So, I have had some problems adjusting to the new job, brutal work day, almost brutal drive to and from, and work, sleep, work, sleep schedule.  This is a HUGE hospital.  I don't even know how many beds, but it is actually 4 hospitals that are combined to make one big one.  And, sometimes, almost always, in fact, I am the only one on the IV team that is working that day.  We have one that is "fed up" and burning her sick time for 3 weeks now.  I doubt she's ever coming back cuz she is eligible for retirement.  We all, including management, believe she is just gone.  OK, can't replace her un

Is that a word?  I think so, but that's what is starting to happen in my life again.  Yay!  After more than 2 years of roller coaster rides, I think I have settled down to some kind of pattern.  I have moved 3 times.  Started a new relationship and ended the old.  Had 3 jobs, which I know cuz I have 3 W2 forms for my income tax this year.  Gained 10 lbs and lost 5.  I'm told it looks good on me. Got a new hairdo.  I now have shoulder length hair and wear pony tails sometimes.  Nice.   A helluva lot of not so drastic life changes going on, too.  That is all settling down.  Whew.  Didn't thin

I made it thru my "4 in a row" work week, which is physically and mentally challenging.  My job is so HARD!  But, I am good at what I do and getting better all the time.  The hard part is getting kicked out of patient's rooms, among other things.  They just don't like being stuck!  And, by the time I have been called, they have been stuck quite a few times and have nothing left.  Thus, I get kicked out, or at least get a scowl or "oh, no, it's you".  Sad.  I am only there to help.   I also walk the entire hospital complex several times a day, which we figure is at least 5 miles.  I am getti

A day off with no real plans!  Bonus!  Well, the plumber has come and gone.....yeh, brand new house and already having plumbing problems.  Unmentionable plumbing problems.  We have a cleaning crew come in once a month, and they are coming at 11:00 (soon) then the rest of the day is mine all mine!  What to do?  Well, it's not as if I don't have a million things on my list.  But, at least, I can work my way down that list today.

Vertigo has cleared up all except for the "hangover".  I continue to have dizziness when I move certain ways.  It's a PITA, but I live with it.
