Changes

Tonight I start night shift. I am excited and bummed at the same time. Excited because it is something new and something I've done before so I know I can do it...but bummed because I know the tired-ness and weird sleep and social schedules the go along with working nights. Luckily I will only be working 3 nights a week, but that's 3 nights a week that I don't get to sleep and have to be away from my husband. And my body really doesn't need the stress of a crazy sleep schedule. *Sigh* I know I'll be fine, the people I'll be working with are awesome, the "flow" on night shift is a lot lighter (fewer visitors, doctors, discharges, no meals, etc.) but that can also lead to boredom and sleeeeepy-ness...lol! We'll see how it goes! I guess instead of looking forward to the next morning I get to sleep in, now I'll be looking forward to the next NIGHT I get to sleep. Oy.

I am sorry I've been a blog slacker lately. Scott and I have been dealing with some personal issues this year and I haven't felt like blogging about it. I really don't know exactly who or how many people read this, so perhaps it wouldn't have mattered if I had spilled my heart out on here anyway, but I'm at the point where writing about it may be therapeutic for me so I may go ahead and share, plus it's MY blog I can write what I want!! I dunno, we'll see. Sorry if I'm being cryptic (is that the word?). We're fine, honest. Life just isn't all peaches and cream all the time.
