Days 105, 106, 107 and 108

I know I have said this before, but I am getting so bad at posting on the actual day stuff occurs. It would make each post so much more full but I am just getting lazy and bored with this.......

Day 105: I was supposed to get today off, but because I was sick the last two days, Emily had me come into Rapids. Good thing too, because Tony called in sick.... Lynx was apparently busy, but I wasn't there because it was my 'day off '. I came home and looked for apartments in Utah for a bit. I am leaning more towards renting a house with friends. I also talked to Ethan today for about 10 minutes. Ya, he actually had a conversation (as much as a three year old can have) with me! 

Day 106: Work was work today. It was a DEX day so slow.... After work, Trisha, Robert and I went on a mini hike. It was on a rope course because it got so steep. It was a nice little hike. No Sugarloaf or Wallowas..... I was glad I went. I am getting a bug for hiking again! It is exhausting in the beginning, but it gets so much easier as you go! After we got back to the Lodge, we had to wait for the shuttle so we had dinner at the EDR on property. Rudy has taken over it so the food is actually really good now. He made baked chicken breast, not soaked in butter, russet potatoes, not soaked in butter, and sauteed squash, also not soaked in butter! I was so thankful for a meal not soaked in butter! When I got home, Rudy text me and wanted a foot massage. I went down to his room and we were able to talk and just hang out. It was nice! I also found out that a couple got married tonight. Apparently, a foreigner paid a girl a bunch of money to get married so he could stay here.... golddigger.......

Day 107: Today was a very long day. I got off a two like always, but it just seemed to drag on and on and on and on..... It may just be that I am tired. I haven't had a nap in a really long time and I never really get much sleep. So I took a nap today when I got home and slept through dinner. That was fine with me because I hate food at homestead and I wasn't really hungry. I woke up around 9 for an hour or so, and then went back to sleep. 

Day 108: Today was alright. First of all, last night I kept getting text messages from Facebook about people tagging me in photos so I put it on alarm only. I shouldn't have done that because I got a text from Mary at around 1245am telling me the Northern Lights were out. I missed them. They should be out tonight so I am going to wake up in the middle of the night to see them! Work was slow at Rapids and Lynx was a disaster. I hate the stupid ice cream machine. It always explodes on me AFTER the ice cream has frozen. I have to clean it out then to put it back together and my arm always gets so cold! I got so mad about it today. After work, I went to Homestead and grabbed some stuff and went back to the canyon. Megan and I hiked Sugarloaf again today. We were going to do a photo shoot thingy, but ended up just hiking and taking a few snapshots. The pictures made me realize I really need to lose some weight. I noticed it on my other hikes photos, but these are just bad. I plan on hiking something everyday through the end of the season. I know I am hiking part of Mt. Healy next week for Mallory's birthday. I hope we do the whole thing and not just to the overlook. I am not as sore from this hike as I was last time. I am loving this. I know when I get home, dad wants to go to the Wallowas for a little bit. :) 23 days, 23 days, 23 days!

Dy 104

Was sick again. I slept until past lunch. Today was Christmas too. I woke up around 215 and realized Anna would be home soon. I pretended to be asleep and scared her when she came in. It was awesome. Dinner was really not bad today. It was a full Christmas dinner with dressing, prime rib, ham, turkey, homemade rolls, many desserts, a few salads and more. It was fun sitting around the table. Emily says I have to go to work tomorrow even though it is my 'day off'. I get it, I've been sick for 2 days where I should have been working, but still. It was supposed to be a day off. Oh well.... 27 days left.

Oh, I finished Pet Semetary. It wasn't as scary as everyone said it would be. There were parts that were pretty intense in the book that should have been in the movie, but that's what happens when you change a book into a movie.

Day 102 and 103

Day 102: I woke up pretty sore this morning from Sugarloaf.  I was hoping to switch my day off from Friday to this morning, but Emily said no. Oh well. Work was hard because I couldn't do the stairs or walk well. I finally got to go home. I ended up reading more of Pet Semetary, which is a really good book so far.

