Wow... it has been an extremely long time since I have written in here. I don't even know where to start.
I guess the wedding since it has overtaken my life. Things are actually going really well. I had trouble picking a photographer, but that's only because the one I thought I really wanted was already booked for the date next year. Crazy. When I contacted her, the wedding was still over a year away. Oh well. It worked out in the end because I have a photographer now. Coincidentally, she goes to my church. We found this out after I called her to meet her. Her pictures are amazing. I have a reception site. Although I still have to talk to my mom and get her guest list because I need to know if the room I want will be big enough. (Reminder to self: must do that today). Next on my list is finding a DJ. I'll try working on that in this next month. Chris is annoying me because he won't tell me how many groomsman he is going to have. He keeps telling me not to worry because if he has to get them off the street, he'll have the same number of groomsman as I do bridesmaids. Annoying.
Americn Idol. So Carrie won. Somehow I knew she would win. When she was in the top 24 and they split the groups by gender, I just knew she was going to win. She has stayed consistant throughout the show with a few minor bad songs in there. I'm glad she won. When watched them announce her name, I don't really know how she felt, but it had to be an amazing feeling. I wish all the winners could sing "A Moment Like This" because that really is the perfect song for the show.
Work. Hmmm. I haven't really been looking for another job in the hospital, but God was looking over me. I have recently been put on blood pressure medicine. My retina specialist and my regular doctor think that my job is stressing me out too much. I have denied it since December when I got that subretinal bleed, but a couple weeks ago, I had to believe it. I was not feeling good at work one day so one of the nurses took my blood pressure. It was 170/102, which might not mean a whole lot to many of you. Anyhow, I had to wear a continuous blood pressure monitor for 24 hours last week, and it showed that during my working hours my blood pressure - almost every time it took a 30 minute blood pressure reading - was almost consistantly almost 140/80. The hours that I was not at work, my blood pressure averaged like 120/60. Is that not crazy. So my GP put my on BP medicine to help me while I'm at work. So to my point... on Thursday, I was contacted by the Nuclear Med department. They have an opening for an Exercise Physiologist to do their stress testing for them. The pay would almost be exactly the same, which would be awesome. and I wouldn't have to work holidays. Only a weekend now and then. And, I wouldn't be around all these sick patients who had heart surgery all the time. The thing about my job now is that I worry too much about the patients because most of them are really sick. Besides the fact that they are, like 80 years old, they just had heart surgery, they have diabetes, chrones disease, arthritis, you name it, they probably have it. So it makes their recovery process 100x harder than somebody who is about 50 years old and fairly healthy otherwise.
This is a pretty long entry. If you made it this far, I'm pretty impressed. Long weekend for me, which I am grateful for.
