Right now I am…

tired

My dear neighbors volunteered to help me clear out my rather long driveway, and we also cleared out the hardened, iced-down snow that the plows left at the edges of my driveway.

I’m glad it’s done now, but my GOODNESS, it was so much work. The thick layer of ice on top of the snow makes it very difficult to make quick headway.

At any rate, my Civic is dug out now, but I’m still gonna opt to drive my van until things are more back to normal. No sense in using my nice car at the moment!

a little nervous

…about how today is gonna go. Unfortunately, I did do a whole-body workout early yesterday morning because I didn’t know we were going to de-ice/de-snow my driveway.

Soooo, my body is sore, which means I’m thinking my shift today (and and also Tuesday and Wednesday) might be a bit of a challenge.

happy

that my current BSN class is not feeling nearly as horrible as the last one.

I started having crash-outs in week one of that class! But I’m in week two of this one, and I haven’t felt remotely close to crashing out. WHEW.

a little discouraged

about how many more classes I have to take. I feel kind of tired of being in school, and I know I should be done in about a year, but still…this program goes straight through the summer, which means I don’t have any breaks until I graduate.

I know I will get through it, one day at a time, one class at a time. And I know I’ve been through so many semesters already…if I look at the big picture, I know I’m almost there.

But you know, sometimes you get a little tired when you’re close to the finish line. All those previous miles catch up with you!

slightly wealthier

I just checked, and my pay raise came through! It’s only about an extra $38 a week, but I am not going to say no to more pay.

That’s almost $2000 over the course of a year, which is not nothing. 😉

relieved

that I didn’t catch Covid.

One of my patients last week was sick with it, so of course I had to put on all the personal protective equipment each time I went in the room, which makes for rather unpleasant nursing.

But it appears to have been effective, because I am solidly not-sick, and I’m thankful for that!

unprepared

Normally I do a pretty good job of prepping for a string of shifts, but I dropped the ball a bit this time.

Which is why we are having a “right now” post today instead of something more in-depth.

Anyway, keep your expectations low for the next few days. Ha.

And now I need to go cook some eggs, make some coffee, and pack my lunch!
