It's been awhile. It's been a long while. There's been this nagging in the back of my mind to write - but ends up sqaushed beneath everything else. And forgotten. For months. Like a little pumpkin in my closet when I was 8. It ended up pretty stinky after a couple of months. Since the last time I posted, I have quit one medication that I felt did more harm than good - gained more weight, had less (!!!) energy, and all around felt icky. Well, after stopping that medication, and starting on a thyroid medication, I finally feel like I can get through a normal day. I was relying on caffeine to get me through the day - now I just drink it cause I like it!
I feel "settled" in at work - I finished up my correspondance classes, officially "graduated" from Union, marched at Commencement, applied for/and wrote the NLCEX (and passed) and have been practicing as a nurse since May. My life as a Registered Nurse is what I thought it would be. Somedays it takes quite a bit of self talk to "put my big girl panties on and deal with it". Emergency is not for everyone, but I enjoy it.
My husband is still in school, as he will be for the next 2.5 years. He's passing - I feed him, keep the house clean, and make sure he has clean underwear and he's pretty happy. Except when I forget to do laundry.... :) What I've been having a hard time with lately is keeping my thoughts in order. Sometimes I feel so discombobulated - like having a half finished thought, and never coming back to it. Or having a really hard time getting out what I want to say. Not that either of those things is completely new, but I feel like they have been worse lately. Like this whole blogging thing, I think the only reason I am typing tonight is I can't sleep and don't want to keep my hubbie up with constant tossing and turning. The warm milk trick? yeah, doesn't work on night nurses. We just drink it and keep on going.
Life goes on, guess we'll see how much does on till next time!