At dinner there was a big upset between Tony and Kelly(who wants him). The story is as follows: Tony has a friend back home who has issues and needs to see a therapist about it. Instead of doing that, she calls Tony every night to talk and he is up until midnight every night with work at 5am. He always comes in tired. I guess they are now 'dating'. Makes no sense to me, but whatever. He was saying how tired he was at dinner so we all suggested he go to bed early and not get on the phone with her. He started saying that she would get mad and freak out and maybe hurt herself (told you shes crazy...). At that point, Kelly decided to put in her unwanted and rude two cents. She said 'You never say anything nice about her. You always complain about her' and so on. He got really mad at this comment and he told her to shut up. He cussed a bit and looked like he was going to throw something at her. I was kinda hoping for it, for one, seeing him stand up for himself would be good and Kelly would get someone to tell her off! haha. She kept talking for a few seconds and so Tony just got up and left. Kate went down the table to Kelly and yelled at her for being rude. Kelly eventually got up and left too.

They people up here really have some issues. Everyone tells me that he or she or they have been through 'real s**t in their lives'. It makes me thankful to say that I haven't been.

Also, the post that Sam had posted has been getting pretty intense up until Sam finally posted a huge post on it. I think Garrett and I talked it out a bit (healthy) and I don't feel as angry anymore.

Day 103: I woke up feeling so sick this morning. I was coughing all last night and my neck and head are killing worse than my legs. It has been this way all day. I go from having chills to being hot. I slept on and off until 1230 then had lunch. J suggested that I get into the canyon and go into the hot tubs for a bit to soak. I was in there an hour and it didn't do anything. Its only 5 and I feel like crap. I took some NyQuil around 430. I hope I feel better by tomorrow, but right now I am kind of doubting it. I will probably get a bite or two of dinner and then go to bed.

I only have 28 days left and it seems now that each day is slowing down. It may be that I am actually counting now, but still. It isn't fair that it is slowing down! Tomorrow will be 27 :) Less than a February to go! haha

That post that Sam had posted, she removed it from her wall.

Day 101

I climbed 4,318 feet up today! I climbed Sugarloaf Mountain after work. Megan and I started at Noon. We got back down at about 545. It was awesome. I know I will probably be a little sore tomorrow but that is okay. We are thinking of doing it again next week! There were some almost straight up hill parts. I got a little sunburn on my face but that was the worst of my injuries. My big toes are a bit sore from the hike down, but that's fine. I can handle it.

I will put an application in for an apartment tonight too. I am in such a good mood. That hike really made my day, well week for that matter.

Well I just tried applying, but I am not a student and it talks about having to be a student in the area and I am not so nevermind on that one......

Day 99 and Magic 100!

Day 99: Work was work. Dan came in to visit too. He wanted me to come say hi at Salmon Bake, but I forgot to. I was going to come home and play Monopoly, but ended up falling asleep. I also started reading Pet Semetary. It is really good so far.

Day 100: We got busy at Rapids today. It was one minute until closing and someone came up to order. After them, another 2 big groups came in to order. They saw that we closed at 9, and still proceeded to order a bunch of stuff. It made me kind of mad. Oh well, that's the food industry business. Lynx was slow too. I could have  gone at one, but Jessica thought it would get busy, but it didn't. So, I had to wait around until two : /

I came home and read Pet Semetary for an hour, then fell asleep. I got woken up around 7 by Anna wondering if I was going to wake up and come down to dinner. It wasn't very good, as usual. I had a good time laughing with Angel, Anna and Steven though.

Tomorrow I work at Rapids only, after that, Megan and I are planning on hiking Sugarloaf mountain. It is pretty big, but it should be a good time.If it's raining, I don't know if I will want to do it. We will see. Also, exactly one month until I am done here. The countdown has officially begun. We have Christmas on Wednesday. Tomorrow there is a gingerbread decorating contest and there is also a door decorating contest with cash prizes. Anna and I will work on it tomorrow probably! I must win. If my costume was any indication of how creative I can get, I think I have a good shot at winning this!

So, yesterday, Sam Atkinson posted this on Facebook, after that is the fight that ensued....

Kids with Special needs aren't weird or odd, they're Angels. They only want what everyone wants, to be accepted. Can I make a request? Is anyone willing to post this and leave it on your status for 1 hour? It is Special Education week & Autism & ADHD Awareness month

  • Preston BahrRobbie Bahr and 4 others like this.
    • Garrett Hart I had a "special needs" individual masturbate in class one time. Makes it sort of hard to be accepted.
      Yesterday at 8:54pm · 
    • Kylee Rose Bahr No it doesn't. My brother is special needs, he may do that, but it doesn't make him less acceptable. He just doesn't understand that it isn't appropriate in public. If your student was "special needs", which I am assuming you mean not really, than he isn't in the same category as kids like my brother.

