Here I sit, awake past 4am. I have a persistent dry cough that won't stop the minute I reach the bed and for fear of waking up my partner (more than he probably already is) I decided to get out of bed and try everything and anything to relieve my sore throat and dry cough. I took a cold and flu pill, gargled salt water and am now drinking a no-name brand type neocitrin. Here's hoping I get knocked out in about 30 minutes and don't wake up again until late morning. I guess I'm calling in sick again today.. sigh. So why did I turn to my blog? I guess I haven't visited in a while, and though my visitors are few I thought I'd provide a little update. I recently made the transition from student nurse to graduate nurse and soon to be registered nurse. I still don't feel like a nurse even though I've been giving out flu shot's the past 3 weeks and have a name-tag that tells me who I am. I have applied to hundreds of jobs in my area and when I was most frustrated started applying to everywhere in the province. I got a job offer 5 1/2 hours away. My man made a great point last night that it would probably be a better idea to get a full time job where my parents live, even though it's 10 hours away, than take the casual position 5 1/2 hours away where I will have to pay for rent.. in addition to the rent I'm paying at my current place. hmmm... it is true. Why did I start applying to places far away where I know nobody instead of apply where I can live at home again and see many people I care about?? Well now the position starts next week and I'm not sure if it's too late but I will try his advice and apply. If I get a call immediately, well, I guess it was meant to be.
Life is sure funny that way. I'm still wary about fate and destiny and psychics and all that but sometimes I just wish I knew where I was headed so I could get a head start on my life. I've wanted to do so much more by the middle of November.. I pictured myself working as a full time nurse by now... but life doesn't always work out as planned. I wanted to start a 30 day challenge this month also.. 30 minutes of exercise a day. I thought it was simple and achievable but so far I've only done 30 minutes of exercise maybe 3 days in this month. I wanted to be a better friend and call/text/email more often. I wanted to be a better girlfriend and pay attention to his needs rather than complain about mine. I wanted to be better at saving money and getting myself out of debt but I have only fallen further. I want to have a baby.....one day. I want to get married.....one day. I want to see the world and bike across Canada....one day.
Today? What will I do today? Apply for more jobs. Email friends (though now email is even becoming ancient). Read a good book. Listen to good music. Take a walk outside... right now... go to bed.
Hopefully I won't be awake again for another 4 hours. Here's to hoping for the future.
