Long time no post...
So it's been awhile. Life's been crazy. My little brother has been diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.. and while that's not a terminal illness, it is chronic. And he's SIXTEEN. He's been sleeping in the living room every night because he either can't sleep laying down or isn't supposed to. He's on medicine, but he still doesn't feel top notch. They've been trying to go see this specialist at a Mayo clinic in MN, but they got denied. So now they're trying to go to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston... but they have no appointment. So we'll see how/when that all works out.
Anyway, Aaron and I actually got to spend last weekend together. It was sooo nice.. We went downtown and walked around all the little shops.. We even got some Christmas shopping done. (It's never too early to start.) Then we had a romantic lunch at Olive Garden and stayed in cuddling and watching movies all night. =) And we went to The Home Place on Sunday after church.
School is good. I have a 99.5 average in Pharmacology, a 95 avg. in Foundations of Nursing, and a 92 in Skills.. Not counting pop quizzes. I still get a little frustrated at the time they spend on things I totally comprehend. But I guess there's not a lot I can do about that.
Aaron just started working PT at Citizens. Friday was supposed to be our first day to work together, but it's homecoming and I asked for coverage so we could go. That should be fun. I know Drew's going, and I'm hoping I can get back in touch with Vanessa. I lost her phone number when I got a new phone.
Actually, I think homecoming will be more interesting than fun. You see, somebody took it upon themselves to find my journal and share it with several people I know from high school... So much that drunk people come up to me at concerts and talk to me about it.
I talked to Amy from Day Nursery the other day... We (she, Vanessa from DN, and I) had decided to try to get together and do things on the weekends when Aaron was at work. I talk to Vanessa more than I do her because she's not as busy (and she's been dating an AFD fireman and I wanted the scoop) and so I think Amy was feeling a little left out of the loop. I feel bad... but it's really hard to just stop and hang out. School has been crazy... and it took a month for me to get a weekend with just my husband. Anyway, I don't really know what to do about it. I told her we'd do something Sunday, since Aaron works. We'll just have to see what's going on.
My two close friends from nursing school are old enough to be my mother. Not that I think they're, like, ancient or anything.. it's just weird because I'm not a free college kid who can stay up partying until 3AM and still make good grades, but I'm not a stay-at-home mom or a single parent and I haven't been a wife very long. I just don't really fit. And the things that I struggle with are things that are things they have down, and the things that I have no problem with are things that they have the hardest time with. I don't think we're going fast enough in Pharmacology, and poor Elsie was in tears she was so frustrated. It took Mary a long time to finally get where she could study the chapters and do well on the tests. It makes it really hard because when they stop talking.. what do you say? There's not a lot you can say. I'm thinking about getting Elsie a card or something.. she said maybe 5 words all day.
Alright, well I'm off to find the husband.
