So, I've been thinking...

Which we all know is generally frowned upon and gets me nowhere...

Anyway, I kept thinking "as soon as I can get my act together and be consistent..." and "as soon as life calms down..." and " as soon as I have something relevant and inspiring to say..."

...Well you get the idea.  I've wanted to restart blogging for quite awhile.  I so often have a ton of stuff in my head that takes up too much space and, frankly, it helps me to write it all out.  So here I am, sitting here in my pj's, gearing up for a nap (nightshift, y'all, don't get judgy), and fighting off a raging cold.  I decided to just put it all out there (briefly, for now) and just...start.  I have no illusions that I'll be consistent (though I'm hoping I will) but I do think it may help my brain to be a bit more organized.

I also kind of hope that somewhere out there in the interwebz someone will say "yeah...I feel/think/hurt/am happy/am sad/agree/identify with that too!"  I can't be the ONLY weirdo can I??

So here are the bullet points that I will elaborate on later (nap time remember?):

  • I am now permanent nights...which I love for the most part but sometimes I have trouble not being lazy about it.
  • We are moving in less than a week.  Not far but moving still sucks!  I have not been holding up my side of the bargain and T is getting annoyed.  He's done most of the work.
  • I have taken on the job of Clinical Instructor and that's taken up a lot of time this month.  I love it but the schedule was not something to write home about.
  • I also applied for a per diem pediatric/PICU RN position...because, well, I'm not really BUSY, right?
  • Then there is the ever present desire to lose weight while continuing to eat crap.  I know better but I'm not sure I can do better.  I'm disappointed in myself.
  • Along the lines of feeling disappointed in (aka sorry for) myself, I am supposed to be marathon training. Just over 2 months until the race and I am way behind on where I should be. 
So there it is.  Not feeling very funny or entertaining this morning.  Just sad and tired and discouraged and real.  I thought about looking for an inspirational meme or funny picture but I just don't have the energy today.

This is my new start.  I hope you'll come along for the ride.
