On Tuesday … I will be interviewing someone for a position 😮😮

Me… I sat there one year ago, come February. In their exact position (only without Covid crap just yet)

I really lucked out with how I got the job and there was very few applicants at the time I was hired.

What do they say? Right place, right time? It just went my way. It’s been a ride lol (boy has it been a ride) but I have loved it ❤️ I have enjoyed it… it was hard sometimes and frustrating – but it’s been really amazing so far… I got a little of everything ❤️ and here I am now.

Look how fast I moved up and positioned myself ❤️

Anyway… I will be interviewing someone. Is my very first 😮

I have never interviewed someone for a job before 😮 my boss will be with me. This is my very first time

I should do fine because I interviewed my own boss when she interviewed me lol – I wanna make sure it fit, ya know? Lol

So I will interview her… and then I will have her meet my girls.

She will get to see the funeral home. I hope goes well. This will be her second interview – my boss been doing interviews for all 3 funeral homes … she thinks this woman is perfect for my funeral home lol

Ok let’s see – her resume seems really good.

So that will be a new thing.

Oh I have the funniest story lol… ok well I ran a few errands for the funeral home today …

My last errand was to take the funeral van to the car wash 🧽 (which is right next door)

First of all, it needed to be washed inside and out – is the flower van. So I dropped it off and said I would be back to pick up van and also pay our Bill. We have account but I have to pay the Bill.

So he calls me and tells me van ready so I walk back over and go to pay… I brought both October and November bills.

I asked if he could look up if October had been paid?

Instead of turning to the computer right there 😳…

He grabs a ledger 😮😮😮😮

😮 wait … what century am I in?? Lol omg … I haven’t seen someone pull out a ledger in a very long time!!! that was really funny

Another added bonus of this mask thing …

At first, ya it’s annoying cause sucks to breath and speak and I do kinda miss my naked face lol 😄✌️

But – I do like the mystery aspect … cause you can’t see my face lol

And … for things that are crazy … people can’t see how huge the smile is lol

Although 🤨 my eyes also smile 🤨… you can still tell 🤨

But that was so funny with the ledger – omg that is just … it blew my mind.

I can’t even imagine how to operate a business in this time period – only using a ledger 😮

But whatever – it’s a car wash – not a bank, thank god lol

I am on call tonight … already had one. Ok no more 😳🙏 no one else die!!

And then… for Christmas … umm … the kids and I have things we do together for Christmas … but we can’t do any of those things this year with covid.

So whatever we were just going to have a pizza Christmas at my house – nice and easy.

Well I stopped by my landlords and gave her a Bday present and also rent … her sister was visiting when I got there

They ask me what I doing for Christmas … cause they know I do these things with the kids. They also know – because of covid … we can’t

It’s usually just always me and kids – that’s it. Is really awesome ❤️

Anyway I believe she want to make sure we have a Christmas and invite us over

I wasn’t able to finish talking because I am oncall and had the death call come in…

She whispered as I left – we will talk about Christmas later – I just think they gonna do that.

Anyway … I have to open the haunted mansion tmrw morning … that is the furthest one from me 😝

But it actually works out …

One of my errands today was to go to the post office and get 4 Veteran’s flags … well the one near us was out and they say only post office who has right now is over by the haunted mansion …

So I will open haunted mansion and then when arranger finally comes – I will run to post office and grab the flags 🙏🙏🙏

We have flags for the funerals of veteran’s… you have to apply – and the department of veterans affairs will need your discharge papers

We drape those flags in honor of the veterans, over their casket ⚰️ 🇺🇸… or if cremated – placed with an urn ⚱️ 🇺🇸

But yeah anyway I have to go… I am opening haunted mansion tmrw

Busy day and it’s Friday ✌️❤️

Gnite 😘✌️

Ps… from 1 year ago: – they were speaking about 2020 and how it would go. 😮😮😮 (before anyone knew anything, before 2020 even happened)

www.youtube.com/watch

So I kind of observe and just listen.

I like everyone. I am very easy going and relaxed.

People tend to be very comfortable around me very fast… and also freely tell me things – everyone does this… I know many things that others don’t.

If is personal things – it is not my business and I keep to self.

