Do you ever want to review the list of people in your life and remove the ones that don't need to be there, either because they don't treat your right or just the fact that their personal drama is driving you crazy? Because I'm currently doing that!
I have way to many good things in my life going on right now where I don't need to add other people's melodrama into the mix of things. Seriously, they complain and feel sorry for themselves...when in fact they are the ones doing it to themselves! So frustrating.
But that's all done now because you are officially out!
I think I'm just tired. Work has been frustrating. A co-worker and I were saying that we had invisible cloaks on yesterday because it felt like no one wanted to acknowledge us or even ask our opinion on anything.
Um, hello! WE know the patient WAY better than you do. WE are trying to help YOU out.
And then you have the times when you WISH you had an invisibility cloak on...as in when you're trying to get something done or go on a break and you have the annoying intern asking you to do stupid things. Really though?
As much as I'm trying to stay positive at work...it's really tough. ESPECIALLY when you have a co-worker tell you that you need to be perkier. WTF? Like I told her, I'm the effin perkiest person on the damn unit! Thank you very much.
The only things keeping me sane right now are my incredible hubby, my wonderful family, my amazing friends, a glass of wine or a margarita ;)...and Zumba/ cardio kick mornings. I'm sooo glad I'm heading back to the gyms and doing fun classes on off days. It's like a breath of fresh air.
I have 4 days off from work starting today. Looking forward to date night with another friend couple of ours, Santa Cruz tomorrow for boardwalk fun, and the Wharf to Wharf run on Sunday. This is just what I need.

Work has been insane these past few weeks...maybe even months. Yesterday was probably one of the nicest, fun days we've had in a really long time. Yes, it was a Sunday. Before we could at least look forward to the weekends being a little more laid back...but that wasn't the case during the last few weeks.
It was just...fun. The patients are pretty much the same (sick...same players). We do have a new team of docs coming in who are really nice and good. The people you work with definitely make a huge difference. And the fact that we all work really well together, help each other out...it makes ALL the difference.
Add in that we were all going craaaazy pants yesterday...and you get a really good day, full of free chocolate, watching a certain roasting on youtube, and some crazy ladies doing planks on the floor.
Those days are nice...like a breath of fresh air. Because for a while there I was getting burned out and bitter. But now I feel like I can do this again for the next 20+ years! ha. Maybe...

I got a new camera yesterday, thanks to the hubby! It's a Canon PowerShot SX230 HS. It's got some good nerdy, technical features, but slightly larger than a compact point-and-shoot. I absolutely love it. I wanted to play, so I took this pic of the fabulous peonies I got a few days ago.
Then hubby and I decided to have a photo shoot in the bathroom. I absolutely adore him and am extremely blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life.
I started going back to church last week. I must say, it's been an incredible thing being back. It's opening my eyes to changes I need to make, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It's opened my eyes to just how blessed and how good I have it. And much more appreciative.

Recently...
I turned 28. I'm officially in my late 20's.
Went to Kauai for my bday/honeymoon. We had a fantastic time. Pics to come.
Came home to find that my parents lost my dog. It's been 3 weeks now and no sign of him. I'm depressed.
Work has been hellacious. I don't know we are so busy lately. All I know is that I'm exhausted after every shift.
My biological clock is ticking. Not really, but the the idea of having a baby is heavily on my mind. It's not because everyone around me is having a baby. I think I'm just ready. Next year...
Hopefully I'll be taking the CCRN by October of this year. It's about time to get on it.
And as much as I hate to say this, and really don't want to do it...I'm seriously considering pursuing my Masters now. BLAH! ha.
Randomness...done!
