Eck....so lately I've been feeling like shit. My job, as much as I love it, has been a complete drag and really wearing on my psyche. I have been the epitome of stress and have been so pre-occupied with all of the things bouncing around in my brain that I have had little time for well, anything. Then on top of that, my feeling like shit turned into a more physical manifestation. I don't know if it's food poisoning or the stomach flu, but this is day two of some serious stomach rumble and accompanying destruction. However, I see the light at the end of the tunnel: I applied for a new job a couple of weeks ago, and got the call today that they wanted to hire me. I am totally stoked! Not only will I be a real nurse actually taking care of patients instead of just passing meds all day, but I will be working 12 hr shifts 3 days a week, that's right, 4 days off!!! Holy MOLEY! Whatever will I do? heehee. Well, for a while I will probably pick up some extra shifts, stay on at my old job per diem and keep the doors of opportunity open. I just feel a great weight lifted off of my shoulders. I had been debating in my mind for the last two weeks about whether I should go to this new job or stay at my old one because there were so many factors involved, and I honestly couldn't have told you two days ago what I was going to do. But when he called this AM and said they wanted to hire me, I felt ecstatic and I knew I had to accept. So no more stress!
Now on to more training related things, it has been raining wicked hard for it seems like forever, ok I think it has been a little over a week. But not exactly enticing for one so wimpy as myself. So today, Erich and I cleaned out the garage, mostly so he could pull in the Mini and do the brakes, but also so we can set up the trainers and get some pedal on.
Ok, I guess I should confess: last week, I had more than my alotted one beer. In fact, I had approximately 5 beers over the week. I chalk it up to stress, I have no excuses, I'm not sorry, but perhaps I am now reaping the consequences. On a bright note, I had a pint of Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout at Carnegies that was fantastic! More like coffee than any beer I have ever had, and so delicious. Dark and lingering, it lasted me at least the time it would take to drink two or three lighter beers. And it is the memory of that delicious beer that I will carry with me through the end of this first month of training. Until next time, cheers!
