Snow blows
Yeah. Oh so thrilled about the snow thing.
The good news is I'm starting to rock the whole transit thing. Not like a hurricane or anything, but I know which staircase I want to walk up, and I know what end of the platform to stand on. I also know what days to get to the park and ride early if I want a seat on the first bus. The transit system is not quite my bitch, but it is fetching my slippers once in a while...
Other than that, work is work. I am starting to look into other lines of work. So far I'm keeping it in the nursing field, but I have to find something a little different. I'm just sick and tired of the same old bullshit everywhere I go. I don't know if another line will be any different, but at this point I want to try. Plus, I can still do per-diem work to keep my feet wet. This way if I don't like the new plan, I can fall back on the old one until I figure something else out. I really wish I knew what I want to be when I grow up...
Mom destroyed her back a couple of weeks ago. It's not back to where it should be at this point, and she is going to the doctor about it. The x-rays didn't show any breaks in her hip or tailbone {the hip is also causing her pain}, so it's off for an MRI next. I don't know what I hope it will find. If it's a herniated disc, I know she's not going to go for surgery. And I don't think I blame her. I know there is not a good success rate with the surgery, and she is allergic to many, many antibiotics. Keep you fingers crossed for her please.
Nothing on the dating front, but that's not really a surprise. I won't date people I work with, and I haven't really had much time to go out. I have been trying to pick up the slack a little around the house since mom isn't up do doing much of anything, and I am still not used to the new schedule. I spend about an hour and a half commuting each way, and I am working 5 days a week. 2 things I haven't had to do in a while. Well, I was working 5 days a week in Philly, but the commute was *much* shorter, and I was driving myself back and forth.
The good thing about taking the bus is I am getting caught up on my nursing journals. I have been getting 3 different ones mailed to the house for quite a while, and have not been reading any of them. Now I read every day going in and coming back from the city. I am learning a bit, although I don't know how much I will remember a couple of months from now. *l*
Hope all is well with all of you.