Everyone tells me everything 🤨 I am just there and that happens 😳

So I know things … and then sometimes I learn things about stuff and because I know things I can see situation little better and see how could be from?

Sorry I don’t mean to be cryptic

Also… when it comes to how I take a person… I take them how they are with me.

Someone else may have issues with them, but if they are good with me – I don’t have a problem personally – I will make my own decisions with how I feel towards someone.

And I am also protective … and I like everyone. I don’t want any sides – just let me be with that – I am very neutral

When I was little … my grandparents were huge in my life – they didn’t like my mother because she took their son away from them – but my father loved her.

Anyway… I would be with my grandparents and they would speak really badly about my mother… I was a child. I have always just listened ✌️

I knew what had been said, knew how they felt …

But that was my mother, I love my mother with my whole heart – there was no way I would break her heart by telling her what they had said. Nope. So I kept it.

Families do that I guess – or I suppose I should say people? People do that.

Anyway that is an attributing factor as to why I keep what said to self.

I can see things when people tell me everything… I can see what could be causes and the more stories they tell… the more I piece together the puzzle 🧩

It is strange.

I will still take each person as they come at me…

And I do really like them all!!

I just know a lot of things in every direction 🤨

I like to just be happy, come in, work, laugh, be done, be happy and leave lol ✌️😄 see simple – no shit, nice and easy

But drama – I am not sure how to figure them out.

I am just not that way. That makes things too heavy for me.

I am the buffer…

Because I currently go well on both sides … both sides work really well with me so let’s hope that continues.

But there is a severe line between both groups? I am sort of smack dab in middle 😳

Both sides tell me stories about the other 🤨

Anyway whatever – I am just mentioning. I step carefully here – both sides are like land mines 🤨

youtube.com/watch

I kinda have a lot to do tonight…

Ya know… When I watch death… it comes in spurts…

Well used to come in spurts better… now is blending

For example… there will be times where our entire board is FULL and we are going crazy, we have all those heavy restrictions and we on 3 week lockdown tmrw I believe?

We pray for no one else to die! Cause it goes nuts …

We had just gone nuts… it started to relax for a moment… was like for 2 days lol I will take 2 days – let’s us get a handle…

We had a first call last night and I believe 2 from today…

Just today got 3 new – so here we go again

It’s like waves at the beach. hits you… rolls back a little … hits you again – yes that is an accurate assessment ✌️ they will keep coming

Someone called the funeral home today just to ask a question. They wanted to know if Alzheimer’s can be listed as cause of death on death certificate.

Yes. It can be the main cause and/or the only cause. The causes are provided to us by the decedents doctor…

We are the ones who will handle the death certificate… so we need all information because that must be approved and filed with the county.

You will need copies of this death certificate to transfer any accounts, holdings, etc… you can order them through us.

All names must be spelled correctly, all information must be correct, we need dr sign off and causes, many things. It is a process – we send you a proof of what will be filed – you ok that and make sure dates and names are correct, then we submit

With causes you can have 4 main causes – what was the most contributing factors to your death?

The doctor will need to provide us with causes and how long patient had causes. Duration that the patient suffered with the ailment

And then there is also another line where we can add any attributing factors

So like if you have a main cause… but was there an underlying attributing factor?

We have to know all of that.

I have seen some with direct cause being covid …

And I have also seen some with covid being listed as underlying factor. But not main cause.

So… Covid weakened? And something else killed them

So covid was considered a contributing factor

But I wonder how that works in with the stats ?? When they are looking at covid deaths ? What are they looking at?

Are they looking at main causes? What about the underlying ? And would the “underlying” cause even count? Because only attributed to the death, but did not directly kill?

I don’t know …anyway – could Alzheimer’s be a main cause on death certificate – yes, yes it can.

It’s weird being in this business – and then I look at my dads? It’s weird… cause that’s my dad – and I know what those issues are.

