I am renewing my CMA nursing certificate as of February of 2027 at Brightpoint college in a few months. I am transferring from teaching to nursing jobs within the next 5 months. I am doing this due to having MANY family emergencies this year including my mom being sick in 3 treatments of chemotherapy. Teaching is not paying me enough money to live on my own. For example, I tried to work on a teaching job on Friday, and I checked the job menu in the morning and my job was marked not cancelled. Then I went to Swift Creek Elementary school where I had an assignment. No one was there Friday the 6th of November, but three construction crews as the school pipes had exploded in a storm! I am dressed, ready, and there 20 minutes early. I received no notice at all they were cancelling my workday! I called the school phone number on the door and that is how I found out about the pipes. They do this to substitutes every 3 workdays there are constant cancellations with no notice. Then relatives like my cousin Zathyn yell I am crazy and lazy for not working more days per month. They will not let me work more at my job I have been constantly complaining! I am enrolled in night school programs to get another job and leave right now! I am doing paperwork for night school tonight. I made A grades on night school classes with student-loans all of year 2026. It is not a light need that another job hires me for more hours it is a desperately needed job move that must happen soon. #2026costofliving #2026nursingjobs
Too true, but then Gen Z works part time and calls Gen X lazybones. Receipt for classes at Brightpoint campus in Chesterfield for nursing class. I have been to the registration office in person many times.
It is important to always remember that some families gaslight and say a female is very sick only to get the money. Coaching a person to say they are disabled is far more common than many medical people know. I have had relatives try to do stuff like this to me and I have a university degree. I am re-certifying in medical assistant classes, and and for my homework I have found there are far more examples than this one out there. I have had a heart murmur since I was a baby and many brain therapy medications can cause cholesterol to spike in deadly ways. This makes these medications deadly to people with heart conditions which makes these medication contraindicated for nurse or doctor use on heart-murmur patients. This is why many medical advertisements are banned overseas as there is no way to say in a thirty second commercial all the deadly side effects of many medications. Opioids killed thousands and many other medications are just as dangerous. Forcing people to get medical care they don’t need is a form of medical malpractice. #2026medicaldangers
I have empathy with this situation as I had a heart murmur as a baby my family handled badly. I in no way think deadly force was justified.
Many people blame the victims of attacks for leaving their house.
People who only communicate as screaming and cursing see you reacting to screaming, cursing, and constant violent threats as “overreacting” when you are not wrong to want to live without fear in your home. I have been dealing with threatening behavior from my jerk cousin Zathyn again this week.
Cyber-bullying and the close action of cyber stalking have become a major problem in modern schools. Educators wish to teach students how to have an online identity in class for online job applications after school and for online classes to have student collaboration. Students also form popular meet-up groups in chat forums to meet new friends. Unfortunately, someone with a petty grievance may use the opportunity to do vicious things. Accusing other people of crimes and cyber-bullying they have not done is a method people use to do cyber-bullying. Males which get no phone numbers after joining a meet-up group may stalk girls and women. Warn both males and females that they should never give away personal information about themselves online when socializing and dating. They should only give information after many in-person meet-ups at a crowded mall where there is security. A second example is angry online-game fans who have been known to call the cops and say kids are holding their parent’s house hostage with guns after the loss of a game. Many cop cars show up and there are no hostages. The cops are ripped away from real emergencies to deal with this issue at an expensive loss of time and money. This became so common they had to pass laws against it. This hoax is called “swatting” and has put many kids in trouble as recently as this year. Here is a YouTube link to a recent case where a kid had 72 swatting cases in one year. A stunning reminder of just how hard working teaching jobs are somedays. The source Cyberbullying.org has some good tips in their website “Preventing Cyberbullying Top Ten Tips For Educators” online. These include “Formally assess the extent of the problem,” “Explain to students that all forms of bullying are unacceptable and that cyberbullying behaviors are subject to discipline,” “Cultivate a positive school climate,” “Specify Clear Rules regarding laptop use,” “Consult with your school attorney,” “Create a comprehensive formal contract to specify cyberbullying,” “Teacher social and emotional learning skills,” “Use peer mentoring,” “Designate a cyberbullying expert,” and best of all “Educate your community,” as methods to stop it in “Top 10” ways to avoid it at the following link for more information. In addition, ISTE has many great links including this one for internet guidelines both in the classroom and outside of it for the learner, leader, citizen, collaborator, designer, facilitator, and analyst.
