A couple weeks...Review
Life is good....
Like most people it is easy to say "Oh, I am so busy..." really I have things going on but nothing too horrible.
The past couple weeks have had more working hours than I am used to but again, nothing I can't handle or that is too horrible. I cherish my days off. I find myself looking forward to them not because I am away from work but because it allows me to home. I wake up in the morning with a smile and wonder "what fun shall we have today?"
WORK:
I started my new (second) job last week. Very different than any type of nursing I have done. Instead of patient care directly I will be organzing patient transports and various types of care. I like to think of it as another way to round out some skills. Lots of computer programs to learn and like every other place there are TONS of names to remember. I admit that my first shift there was very fun and light hearted. I like the idea of such a different kind of nursing. We shall see how it evolves. One or two shifts a week...
My other job, the ER, is also always fun. This week taught me again, rather reinforced the skill of "always having an out." Meaning, keep the door accessable. Don't corner yourself... The people I work with are very protective and when safety is questioned they intervene fast. I like to think that I am safe, can hold my own and can diffuse situations...at times I can't. At times the strength of a man or woman is un-real. I walk away from work in the early morning and sometimes I just think to myself, Thank you! Thank you for the people I work with, for my life and for so many other things. The way that people treat one another and even themselves is crazy.
Today while eating breakfast with my husband, my love we had one of "those moments." He looked at me and simply said "You have a really tough job." It was such a nice thought put into words. No job is easy, mine is different than others, but to be recognized that my partner 100% understands...that was amazing.
FUN:
The Foster pup, as mentioned before, Miss Butterstick is doing great. She coninues to walk on the leash well and is so excited to be with the pack. When walking she really craves being near Bishop,Andy, and me. She is a great balance of submissive and dominance. As her personality is coming out she is becoming more and more of a fun pup to have in the house. I have to admit I think that she will be harder to part with than some of the other pups.
Andy and I have some fun things planned for the next couple weeks. My parents are coming to visit and they are bringing the girlies with them! Oh I can't wait. It should be fun.
MIND:
I have been doing a lot of "soul" searching as most would say. Do I want to keep on travel nursing? Plans for the future? Career moves...you name it and I have been thinking about it. No answers have come to me yet but I feel this sense of calm nervousness...Does that make sense? Do you get like that?
Here is a question:
What do you do when you can choose two different directions?? How do you weigh out which one to take?