My dads main causes were:

They are going to be listed from top (being biggest cause) to bottom

Myocardial infarction (heart attack) … 1 hour ☹️💔

Coronary artery disease (clogged arteries) – 5 yrs

Pulmonary Hypertension (high blood pressure) – 5 yrs

He had 3 causes… the coronary artery disease and the pulmonary Hypertension which led to the main cause of the Myocardial infarction ☹️

He had underlying causes too… his underlying (or attributing) causes were:

Hodgkin’s lymphoma (he had cancer for 20+ years fought it, won and had been in remission for about 7 years before his death)

He had a lot of surgeries during that time period. So his body had been beat up for 20+ years. He had a lot of scar tissue and problems … he also had chemo and radiation during that and that chemo… that is poison – we save our lives with poison but sometimes it works. I guess there is a price for buying time ☹️ but anyway…

He was in remission. But his body went through hell for years and was not strong – so that was an attributing factor.

The other attributing factor he had was hyperlipidemia (high concentration of fat in the blood) so due to clogged arteries, plaque restricting blood flow, build up of fat in the blood.

They were always healthy and active… my dad always had high blood pressure ?

They lived in a retirement community and loved it… they had moved all the way from Maine to Arizona

That was 4 years prior to his death.

Suddenly when they retired … someone replaced my parents with unsupervised teenagers 🤨😄✌️

Suddenly they out gallivanting around, going to dinners and parties … we could never reach them 🤨

And they would say… we can’t be sitting around waiting for your call now lol … what lol … but why lol – I’m kidding … but they did say that when we say anything about never reaching them lol

They also did tons of bucket list trips…

My dad had one trip he always wanted to take … he always always always would talk about this Alaskan cruise 🚢

My mom would scrunch her nose lol … she is not a fan of coldness either lol

But right before he died – they had just gotten back. They had not even unpacked yet 💔

But he got his trip before he died ❤️

www.youtube.com/watch

My dad wouldn’t like that song lol … but I remember that song- and you should do whatcha like… what you want. Be happy like that.

Umm …

Oh the heels 👠… ok well I was really tall and leggy today so I didn’t like that – it makes me uncomfortable

www.youtube.com/watch

Also… I must walk carefully. 🤨 see I’m not the most coordinated person… so think about how to walk when walking … you try heels 👠

But the heels were comfortable… very cushy!! Also they accented my arch and looked really nice … just don’t have me walk lol 😄✌️

Also… driving a car with heels is interesting 🤨 I didn’t like that either lol

I much prefer comfort and flats 🥿 … the heels were very pretty though – just not really worth it. I don’t really need them… I am perfect size – I don’t like being taller – and can’t be smaller so I am just right.

The only reason heels are worth it is because they do accentuate the leg, and it does look hot… but ya know – not for me at work ✌️

Lesson learned – stick to what I love lol 😄✌️❤️ I am kidding but on some things just yes lol ✌️

I have something else to speak about… but I will do another post on that.

Ok well I will do that shortly ✌️

Today I wore heels 👠😳

I do not know what possessed me 😳…

They are wicked cute ❤️👠 and actually very comfy! Sorta

I am definitely going to feel it in my legs later tonight – so I will complain later lol 😄✌️

I should have brought back ups, or slippers – but I did not

Also I am tall, like insane tall 😮 all you see is legs – so I was not thinking.

So glad I am locked away- but I have to travel after first meeting 😮👠

What was I thinking ?

When I put them on this morning I thought “oh this will be fun” but now I am doubting my decision lol

Well there will be stories lol ✌️

So what a nice Monday ❤️ thank you for not dying today ✌️❤️

Was peaceful easy chill Monday. Not crazy!!

All went well with that service 👏

The office was nice and chill

Oh here is something … so to do a death certificate … the doctor – (usually last dr to see or primary) must sign off on the death and provide us with causes.

We then have to get that approved through the county.

The doctor has to record saying I, doctor so and so, sign off on the death of “this person” – blah blah blah

Well this one doctor just can NOT say the name of the decedent if his life depended on it 🤨 … how you gonna go through that many years of medical training and hopefully know that shit, and then can’t get a name right???

Twice now mispronounced name… and he is hard to get a hold of too!! Wasting time and money because he can’t pronounce a name. This is your patient dude!!

We even specifically kept calling and making sure they could say it right 🤨

It is not a hard name 🤨 ridiculously easy. The longer he takes to pronounce correctly – the more we are pests – it will still need to be done correctly – he has to 🤨

They have a time frame this needs to be completed in. It is the county not us… he has to comply.

