me vs them

Jun 09, 2009

           Well here to catch you all up on what is the latest going on here. The part time job I was getting ready to start has now become my full time job. After being a nurse for 3 years, I am a REAL nurse. I pass out pills, give shots, lots of stress, etc...  There are days when I haven't got a clue as to what I am doing but I am learning more and more each day. The bad part is at over 300 lbs being on my feet 8+ hours is killing me.I am the only one working in the assisted living unit from 11pm to 5 am so I am the nurse and the aide. Its me vs them all night.  I go home and have problems sleeping because I hurt too bad.  I will be finding out more about their insurance after July 1. That is when I will be able to get on it. I am hoping it covers WLS even if I will have to wait a while before I have time I can take off to have it. I am trying not to get my hopes up.
          The new job means I have less time on the computer. So I don't get around to OH as much. I miss lurking on the R&R board.  I am working every weekend now until they hire someone to new. I also work PRN for my old job and will be training my replacement next week. OH BOY ! After that I will work when ever they need me and I am off from other job.Between the 2 jobs I have now worked 7 nights straight. I am tired and grumpy. At least I am off tomorrow.
        We have talked to Sarah's Dr about her recent major weight gain. and He doesn't seam to want to handle it. He is sure the reason is her medication, but with her moods being in a delicate balance he doesn't want to change anything. I am hoping she gets more physical this summer and maybe that will help her. Her recital is this weekend. I love her ballet outfit, she loves the hip-hop. Will try to put pictures on here when I have them taken.
        Andy just got back from spending 2 weeks in Ma with his girlfriend. She paid  for the ticket for him to fly to see her.  He arrived back home safe and sound covered with hickeys. He promised that he kept it in his pants. I told him I didn't want any grand kids yet. Not until he is done with school.
        Ben is on medication for ADD and depression. He is trying counseling to help him deal with the stresses in his life. I think it is a very good ideal. I see a counselor every other week. Hasn't helped much but maybe some day it will. Well so much for my boring life I must get some work done.
