Well this week was my first week on my own, Monday was great! I even went home early...Doesn't happen very often in Nursing as well all know. Wednesday was a little bit rough, but I managed and yesterday was a good day. I had full case load yesterday and I even restarted my first IV all by myself, no preceptor or assistance from anyone. I was really nervous Monday but, after I did was done I realized that I can do this. Wednesday had me rethinking my career choice and Friday sealed the deal, I'm not going anywhere. I now know that I am going to have good days and some bad days, its all in how I manage myself, time and attitude. The better attitude I keep the better day I am going to have! So here's to staying strong!

My dear friend Petey
Please come home!
Today, Petey got out of the house...I feel so guilty, responsible and upset! I was trying to take a box out front so I opened the door before hand and as I turned to go out the front door I must have spooked him somehow because he flew out with me right over my head. I didnt realize it until I thought I had heard him wither by.
I hope he comes back, its now dark time and he's never even been out before let alone at night time. I tried everything, but because he is so shy, skidish he wont come to anyone, even me. It happened around 1115 this morning. I kept at it all day. Called the Fire Department, they came out and offered help but I said its okay you can do I dont know what to do anyways. (Later on, they came back on their own without me asking...although I did call the station there was no response) I thought that was really nice! All of my neighbors were really supportive and encouraging. My best friend Liane is coming to be with me because my boyfriend and family are in the Bay Area. Im just so frustrated because I feel so stupid about having done what I did. Very Preventable!
Anywho Ill keep you posted on the Petey situation.

Monday August 17th I am officially on my own! Not really freaking out any more...I was though, I know Ill be nervous right before the start of the shift, I know that there is enough help available to me if I need it and I take comfort in that. I will be moving into the Pediatric part of the unit starting this winter! So exciting to be able to have my dream job; and be a pivotal part in the development of the unit. Everything is going great at work. I just had my graduation from my New Graduate Residency yesterday which my oh so loving and caring family graciously attended. I had a nice time visiting with them, I hope they did too!

My boyfriend is moving out and on his own! He has been living with me for the last 4 months and learning what all is involved in managing a place of his own, but the commute for him from Fresno to Bakersfield and back is too long and too much on him! So he is going to get a place of his own and be closer to work and put more energy into it. Itll be good for him, it was what I had wanted anyways if I am to marry him- at some point dont know when though- just waiting on the ring :)

I know I havent had a chance to update my life in looooooooonnnnnnnggggg time but its been busy so thats good reason. Anywho I also wanted to say that I have learned so much in the last month I feel like I have really matured; even though today I was a blubberin mess! but I am learning to appreciate what an adult/parent endures everyday. I know that 6 months ago I was not here mentally. It feels good but I really liked the easier times. I know that God has great plans for me but these times that there is so much mental anguish and strife are very trying and I know that my hindsight will make it easier to bear the next set of trials that I have to endure.
Next Topic: today while I was going to check on Petey I witnessed a domestic disturbance/child custody dispute so I called the Police because I knew that they should be involved. I wont enumerate the details but I can say that I had a long day and am ready for it to be over.
Miss you Petey, Please come home!
