Things I have learned in the past few weeks.....

It is extremely stressful to make a life changing decision.  But, once it is done, and the adrenalin smooths out, it's all good.

Having an adolescent cat (about 9 months) is like having a child, prolly a toddler.  But, they have unconditional luv for you, and that is a treasure.

Changing from country to modern (furniture, decorating, etc.) is a good way to really let loose of your past.  No more quilts or cross-stich!

Yesterday, Juan, the drug rep, brought us lunch from Panera bread company.  It was great.  One of my favorite places.   We had soup, sandwiches, salad, French bread, and cookies for desert.  Simple, but very nice.  So, after work, everyone split up the leftovers.  I ended up taking home a loaf of french bread.  Absolutely wonderful fresh, poopy one day old.  More soon...

Friday, the mysterious day of the week that everyone looks forward to.  Working full time has made me appreciate this day of the week so much more.  And really hate Mondays.  So, this particular Friday I will do whatever I like and enjoy!  Ya, I know....I will be gaming with my buds.  And drinking some wine.  It's all good!

The date for the LAN has finally been announced.   Now I have to figure out how to get the time off from work to be there.  My new manager is not making friends and influencing people.  She's cancelled all time off for August.  She's making changes that we are not tolerating well.  Or even paying attention to.  She is not respected or liked.  And a few very important nurses are talking about leaving.  It's bad.  I just try to go with the flow, but everybody else's mood is affecting me.  I am the one that everybody trusts, so I hear it all.  And there is a LOT to hear.  Enuf of that.

The meeting yesterday morning was supposed to be routine.  Well, for the most part, it was.  But, sheerly by coincidence, we are opening our new Cancer Center in August, and will be moving then.  Soooo, no time off will be granted in August.  WTF?  Don't they care that I have a LAN to go to?  And not just Sat, either.  I want it all!  Thursday thru Sunday.  Thursday is a great party night where you can get to meet and have a drink with 'friends you've never met'.  I will be there if I have to, well, whatever I have to do.  I will have to come up with diseases that are appropriate for taking
