Long Week

This has felt like the longest week ever! Work was crazy all week, went to bingo with my grandma, quit at the hospital and went to dinner with some of my girlfriends from nursing school. And it's only thursday! But at least I get 3 day weekends. So after much deliberation I have decided to quit working at the hospital. Their are many reasons, but mostly I just didn't enjoy it anymore. Staffing issues and my boss leaving ...just made it not fun to be there anymore. I dreaded going in there everytime I had to work.
Plus I still had my moments when I would stare at rooms 4 and 5 and think of my great-aunt-Anner. I got to spend some time there with her in room 5 when she was in the ICU for a couple of weeks and we talked a lot about old times and everytime someone new would come in her room, she'd tell them that I was her little girl and that she loved me. She later passed away in room 4. Staring at those rooms brings back lots of memories and I get teary-eyed everytime. I loved that woman as if she were my own grandma! She did a lot for me growing up and taught me many things. I miss her terribly!
On another note....I got together with some girlfriends from nursing school and had dinner this week. The five of us had our own study group every sunday night. They were my moral support through that tough experience. We all became really close and after graduation I didn't see them that much. All my fault!!! Working nights in the hospital just killed me. I was either at work or sleeping. I never saw any of my friends and even my own mom. Now I work days monday thru thursday 6:30am-whenever we're done, usually around 3pm. It's a surgery center for ophthamalogists. I'm home every night and 3 day weekends are wonderful. I'm hoping now that I can see my friends more often and actually have a life.
Well I must go and give my puppy some attention now since i've been on the computer for awhile. Talk to y'all later.