I made it to the Rasputina reunion show at the Ottobar venue in Baltimore, MD. A more amazing fact is I made it home in one piece. Many thanks to my friends and family that helped me make it to a band reunion for a group I have collected albums on for over ten years. It was not just something fun to do for Halloween. I have now seen Depeche Mode play in Baltimore, Sisters of Mercy play in Baltimore, and Rasputina also play in Baltimore so it is officially a far better music town than the pathetic music of Virginia. I saw them play in many venues on the west coast as I have relatives that lived in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle I visited. I saw them play shows in Austin, TX. I liked seeing them play in Baltimore, MD as it reminded me that fun things I did in the past can still be done in-modern day with work and planning. Rasputina has been amazing on the soundtracks to many great TV shows and movies for years. I am glad I bought tickets for the show online as the venue was packed like sardines. They played many great songs that were new as well as great songs from older albums they almost never play. My review is that they are amazing I give them five out of five stars. My review of the Ottobar is that the place is far better than many places I have been to for sound quality and decorating. Unfortunately, parking and traffic are a nightmare around the club, but that is not the fault of the staff. I give them 5 out of 5 stars.
In the future I will get a hotel and take a cab or a rented bike in Baltimore when I can. If I was a wealthy lottery winner or retired wealthy movie star it would have been a far longer and better trip with more museum tours and hotel stays. I had to do the penny-pinching teacher salary version of a road trip. Baltimore, MD made the National Geographic list of the top places to visit in 2027 here: https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/baltimore-best-places-2027-nat-geo-list/
A word of warning is all hotels in the Baltimore area now charge 100 dollars in deposits per night on top of the room price and fees charged. A 50 dollar room listed for that price on discount travel websites is 100 dollars after you are charged fees, and then a 100 dollars in deposits is required on top of that price not refunded for two days afterwards. 200 dollars for a 50 dollar room is the secret price not listed on discount websites. You are expected to just have 200 dollars sitting around to not fall asleep at the wheel with a motel rest spot I discovered with horror on other travel visits. This is why RV sales are up which are also expensive and break. There are super markets with lots nearby the venue viewable on Google maps, but no parking tow away signs cover the lots.
Ottobar should warn people about that on their website. Not everyone can afford 50 dollars for overnight parking at the lots. Owners do not post signs saying they will lock in your car inside the lot late at night. Luckily I asked in advance and found they totally lock cars in the lots late at night in DC and Baltimore.
If you are near one of the next stops on the Rasputina tour buy tickets online for certain. It is an amazing show! However, remember to check out prices for all things online and do not depend on the discount travel websites being honest at all. They lure people to travel, and then drain them dry with double prices everywhere.
I was happy to get out and about wearing dress up clothes and makeup. I do own fancy dresses with puffy sleeves I wear with Halloween gypsy witch costumes for many years.

This month I found out all the Elvira movies and TV shows are on Tubi for free! It is perfect for Halloween! If you watch one good one like Elvira’s Night of the Living Dead Tubi will automatically show all her TV shows in a row non-stop. Also Tubi has every Bella Lugosi movie including White Zombie and Dracula. It has old and new versions of Nosferatu. It is vintage Halloween movie heaven on that app so I recommend it! I am going to get an Elvira T-shirt in honor of how great she is now. I have literally heard coworkers say Marilyn Manson invented black nail polish, but Vampira and Elvira had the market cornered on black nails far before he was singing one song. #2026Halloween
