A new job!

I have one more week at my old job! I know I will miss my co-workers and especially the patent's but I cannot make a living with my new set hours (24 weekly). So I have already started my new job on my off days! I have really enjoyed it. I am going to nursing homes and drawing blood. Yes I have become a Vampire! I wonder if I will get to see the Cullens lol ! I read a little story today about hugs and want to share it with you! Hugs are not only nice; they are needed. Hugs can relieve pain and depression, make the healthy healthier, the happy happier and the most secure among us, more secure. Hugging feels good,overcomes fear, eases tension, provides stretching exercises if you're short and stooping exercise if you're tall. Hugging does not upset the environment, saves heat and requires no special equipment. It makes happy days happier and impossible days possible! So give someone a hug today!
