Almost a year later....
How different my life is from a year ago!
I think back on what it was like a year ago and I am SO much happier now than I was a year ago. I am happy to report that I rarely think of my ex and when I do its not with anything but question about something at the house or some bill I got in the mail.
I do miss my old house though...terribly. With spring coming up I want to see the flowers that I planted and to play in the dirt. I want to sit outside on the patio that I never had a chance to really enjoy...to sit on the patio furniture MY parents bought us as a wedding present. I miss the quiet of the house and the solitude of curling up on the couch with a good book. As I think back on it, I did live with Chris, but I was so alone...a lot of the time. I actually enjoyed it and I miss that now. I miss having a space that is mine the most though, which is why I miss the house. I love my parents to pieces, but they constantly have the TV or the vacuum running. Joe too is the same way...always has the TV on when he gets home from work. I miss quiet...
I do get plenty of opportunity for quiet before Joe gets home, so its nice. I like having the chance to clear my head and listen to the sounds of the house settling. I'll admit though...that having the quiet leads me to a nap some of the time.
School is winding its way down to the end as well. I can't believe I've made it! Despite all of the crap that I've been through I've done it and done it well! I owe a debt of gratitude to my study group for keeping me on my toes in theory. We are all taking a trip to Florida the week after pinning!
I have grown so much as nurse in the past year, that I often surprise myself with all that I know. There is a TON of things I don't know too. I am so proud of myself having successfully managed a case load of 5 patients on the floor that I am currently on and to have done it with ease really. Yes it was busy and at time hectic...but I did it! I took the load of patients that the nurses on the floor take...whew! I manage to suprise myself with all that I can handle on a daily basis. Only 2 more weeks left!!!
My love life is fantastic! Next week will be a year from a our 1st date! Things are going great. I do wonder though...if he'll ask one of the big question's soon? Only time will tell, I am not anxious to push either issue, but I do wonder about it.
In the next few months, my life will change tremendously and I embrace what lies ahead...I can't wait!

My new Milkshake
I have a new friend.
His name is Andy...but I call him Milkshake. Cuz he was singing "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard".
He's a first year nursing student and is in my clinicals, we have fun times at school.
I ran into him this weekend at an Adele concert, we had fun. His partner bought me a drink, we danced and laughed a ton. Why are gay guys so much fun? Every girl needs a few friends like Milkshake!

Weird...
I am have been feeling very strange lately. Maybe even borderline depressed and it sucks. I need to get out of this funk that I am in. I want to sleep all of the time and have no real desire to do anything but zone off. I am thinking it is partly due to the weather. I want to get outside and get some fresh air, take a walk or ride my bike. But in the past few weeks, it has been rainy, super cold or snowing...which makes it nearly impractical to do. I could suck it up and bundle up...but I am lazy and I really don't like being cold. I feel like such a lump. I have gained 5 or 6 pounds and am not finding the motivation that i need to get my butt in gear and try WW again. UGH...I need to get out of this FUNK!!!
Hopefully some warm weather will brighten my mood.

Why are farts so funny?
Seriously...as nasty as they can be, they are funny. Who floated an air biscuit? Dropped a bomb? Pooted? Oh no the covered wagon...is the worst. Dutch oven? Rofl...cracks me up just thinking about it.
I must say I giggle a little when people have audible one in public and they act all discrete like nothing happened. I mean seriously...you know we all heard it. It's a normal function...who cares. LOL. I love the human body and all of the funny things that it does.
I must admit however, the SBD's (silent but deadly) one's are the worst! Why are they the worst ones? The stinksiest...ugh gag me!

8 more weeks!
Until Graduation! I can't believe it. I am so excited to almost be done.
I am still nervous however, that I still feel lost sometimes. I feel like there is so much more that I feel I should know how to do at this point. I am praying that it all comes together in my last semester! Woo hoo!
