Back to School

So, huh. It'll be October in just a few hours and just today I realized that it's been several months since I've posted. The summer flew by and I'm still wondering where it went, even though I know the answer to that question, anyway.

My absence initially coincided with the flurry that was summer semester, the eight weeks of chaining myself to a widely varied number of nursing textbooks. Summer classes ended in early August so I began my "summer vacation" later than everyone else in the house. Now it's time to prepare myself for the grind that will be the remainder of my Associates Degree in Nursing program. I'm anxious to get started but also wary of what I'll become once classes begin. This summer was lost to the books. I spent easily 5-6 hours a day studying, sandwiched in between hour-long jaunts to my parents' pool to cool off with the kids.

So, now it's time to gear up for October 20, when I start the remainder of my Associates Degree in Nursing program. Finally. The air is beginning to feel crisp at predictable times of day so I know it's time and I feel expectant but nervous. Time to dust off the backpack, gather my supplies and make sure the clinical uniforms are in good shape.

It's time to get back to work, thank goodness.

Lots o' stuff to do this week and next. I looked at the calendar this morning and fourteen gazillion expletives milled around in my brain, jockeying for right of way in my mouth. I have ten, TEN, days to be done with just about everything I have to accomplish before Christmas, which if you know me, means that for every task I have to complete, there are 3 excuses to procrastinate. (I was valedictorian of my graduating class at Better Late Than Never University.) So, while talking to my sister, I decided to jot down a list of things to procrastinate  accomplish in the next TEN DAYS. 1) Finish Christmas shopping. 2) Wrap gifts. 3) Get cards finished and mailed. 4) Shop for remaining items for the Labor Party* 5) Write a gazillion blog posts. 6) Whine, because I have a sinus infection. Like I need that. 7) Pack for Operation Kick Cancer's Ass You know, the usual. Now that it's all written, maybe I should make an effort to work on some of it? Stay tuned, I'll le...

Now this is just silly

Good day at work...which is special considering that work has been extremely stressful lately. But today was a good day. Tomorrow I shall blog about finally achieving an item on My List...you know, the list of things I've always wanted to accomplish if given a chance.
