And prettier than meI never seem to get the guyAnd I'm just wondering If it will ever happen for meMy mam has pointed out That I am only really starting to get out and about and meeting people very recently She assures me that there is someone out there for me I hope she is right Because people Where is he already?
Work yesterday was lovely We had a group of 36And even though they were quite Demanding They were so lovely But my God I was kept on my toes Between one thing and another It was nice because I was there every day with them And got to know them Their names Their storiesAnd of course they quickly got to know my name All I could hear all day long was Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!!!And Christ on a bike I've never seen people my whole life They got through bread like  it was going out of fashion!Yesterday morning One of the ladies asked me if I could organize a cake for one of the other ladies who was turning 60So I got on to the chefAnd he made two cakes pretty quickly We also managed to find birthday candles SoAfter tea We lit the candies And I carried the cake up all the while singing Happy BirthdayThe woman who turned 60I think she is special needs But the smile on her face was just pricelessShe was so surprised So overwhelmed She must have hugged me ten times And thanked me a hundred timesIt really made my dayThen when I was leaving for the evening Some of the ladies came back to meAnd gave me a tip Which was so lovely of them I know that people staying in our center don't have a lot of moneyDo a gesture like that Is really appreciated I have another three weeks of work before I finish upThen I will be at a loose end So I am on the look out for something to doWhether that's another jobA course Or volunteering Hopefully something will come up
SoThat's me for another day folks I am now going to catch up on your blogs and some much needed sleepSee you on the flip side......