We do sometimes have issues with getting a hold of doctors to sign off on death certificates!! That is normal… the worst ones I have seen are the ones who work for the umm?? Low income health insurance ?

Those doctors – I am surprised they have any patients cause if you were dying good luck getting a hold of them 😮😮😮

And when you are dead you will need even more luck 🤨 how is that even health care?

That is terrible!

We just had 3 cases with that low income health insurance 🤨 was same exact thing on all 3 !! Good luck … after I dealt with the first one and the other 2 came – I said to them – “good luck” you won’t get them. And they did not. We have to go through county at that point and they tell us what to do.

But whatever

Today was good.

I’m still little confused why country boy text me? That kinda makes me think something??

So… ya know… I like him. He’s really hot, he always treats me really amazing, he was there for me through things etc etc. he’s amazing ❤️

But I meant what I said about what I wanted. Period

I am not currently dating or anything

I have been too busy situating my life. So what do you want? Ya know?

I feel like he just doing that to make me think of him?? 🤨

Here’s the thing… I was explaining this to the girl at work today …

Ok… so… I am very different than he is. I could not be anymore opposite – and do not go telling me opposites attracts – nope!

I am extremely girly… very very much all woman!!! I also had a certain type of upbringing. So ya know I know a certain kind of “world”… I can fit into any world, but my mannerisms and demeanor and just instilled

I am poised – proper with an edge lol 😄✌️ …proper with a wilder side? You just have to know me for the wild side lol ✌️😄😘

I was raised in corporate America – I know corporate America 🤨 … I can be in any world but you can easily tell my fabric?

But he is very different, he is country… all man… very manly… hunts, fishes, camps, does tons of those things. Baseball player… owns 3 businesses and every single one of them is something using your hands

He is not poised – not that it matters … cause it doesn’t … but sometimes I just noticed maybe some disregard for social standards? On some stuff? Very much does not want to be told what to do by anyone including the government

He is a Republican which again, totally fine – I could over look that lol 😄✌️ I’m kidding – I just wouldn’t listen lol

He just is very country and rough around the edges – I am suburb and my edges are smooth.

The girl I was with said “oh that reminds me of Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton” 🤨😄😄

Yeah that would be a good comparison somewhat

www.youtube.com/watch

😮😮😮

www.youtube.com/watch

Ok wait… no not like that 🤨 the only similarities are that I am more main stream suburb and he is country… severely lol ✌️

We are same in that he is country and she is not… that is the same as us.

But it’s not like that. I’m sorry I may like him ALOT… and yes I think about him… but whatever … I am not willing to just drop what I want. It is severely important to me!!

I only ask for one thing. And it is nothing bad or anything like that… nothing that one would question to do … either that is how it is or nope I’m out. It is that important to me. And it’s nothing huge to ask – but if you can’t do it – then I won’t want you … even if I really do.

I’m sorry – I need to have that one thing and that’s it.

I’m not settling. It’s either there or it’s not. I can not be with anyone who can’t give me that one thing.

And I don’t play games – he is used to girls who play games – yeah I’m not 20… I am too old and too tired for games so don’t even approach with that… it will totally just push me further away

So… I just get the feeling he doesn’t want me to forget about him? Like when I am ready to date or something?

Yeah Buddy listen, without that one thing… there is no way. No point.

And then I also thought – well I could just keep him as a friend right? – and I don’t see him anyway…

I dunno? He has an electricity to him? So it is good for me to stay away unless he’s serious so ya know??

And I don’t even know if that be ok because we are very different. We are not from the same type of world 🌎

www.youtube.com/watch

So I am just careful.

I will leave it as is, unless he texts again then we will talk lol – I am the communicator – he is not – but he is aware of this lol ✌️

I heard this on my way to work this morning ❤️ I love this Christmas Song ❤️

www.youtube.com/watch

I work today – all day.

We have a weird service today – ONLY 10 at church – outside … 15 minutes … burial is at a cemetery not even close to us 😮😮😮

The burial is 3-4 hours (yes I said hours!) away 😮

So someone be going to Fresno. Lol (it won’t be me lol)

But drive say 4hours down… the burial is also 10 people only and 15 minutes … then they drive and come back lol

So 8 hours for 15 minutes 😮 whoa lol … driving down with a decedent for 4 hours 😮 last road trip ✌️

I will be in office – but should be ok for a Monday??

