Year 2/Day 55

Day 55

OK.  Let me update.

In the “real” world, today is actually Day 66.  I have managed to let myself get 12 days behind.  Blah.  That being said life has been VERY busy and tiring and exhausting and overwhelming and busy (oh, I already said that…it’s been busy).

Alright, let the updating begin!

I met my preceptor today!  She seems very nice.  I start next Sunday working 7am to 7pm.  Then, I won’t have another free weekend until after I graduate…yay……

Have I mentioned that this semester is really rough?

Since Wednesday my allergies have been horrible.  I feel gross and yucky.  It was so bad Thursday morning when I woke up that I went to the Dr and she confirmed it was allergies.  Yay…

So I’ve been taking all kinds of allergy meds and using up boxes of tissues.  How fun.  Just add that to my already complicated and busy life.  ;)

We got the keys to our new place today!! (Still renting, but an upgrade just the same)

Packing/moving/unpacking is on full force…although I probably should be studying…

A coworker at work saved a baby bird today!  It was so cute.

Apparently it ran into the glass window and gave itself a little birdie concussion.  She kept him in a box for a little while.  We tried to let it fly a few times, but it still wasn’t strong enough.

Her husband ended up coming by and picking him up to take him home until he was better.

Also, today is Will’s birthday!
Happy Birthday Knucklehead!! :)  Love ya!

Today was not a “fun” day.

Will’s grandfather passed away a few days ago and today was the funeral.  He drove up to Chattanooga early this morning, before traffic, and I left after the morning rush.

All things considered, the funeral went very well and the weather turned out beautiful.  What else can you say about such a sullen event?

A cute little lady bug landed on my car today when I was leaving work.  I didn’t get a “good” picture of it, but it still makes me smile.

First day back at the gym.  Eeks.

And I went twice today!  First, I met with a trainer in the afternoon and then went back after work with Michelle.  I’ve got to get back in shape.  I’ve been noticing that I’ve become weaker and stiffer, and I need to make some changes.

My schedule is already full, but if I don’t carve out some time for my health now I’m only creating more problems in the future.

So it begins.

Year 2/Day 47

I’ve noticed I haven’t been very talkative lately.  I guess things have just been rather busy, or else I’ve been behind on my days and “catching up”.

A lot is going on right now so I shouldn’t be surprised that I’m busy.  Let’s list everything for fun…

1) School.  Last semester of Nursing School!  That alone is enough to stress me out.  This one needs subcategories.
   a) Attending class two nights a week with occasional weekends
   b) Reading/studying material for class (which takes hours)
   c) NCLEX questions, questions, and more questions
   d) Preceptorship  (workload still to be determined)
   e) Graduation prep
2) Work.  Or should I say a delicate balancing act between working and taking time off to study while still making enough money to pay the bills.
3) Moving.  And all the stressors that come with moving (finding a place, packing, physical move, unpacking, money)
4) Health.  I’ve always struggled with my weight and now is no different.  I’ve joined a gym and I’m trying to add it to the schedule.
5) Relationships.  I’m also trying to be a good girlfriend as well as good friend during all this.  Now that Will’s schedule is different, it’s harder to spend time with him.  But it’s important, so I try to make as much time as I can.  Also, I’ve made some really good friends at work and I enjoy their company.

I’m sure I missing something, but that’s enough I think.  Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining.  That was not the point of this post.  I’m simply clearing my mind.  I love my life and those in it. 

But now…back to packing…

I had never had gelato until last night, and it was delicious!  :)

We’re starting to pack because we get the keys to the place on Friday.

Can you say…uh…packing…
