Old Habits

Seems I've fallen into old blogging habits... sorry about that!

The last few weeks have found me busying myself around the house mostly. I've textured and painted a hall and a bathroom, changed lights fixtures, helped my dad finish a deck, etc., etc., etc. It's been good and it all needs to be done, but it's exhausting!! I'm especially excited about my beautiful new deck (thanks dad!!) and can't wait until it's not 105 one day so I can enjoy it!


Life has been many things lately... blah, stressful, anticlimactic, frustrating, lonely, tedious. Don't get me wrong. It hasn't really been bad, but good isn't a word I'd use either. It's truly a time when I just... am.

Work is a maniacal mess. The hospital is in the widow for a visit from the Joint Commission, so we're all suffering. That's not an exaggeration. Daily there are new things we're supposed to do and check and follow through with in addition to our paperwork, billing, authorizations, report writing, and... oh yeah... actually seeing patients. And we're supposed to do it all without an ounce of overtime. My view is that if you're been doing your job correctly all along, you don't need to panic. All the same, it's not been the most pleasant few weeks. If I didn't have to stay 'til January to be fully vested in my retirement matching....

Personally, I seem to be between cycles of friends right now and that makes me sad. I miss the way things used to be and having plans on the weekends. It's been great for my productivity though!! It doesn't help matters to be between churches as well. Well, not really between churches so much as not going at all. I intend to start looking again soon, but right now I need a break. It's just so hard to find what I need, and I'm so tired of churches ignoring us! But not that soapbox again... I just desperately miss connecting with people and being a part of something, not to mention having things to look forward to.

So... yeah. That's life right now. See why I haven't felt the need to update??

Until next time.
