This week...live from Shawnee, Oklahoma.....

It's been a good week here in Shawnee, well what little time I was here. Still not too happy about some of the aspects of my little home but I need to be more positive:) Besides when I leave today I am gonna take Jack to Trevor's and spray the heck out everywhere in here for bugs(:
I get really bored on my days off because Trevor is never off (he's either sleeping, playing or working). I worked three days this week and I really like my job. I pulled three sheaths this week. ( If you dont know what that is, you might not want to know. Let's just say if they are not done properly, the patient bleeds to death) I miss the people I worked with at St Luke's but not some of the hassles. I feel like I'm busy at Baptist but not so busy I can't get to know my patients and co-workers. I also feel like the system is set up to be more user-friendly. Not to knock St Luke's-- it was definitely the experience. I just feel like Baptist is more fun and a better "fit." Enough of my ramblings. I will get the "summer fest" picture tour of my summer up probably when I get my digital camera back. I am glad that Trevor has retrieved most of my pictures from my dead computer ( my computer will be reborn as soon as I get a new hard drive Trevor says). I also have to give a shout out to Mark for all the help and company last weekend.
Here's my top ten looking at going into next week: (not in any particular order)

  1. Getting to work at a place where I feel like a good nurse ( most of the time).
  2. Mark coming to visit last weekend.
  3. Getting to spend time with Julie and Chris.
  4. Hopefully getting new scrubs this week, good-bye to teal scrubs every day ( and good riddance)
  5. Finished my audiobook Second Touch, a fictional story about lepers during the days of Jesus. It brings up an interesting allegory of how sin compares to leprosy. (not in the way you think either)
  6. Driving to Tulsa this weekend to see Jennifer and Tacee.
  7. Going mall shopping.
  8. Going to Bath and Body Works.
  9. Watching Trevor act like he is drunk from sleep deprivation ( he really should be involved in a study or something on that topic) and then sleep on my floor.
  10. Renting movies on my MVP pass.

* I know I am so boring but this list was fun. If you live in Shawnee, or just think I should get a life, come by, visit, give me ideas. Well as long as it is not Star Wars collecting or OU football. No thanks.

More to come...

Well I am mostly settled, can't wait to be completely settled so I can relax when I get home. Missing some door knobs, etc still. If I haven't talked to you in a while, I am sorry, I really have been so busy. I have been going to orientation and I will start working on the floor next week. God has provided so well for the months surrounding this move.I think I will enjoy my job. I love going to Calvary(My new church family), also but I am still finding my niche.
Interesting thing, this week Trev and I are on almost exclusively vegan diet. So far we feel good but a little, um gastric disturbance (: I feel hungry all the time so I really have to keep eating snacks ( we said few breads this week too). I am planning to get all my pics ready so I do a summer pic fest all at once. I know you can't wait....
