What a busy, busy past week I have had. I had a whole big 'to-do' list that needed to be completed before the start of school. It all started with purging my house; getting rid of all the stuff we don't need or haven't used since we have moved into the apartment. Before you knew it, furniture was rearranged, all the laundry was completed and the house was cleaned. Sigh, but somehow, my house once again looks like it was never even touched... The laundry has yet to be put away and the purged items are still sitting by the front door waiting for their ride to good-will.
Getting sick, on the other hand, was not on the 'to-do' list. The day following the big clean-up, I really felt like poo. Turns out, I had a sinus infection and after getting some meds and a good 14 hour sleep, I felt good by Sunday. Just in time for school.
On Friday, I had my nursing orientation. Lots of information but all very exciting and new. This first month or so will be an experience, to say the least. Thankfully, all of the faculty seem really nice and slightly understanding to our learning curve. But I won't say there might not be some tears along the way.
After work Friday night, Cory and I went out to Wisconsin for his grandmother's 75th birthday. I wish they lived closer because I love them and very much enjoy spending time with the Unterschuetz family, I feel at home with them. The day was filled with great food and conversation, and me trying to hide the fact that I had no sleep and was not feeling well. It only took all of 10 minutes on our drive home for me to pass out which started the first couple hours of my 14 hour night sleep.
Sunday was filled with more 'to-do' lists: cleaning my car out! I really LOVE doing this (sarcasm). I went up to my dad's house, got an oil change, car wash, vacuum, and some good, good food. My dad my his awesome BBQ chicken and potatoes in tin foil. "Yum, yum, love on a plate," is what I said just before I dove in. After spending quality time with dad, I went to my mom's to visit with grandma, Joseph and mom. Had to get everyone in before school stated.
Lastly, school started today! It was a pretty mellow today, but I think the hardest is yet to come with pharmacology and pathophysiology later this week. One day at a time, one day at a time.
