Whoa, sorry I haven't posted in ages. Things have been super busy at work and I've been super lazy at home and using FB to post little itty bitty things. In any case, I just turned 32 yesterday and we got back from the FFRF convention. We spent Friday to Sunday there and it was amazing. We heard awesome speakers one of which was Ron Reagan. O_O Man oh man was he an excellent speaker. It was so crazy to be just feet away from Ronald Reagan's son!!!
I'll be posting pictures later when I'm not so lazy.
Work has been wild. Very wild and busy and apparently they have now blocked LJ so I can't update or get caught up there which was my primary catch-up place. Grrr. Must be my own fault, lol.
Um, writing... I am working on the 15000 word Nocturne bite eBook for the eHarlequin.com site and so far I have one chapter. Only 14000 words to go, lol! But it's really grabbing me and I'm really thinking it's going to go to the end. If anyone wants to read it and give me an opinion I'd be happy to mail it to you (read: desperate for opinion as I am an opinion whore!).
The combo of Abilify and Pristiq have put me into a normal place. I feel like a normal person and my down days are very few. Only usually right around my period. Which is late thank goodness. It was due to start the same day of the convention so I hoped and hoped for my birthday I could have a late period and I got my wish!!
Been having a religious crisis for about a year now. Not necessarily that I chose to believe. Just that I wasn't sure whether I was agnostic or full blow atheist. This convention cemented my place as an atheist and it really felt good. It took a load off my shoulders. This is not meant a poke to anyone who believes in God, BTW. You all know me. I feel everyone should believe what they want without any opinion from me.
Aaron is getting bigger and the more I work with him the less I believe there is a remote chance he is Autistic. I think I just was too lenient for fear of being too harsh. So far so good!
Halloween was fun! Dressed up as a sort-of naughty nurse and Jim was my patient. Took Aaron trick-or-treating and he liked that for about a block and was done, lol. Then Jim and I went out to the karaoke bar and sang karaoke, drank, and hang out with friends. I'll have to post those pictures too!
I decided to grow my hair out! I'm just tired of it being as short as it is, granted it's not THAT short. But I'll still get it trimmed and colored. I just have hit the 'I want longer hair' phase again and so I'm going to do it.
Work honestly is going great though. I feel so humbled and so excited by how people say I'm doing so well as charge nurse and I've had more than one person (including my boss) say that I would be first choice or first recommendation for a full-time charge position. It blows me away, guys. It gives me chills to think that I am really doing THAT good. I am so just... wow. I am only trying to do the best job I can and learn and learn and learn and so to have someone say these things to me is just crazy and wonderful.
Also started writing to penpals and that is so exciting! I love writing on paper and the two gals I've written to so far I really feel a great connection to. XD
Crap. I can't think of anything else. But I will! And I'll post again. It'll be a giant picture post. I hope all of you are well and I'm so sorry I'm so behind and haven't been paying attention to what's going on with you guys.
