Current Mood:  optimistic
It's been a VERY busy week around these parts. Major events and life changes that have definitely made my (easily-confused) head spin, but I think that every thing that has happened has been for the better.
First-
Left my job. Started working there 2/1/99, so it's what I'm used to. But I couldn't deal with the hospital and that kind of patient care for much longer. Plus all the cattiness of working with the group of women I was working with just wore me down. I'm not that way, I don't like those games, and it made work a crappier place to be. I have a new job lined up, working Monday-Friday, 8-5, at a doctor's office. I'll be the only RN there, and this is a HUGE change in schedule, work style, and ... well... I dunno. Just a big change, lol. Looking forward to it, but a little nervous at the same time.
Next-
Sold the house. I'm officially no longer a homeowner as of a few days ago. I honestly can't believe that I'm never going back there again. This whole moving thing is really for real. Not that I didn't know that already, but when you hand someone your key and know that their stuff will be in YOUR house that night... weird. Bought the place in early '98, so again- big change.
It continues-
Car stuff. Candy sold her sports car and bought a pickup (Toyota Tacoma, for those interested). It suits her much better, and suits our needs wayyyy better than the car. While we were test driving vehicles for her, we tried out the Toyota Prius. It's a hybrid that gets somewhere around 55mpg (51hwy, 61 city, I think). It's roomy inside, looks funky outside, has a *ton* of standard equipment, and has a 5 star safety rating. Oh, and did I mention the FABULOUS gas mileage? With her getting the truck, we were officially car-less, and that made me think seriously about getting that Prius. I wasn't completely sold on it, so I rented the only one we could get our hands on. The day I was supposed to return it, I got a call from an excited salesperson, who told me they'd sell the car to me that day if I wanted it. 2000 miles on the car, and in perfect condition. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. Buying car seat covers for it today (gotta dress it up somehow!). I'll miss the fun parts of having the Jeep Wrangler, but won't miss that 14mpg, the lower safety, or having less room. I still think I'll end up with a Jeep again one of these days- maybe an old one that we can abuse :-)
Side notes-
Andrea started a new school. She's liking it pretty well, but there was some adjusting to do, including bus confusion one afternoon that ended with Candy chasing the bus down in her new truck to retrieve the little boogerhead :-) School for me is the same- busy, but not mentally challenging. It's more of a time-consumption issue than anything else. Turned in a crap paper Monday night just because I was so tired that I couldn't put two words together. Usually, though, even my bad papers get decent grades. Candy's still working on that thesis of hers, and we will most certainly celebrate when that thing is complete :-)
OK, gonna pay attention to this sushi while it's fresh.... Hope everyone enjoys their weekend. |
