So once again the beginning of this year/end of last year proved to be a challenge to sit down and actually update this thing. I guess I could have made it a New Year's resolution to at least type something weekly, but that usually makes it worse when I do something like that. I figure that once I get finished with school I will be able to sit down and do this more often...however on the other hand I may not have anything to write about since I won't be quite so busy :o) So lets recap since the last post:
November:
To grandmother's house we go - in Chicago - mom, dad, Alissa, & myself all hopped in the car the day of Thanksgiving and went and spend a few days with Grandma & Grandpa Donnelly. Nothing too spectacular but it was nice to get away for a few days and see some family that we don't see very often. I also started my new job back in the hospital and it was much harder to get back into the routine than I expected!
December:
The month around Christmas is always crazy crazy crazy! Work was crazy busy and I had to work Christmas eve, luckily that day we sent most of our patients home and I got to leave about 4 pm. Which is a darn good thing because we were predicted to get a TON of snow and in Overland Park it hadn't started to do much, but by the time I got to mom and dad's house it was already sleeting wildly and the snow had begun to fall. Had I not got to leave when I did I am not sure I would have made it home at all. When we woke up Christmas morning we had several inches of snow and the roads were closed in OK so unfortunately we had to wait until about noon to head down to see Grandma & Grandpa Mueggenborg! I had to work the Sunday after Christmas as well so it was a short trip for me to OK but it was still wonderful as always! I love being able to see most of the family when we go down there.
January:
So I also had to work New Year's Eve, but still managed to have a game night with Alex, Bekah, & Kodi at Alex's house. As always we had a great time just hanging out. Alex made chocolate fondue and frozen pizza and I brought queso - so of course that's all we need to have a good time: a deck of cards, the 4 of us, & food! Work is still going and I have just been released out on my own. I am a little terrified as I still don't quite feel like I have my footing under me, but I have wonderful co-workers who are tons of help!
February:
Well work is going well - I have had lots of crazy experiences over the last few months and things are starting to get easier and feel a little more comfortable. As for the rest of life - my bathtub had been leaking for awhile and by the time I had a plumber come out and look at it, it was too late much to my dismay. I apparently have a washer-less faucet (who knew?) and had I called sooner it wouldn't have been quite so bad, but they ended up having to sweat in a new shower valve into the pipes after cutting a hole in my wall to get to them. No big deal right....yeah right $900 RIGHT! So I went home that day because I also had a horrible cold and strep and for Alissa's bball tournament that weekend. When I came home Sunday for work I showered in my other bathroom because all my stuff was already in there and I didn't feel like moving it. I also had to work Monday and was so excited to shower with my new facet - it was great until I walked to the top of the steps and heard...drip drip drip....yes the shower had leaked the whole time the water was running right into my living room creating an indoor pool! I immediately called the plumbing company and made sure they came and fixed it! So now here we are at the end of February - all caught up - and I am waiting on the general contractor to come fix my ceiling and to have another company come clean my carpets.
March:
TBD!
That's all for one night - maybe there will be an update before 3 months this time!