    • Garrett Hart It would be unacceptable if I did it, meaning that that is discrimination.
      Yesterday at 9:25pm · 
    • Garrett Hart Im not trying to be hard on them, but if some one can't distinguish what is is acceptable behavior, what's to stop them from slitting a persona throat?

    • Garrett Hart Persons
      Yesterday at 9:28pm · 
    • Kylee Rose Bahr If a little kid did it, would it be unacceptable? Just because they can't distinguish acceptable behavior, doesn't mean they will go as far as murder. Special needs people have been sent to prison for doing that. Meanwhile, the normal person can plea insanity and get away with murder. It is something they can't help.

    • Garrett Hart Keep crying about how I view them. If I see an old person struggling to drive and I fear for my safety, am I just being mean? Or am is my bias in place to protect me? My grandmother taught special needs and her student bit through her ear. Wasn't a bad kid, just could "distinguish acceptable behavior." I'm not concerned with your pity, I'll keep my prejudices, thanks.

    • Kylee Rose Bahr Wow. Didn't know it was possible, but you just gained a few more points on the douchebag scale... Congrats to you!

    • Garrett Hart No, you are a phony. What you do, is no different than pretending to not notice an individual with one leg, or one eye. I have accepted their difference, unlike you who tries to pretend they are just like you and me, when really you are just some self righteous cunt who unveils your pity when they just want to be treated equally, instead of everyone like you boo hoo'ing them

    • Garrett Hart You obviously dont understand my point, and if you think I don't care about mentally challenged individuals, you couldn't be further from the truth. I'm just saying, I treat them as I would ANYONE ELSE, and I don't call them special, that's condescending in itself.
      29 minutes ago · 
    • Kylee Rose Bahr A physical disability is different from a mental one. I don't pretend they are just like you and me. My brother is mentally 5 and he is 15, I treat him like he is a child because that is what he understands. If I treated him as if he were 'normal', I would yell at him for doing stupid stuff. I would complain about how he didn't do things right. But I don't. I see he and other kids like him are different. I would never pray this on anyone, but I hope for your sake, that if you ever find someone to have kids with, you have a special needs one so you can understand that they are different and need different treatment than 'normal' people.

    • Preston Bahr Sir, I wish for you to have a special needs child when you are a parent to be taught how to freaking respect other people and not be so stupidly ignorant.
      22 minutes ago · 
    • Garrett Hart You are far above me for wishing some one a life like that.
      21 minutes ago · 
    • Garrett Hart You have no idea, what I am trying to say. Go read a book.
      20 minutes ago · 
    • Preston Bahr It would teach you a lesson and also, having a brother with this disability; he is a blessing to have.
      19 minutes ago · 
    • Preston Bahr So it might not be as bad as you say it is.
      19 minutes ago · 
    • Preston Bahr Garrett, if I were you, I would stop talking and remove all your comments because you are making yourself look bad and EVERYONE is against you.
      18 minutes ago · 
    • Kylee Rose Bahr No I do get it. You said it makes it hard to accept them, but if you were to see if from their angle, you would see it differently. How would reading a book help me understand you?

    • Preston Bahr What do you mean I have no idea. You obviously don't.

    • Preston Bahr I DO.
      18 minutes ago · 
    • Garrett Hart Has some one ever told you something to make you feel better? You think being special and called special makes you feel better? No, it's condescending.

    • Garrett Hart Boo hoo hoo.
      15 minutes ago · 
    • Garrett Hart I have nothing against the mentally handicapped, you obviously think you're better for putting them in a dream world and pitying them, I wont stop you.
      14 minutes ago · 
    • Garrett Hart I'm criticizing you for making them feel different by treating them differently than you would anyone else, which you are. If you understood what I was saying, you would know that. If I whipped out my dick in class, people would notice, why should it be any different than them?
      11 minutes ago · 
    • Preston Bahr You are criticizing them too be saying in your first comment that you find it hard to accept.
      10 minutes ago · 
    • Garrett Hart Because I'm not going to accept some one pullin their dick out. I'm going to say you can't do that, fool! And only because I WOULD SAY THAT TO ANYONE in that position, but he's an angel so I have to say it's alright. Is that what you want?
      8 minutes ago · 
    • Preston Bahr That is not what I am saying. From now on, just keep your rude comments to yourself.

    • Garrett Hart And if it's of any consequence, I hope you have healthy nor would I wish I'll will towards anyone. Goodnight
