I believe there is hope beneath it all...
Rest
I'm finally well-rested! I requested the day off from work Sunday just so I could rest. I've had two nights in a row of good sleep. I was exhausted from a busy weekend. I had been running errands, working, and helping set up for Jenn's birthday party.
Career outlook
I know I don't work that much, but there is something about working nights that isn't working for me anymore. I love being a critical care nurse and I'm thankful to have a great job, but I'm feeling a nudge to try something new. I've always been the type of person who always likes to try and learn new things. I'm not sure what I want to pursue yet (it's been a challenge to narrow it down at the moment), but I'm open to any interesting new opportunities. Some job preferences I hope to find include: full-time, day shift, 8 or 10 hour shifts, no weekends or one weekend a month, and flexible scheduling. I like flexibility, but I also want something with a more consistent, stable schedule. At the end of my work day, I want to be able to hang out with family/friends (like at dinner time), watch Laker games, watch my prime time shows, watch movies, workout, go night boarding, have the option to attend shows/concerts, and sleep on a normal schedule. May be that requires a nursing desk job? I guess I'll keep searching until I find something that fits my lifestyle more.
Truth
I've been hurt by someone recently. I realized that it only hurts as much as the story that you keep telling yourself. It only hurts when you dwell on the past you cannot change. I don't see myself as a victim of lies. I rejoice because I found out the truth. The truth has allowed me to look at my life clearly and move past this lost feeling. It has given me the clarity to make decisions I used to be stuck on. I accept reality for what it is at this exact moment. I'm fortunate to have extremely supportive close friends that care about me. I just want to thank my family and friends for are always being there for me, especially to listen and offer any support. It means a lot to me. Just know that even though I may not always share detailed stories, know that I will come to you when I need you. I choose to focus on the truth and what I have the power to change in my life right now, not the past or future. I feel good. No doubts. No fears. I believe there is hope beneath it all. Everything happens for a reason.
Incubus
I got tickets to the Incubus concert! I'm so excited to be going. I haven't seen them since 2001. I love Incubus. Their music is timeless and inspiring. Not to mention, I still love Brandon Boyd...haha.
Lakers
All right, so I haven't been able to stay on top of it all for various reasons. I was lucky to watch the Lakers Clippers game on tv because I didn't work Sunday. But, come playoff time, it's on for sure! I can't wait! I couldn't get round 1 playoff tickets, so I'm looking towards round 2 or ideally the finals. Let's go Lakers!
Europe
So my Ate Anne just came back from London/Paris on Sunday and now I really wish I went. As much as I wish I could have gone, it really wasn't the right time for me to go for many reasons. Going to Europe has been a die-hard life long dream for me. I just hope some of my friends and family will still want to explore Europe with me when I'm finally ready to go. Once I graduate with my BSN, nothing will be in my way from doing it, no excuses!
Hawaii
All right, so at least I'm going to Hawaii after I graduate. It was a more affordable trip. Plus it's after I graduate. I am definitely looking forward to finally getting away to somewhere tropical. I've been to Hawaii before. I won't be doing things as over the top as I did the 1st time around, like skydiving, but I know it will be unforgettable being able to share the experience with my nursing friends.
Twitter
I also joined twitter today. I'm trying it out. I guess I'm curious to know what people are doing. But isn't that what Facebook is for also? Oh well, it doesn't hurt to try.
