Saturday I had a lovely day. Drove to my friends' D&D; we went out for a yummy lunch at The Cactus Club and then D did my taxes....yeah I get a refund! Enough to pay for the P!NK tickets, fix the shower and hopefully the garburator and then a new laptop. Hopefully! HSad a nice visit with my guys, they mean so much to me.

Sunday I had a lazy morning and then drove home to have an early Easter dinner with my family. Unfortunately my nephews couldn't attend but my daughter brought her boyfriend G, who did well. I stayed the night, and came home this afternoon. Had a quick stop in to Classic Cards and found some lovely pink feathers! Then home for a nap. Then I went downstairs to the studio and made a couple of cards.

Tomorrow I get a new hairdo!!!


one of two cards I made this evening

  • Last nightshift and now six lovely days off! It's been a busy set; the floor is very heavy right now. More physical than emotional at times. Some sadness.
  • Getting my hair cut and coloured on Tuesday - can't wait; I have SO much gray! It's been over four months (before Christmas) and I think my hairdresser will not be happy! :-)
  • Looks like my daughter and D&D and I, will be going to the P!NK concert here in October. I have to stay up late this morning to try to get tickets online. So excited. Love her.
  • Celebrating Easter dinner with the family a week-end early, as I work the following week-end. (yeah for STAT pay). Dear daughter is bringing her boyfriend so that should be interesting!
  • Studying is coming along. I have read about four complete chapters in my textbook, and went through a fellow RN's binder of a week long intensive course she just recently attended. I took the pre test again and got 80%, so only up 4 marks from all that reading. Kind of bummed about that. I'm going to have to go through the modules again and finish the textbook and take the pre test AGAIN. I find so many answers possibilities that it's hard to choose the BEST one. I hear they mark the test on a bellcurve...what does that mean for me?
  • Ankle is really bothering me and I can't wait to get in to the pain clinic. Trying to keep my whining/complaining to a minimum! lol

I braved the pouring rain and made it to the UPS store, when I picked up my SU parcel! Oh the goodies...... I can't wait to play with you! Now I just need a friend to come visit and play with me!

I'm on my set of four days off, not enough, if you ask me. That fifth day off makes such a difference!

My student is doing all the work and needing me less and less. So I try to help out the floor as much as possible while still being a "shadow" to my student. I'm also getting some studying in. Lucky for me, I got to borrow NG's power points from the Victoria Hospice Medical Intensive course she recently attended; mostly good review. I hope to go through more this weekend and then pass it on to *K* so she can do some studying too.

Might get my taxes done this weekend! woo hoo. Pretty sure I'll get a refund; need to get the shower fixed and hopefully a new laptop!

And, I'd like to spend some time in the scrapbooking studio, playing with my new SU goodies! Unfortunately, the UPS man didn't drop off my parcel so I have to go find it at the local UPS outlet tomorrow. I'll try to take a picture of the goods when I get it.

  • Yesterday would have been my parents' 56th Wedding Anniversary. *heart*
  • Last shift, going well with my student. Less and less for me to do with her. Gives me time to study. I just actually finished Module 10, the Pediatric Palliative section in my binder so now it's time to go to the textbook and start reading it! oy.
  • Ankle really bothering me. I can't wait to get in to the pain clinic.
  • I spent some time reading back over the past few year's posts and boy do I complain a lot about being tired, being in pain, being stressed. Complain complain complain. Gotta change that attitude!
  • Looking forward to a delightful napping day tomorrow and then Tuesday I'm going to get my mom and bring her down for a few days. Not sure what we're doing other than going on a Costco shopping trip; I'm sure my mom will buy some toliet paper! lol
