Ok so school is over and I am pretty sure my brain has "shut off" for the remainder of the spring and maybe even summer. I could very easily slip back into the "not memorizing things on purpose" way of life. But I find it also just as interesting that I am missing the intellectual stimulation and challenges that school brought/brings. I never thought I would say this again but I actually miss being in school. I think the fact that I am really enjoying the nursing classes has made the biggest difference. I need to find a focus for the summer that can be just as stimulating.
I am working most every day between the two jobs. The one in Becker is only short shifts for training right now. Quite a few similarities between the two hotels, but there is a difference in the presence of the people working at each place. Both have good aspects to them but one is definitely more in line with my way of thinking than the other one. Once again, God is teaching me patience or learning another new lesson. He sure has been preparing me for something big. Many obstacles that I am trying to overcome still.
Adjusting to life on my own is still challenging. I don't do "alone" very well. All I can say is "Thank you Lord for Skype!" I don't think I could get through everything without it. It's almost (very loosely termed) as good as being with the one you love when they live over 1000 miles away.... well not that good, but it does help out a lot! Keeps the smile on my face and determined to forge ahead with my plans. I really do wish there was the opportunity to take classes over the summer so I could stay in the "swing" of things and graduate sooner. Oh well, just one more obstacle to climb. I can see the bottom of this hill though!
Went shopping with my daughter yesterday. Love spending time with her. She has "ordered me to go to Texas" since I am not a good influence when it comes to shopping for her and limiting her to spending. We have similar tastes so I find a lot of things that she looks adorable in. She thinks I make her spend too much money...lol/
My son is working a lot. I miss seeing him everyday. He lives with his dad. He used to call or text me most every day, but now it is sparse. Not a fan of this. But I continue to try and find ways to connect with him. He is so intelligent and kind hearted. I always likes to tease me and gives me the biggest/best hugs!! Miss that. Evidently another obstacle, but one I will handle.
I'm still working on "adorable" for me. When your wardrobe does not need much besides jeans, tshirts, and scrubs (for school) you don't see the sense in buying much. Although I have to admit, I am secretly in love with Victoria's Secret!! That is a definite downfall for me! One hotel requires me to wear all black- with a lovely grey,black, and white scarf. Not much for variety there. The other hotel is business casual- which I can wear many of the clothes I wore when working at the hospital as the EVS Supervisor- they are all too big now, but I am trying to alter them with my sewing machine. Pants are a bit of a challenge but I am figuring them out. Now to try and alter my summer clothes. No sense buying new when I have perfectly good ones that just need to be taken in a bit. Hmmmm, surprising what one can learn to do with no money.
Off to chill for a bit with my man on Skype!