Our office is not to let anyone in. It is strictly appointment only… if you come to our door we can NOT let you in.

So just deliveries I can open door for or an appointment I am aware of.

Masks at all times.

Sometimes I come home from work and forget that I am wearing the mask still – there have been days where I still have my mask on hours after being home, just because I forgot it was on 🤨😮😮😮

I still like the mask… it just kinda hurts my ears sometimes

And I do not like the kind that go on your head or like turtlenecks 😝

I also discovered – I will never again be wearing turtlenecks or sweaters 😮😳

Dude my breasts are good for my size… they are not like porn boobs … (they are bigger than what I did have but they are not crazy) … but they look like porn boobs in turtlenecks and sweaters 🤨 that sucks!!! But whatever I just won’t wear those anymore – this is times when I am annoyed with boobs lol ✌️

Anyway… today should be nice chill good Monday – please let’s hope and pray for that.

www.youtube.com/watch

Ok I should go. It’s Monday 😮 here comes the week 😳

Country boy texted me … so I am just quiet. I don’t really have a lot to say ?

He was sweet – very nice and polite – said nice things and then happy holidays

But you know… what is the motive? I do not trust him.

So I am just quiet. I am thinking. That kinda threw me off.

I don’t know how I feel about him in my life?

www.youtube.com/watch

I am not suspicious of other women or anything like that… is something else … and is tied to that one thing I want, so I just don’t think he is the one? I am not letting that go – it’s extremely important to me!!

So I am just suspicious of his motives – that just makes me quiet.

Anyway. Nice Sunday ❤️ quiet

Well… we have new guidelines to follow.

So everything is BY APPT only.

If you come with a mask, we don’t know your mask is clean or not? So we give you new mask to place over yours

You will also be signing “Contact Tracing” forms … we have already been doing that.

Your temperature will be taken.

We will also be recording our own temperatures daily.

Masks to be worn at all times! ALL TIMES!

People generally will not be allowed inside but incase they need to for some reason we be doing all that

When I take my mask down to drink – I feel bad… Like I am doing something forbidden 😮Then I don’t want to drink.

Only WebEx Meetings for arrangements and when dropping off clothes or picking up death certificates – call us when you are here. We will come to you in your car – please have your mask on.

I am sorry, I can’t offer you much for services … you can not have closure at this moment… sorry. I have to tell you no.

It is not in our hands – our hands are tied. Not a good time to die. Don’t die right now!

And we about to go into another severe shut down. Our hospital capacity is just about at limit

And you can ask questions if you are curious… yes I see the cases at work, yes we suit up…

Age range and conditions that I see with covid… this is just from me… remember I am no one… is only my own personal view and what I see…

But I see the deaths are typically ranging among the elderly… 65+… the ones I keep seeing are with alzheimers or some sort of underlying issue (if they were weak already from any other condition)

Right now… I see it with older mostly. But I am watching people get sick with it.

When a hospice nurse calls from a nursing home… it’s a little like James Bond – where they are like …

Wear full PPE (personal protective equipment) … come to front lobby to have temp taken – then wait for further instructions

It’s serious now 🤨

So I get to see the death aspect … but I am also watching it approach.

Remember my cop guy? He has it. A child at my daughters school has it… it is in our community now…

It’s like you see train comin… all you can do is close you eyes and hold your breath – it be fine. What is meant to be will be. What are you gonna do?

When I had cancer – you feel helpless. You feel a lot but you have no control.

It’s very similar

Ok. Well.

Is covid trying to keep me at the funeral home?? …because that is TOTALLY working!!! ✌️

Today went well. It’s just always messed up when covid enters – it sends all my arrangers all scrambling

I had so many meetings today!! 🤨 meetings and modules and cremated remains lol

I get antsy. Fidgety when in front of computer too long and all inside lol… ugh!!! (I have no windows in my office – I can’t even look out)

Well anyway. Oh I showed my arranger this: (you have to watch the whole thing)

www.youtube.com/watch

Lol ❤️❤️ fricken SNL ❤️❤️

Ok so that is it I believe?

I be reading and catching up some. ✌️

Gnite 😘❤️✌️

Stay safe – be well – don’t die! 🙏
