GM Tweety, Muffie, Er and all,

Just had lunch - one bowl of fish chowder this time. Ate breakfast early - oatmeal and coffee - and I'm bringing some frozen meals to work with me for the rest of the week's lunches.

Looks like a good start.

Have a good day, everyone!

I'm told I looked VERY nice. Didn't have to wear the Bean Boots after all, I wore these preppy looking flats. The roller blades will have to wait til I get better at it, don't want to be showing my bloomers!

Good morning everyone

I hope you are all doing well.....

For those of you that remember my problems at work.....I have now made it through five days without problems. They pulled the other nurse off my scheduled days to work, and that has made work more managable. I am so looking forward to getting home today. and yes ZOE that means I get to watch my bats again. It is so soothing to just sit outside, in the dark, and watch them swoop around.

er. I'm glad to hear things are working out for you.

I'm doing well. If I don't stay overtime today I'm going to the gym straight from work and seeing if that routine works for me, now that I'm on a Monday through Friday schedule.

Tweety....how are you liking the new schedule? I always thought going to curves on my way home would work, but all I can think of is getting to bed.

Hi all!

Angie - congrats on avoiding the chocolate bunnies - WooHoo!

Hi ER travel - sounds like work is going positive - WooHoo! Enjoy your bats, I think they are wonderful, wish we had some but they don't seem to like our area.

Blue - Hi, how's it going? Thanks - I am now officially done with first year Med/Surg - WooHoo!

Hey Tweety - did you get to go to the gym?

Muffie - sounds like you are doing good - congrats on the cheesecake - that is one of my weaknesses and I must stay miles away from the stuff, LOL!

Hello to anybody I missed.

I survived my final (got a "B", but I was ok with that, it was rough as I'm sure all of you know and/or remember) and I've been being good - I skipped our traditional post-test cheeseburger and had a salad instead - yeay! Now I'm off to fill my glass with water. :)

Have a great day y'all!

Tweety - Congrats on the MOn - Fri job! What are you doing now to have that sort of schedule? I am also M-F, but can't seem to pull off the gym thing after work. Before works for me, tho.

ER - woo hoo! Enjoy those bats! My personal favorite here is watching the buzzards. They are very social amongst their group and will often spend sime time in the morning and evening before perching for the night just flying around each other for the fun of it. They are so graceful and athletic! A bit ugly up close, but you can't tell when they are in flight. My SIL says God gave them red feathers on their head to disguise the blood they get on them. Since they are designed to clean up things most creatures won't touch, they need to look presentable once in a while and that's why they have red heads. Cute! I must say when they are here (they head to Mexico in winter) there are no dead carcasses anywhere around, very clean, and lots cheaper than paying someone to clean it all up!

Gotta run, still at work on a very very busy day.

6 days left 'til Vegas! :yeah:

Um, as to the buzzards - YUCK! They are cool in animated cartoon version but not on allnurses I guess! LOL!

I hope you have a great "vaca" Bluehair!
