So 6:30 on a Sunday evening and I'm suddenly stricken with the urge to blog. So much has happened in the month's worth of time since my last blog. The biggest of which has been my fiance's arrival and subsequent stay. I have been quite busy spending time with him..well sort of. There is endless time to relax, knit, read, and browse the web, but for some reason I have not been interested in blogging.
A brief over view of this month, well friend drama, food,poisoning, fat, sex, Cincinnati zoo, knitting, Lia Sophia, photography, family, pets, Martha Stewart, food, food, and more food, spending money, shopping, and shadowing at a local hospital. Key words for the past month.
Some of the serious stuff, well this past week I became overwhelmed with anxiety. Primarily because I missed one night's dosage of birth control and mental meds due to food poisoning. Could not keep ANYTHING down, though I did try, it all came back up. Wasn't like I could have injected the stuff. Anyways, a mixture of PMS, missed meds, anxiety about being separated from Nick again, and uncertainty about my future caused panic attacks for several nights. It was enough that my doctor was concerned, but all is well now. At least I think it is..not really giving a damn what anyone else thinks.
On the knitting front, I've spent most of my time this month knitting coasters and dishrags for my mom, grandmother and aunt. It began with just for fun, for my mom. Then it was suggested I make some for my grandma for Derby Day. Then my aunt did something really nice for me, and said she wanted some knit dishrags in return. I'm throwing in some coasters as well, but you could say I'm just about sick of knitting dishrags. Still, I'm grateful for the kind act from my aunt which prompted me to make hers. So far I've finished all her dishrags and am going to shortly start on the coasters as extra. Hope she likes.
My future is looking bright. I'm really excited about going to Nursing school (assuming my application is accepted). I'm hoping to make the July quarter, but if I can't do that I am certainly going to shoot for October.
Last night I shadowed my cousin (an RN) in the emergency room where she works. It was such a wonderful experience and has given me a kick in the ass to get back on the ball work and school wise. I'm really glad I have the first hand experience of what nurses do, at least in the ER I was at, and it gave me a better idea of what my future holds. Its just not the same reading it on a computer screen compared to seeing it with my own eyes. I'm hoping to shadow again soon, hopefully on the night of the full moon. Its night shift, and by 2:00 I opted to go home and get some rest, with the hope of going back again and staying longer.
Anyways, being busy last night really made me want to have a busier life. I'm tired of sitting at home all day with nothing to do unless I go out shopping or something. I just want to focus on work and school again. So when Nick leaves, and a few days before, I'm going to start hunkering down and looking for a job. I'm hoping my cousin can put in a good word for me where she works. Plus I need a new car. Mine is about to fall into a million pieces.
Anyways..back to knitting I go.
