Missed Me?

Yeh, well, returning to work full-time has certainly reduced my leisure time. And working twelve hour shifts has certainly taking some getting used to. Last week I switched over to nights and tonight is my last shift on official orientation. I still have so much to learn and there are plenty of things that I haven't seen before that I will need assistance with.

Last weekend I officially moved in to my new apartment. Well, I'm not exactly moved INTO my apartment as there are boxes and piles of stuff that I need to find homes for. I still have flower pots outdoors and a few things in the garage at my previous location, but the homeowners are not chasing me out - yet. It's nice to be in my own place and allowed to decorate and organize as like. But I have too much stuff and yet it's hard to let go of perfectly good stuff knowing that ONE DAY I might want it!

Two weekends ago I flew to Michigan for the 20th highschool reunion for the school I attended through 9th grade. Since I was in touch with most of former classmates they invited me to attend even though I didn't graduate from there. It was really great to go back and catch up with those friends!  A week from tomorrow I will drive down to South Carolina to attend my actual 20th highschool reunion. I've been to SC within the past five years and have seen a few classmates during those visits, but I haven't seen the majority of my graduating class since our 15th-- which was before my trip to Liberia (I think). My night shift brain is kinda unreliable with that sort of information. While I'm looking forward to my SC trip, I will be glad to have my big travel plans and events (moving!) out of the way for a while. I'm ready for normal for a while.

I will eventually get around to writing about my orientation in a very general way. Eventually. Won't promise when! :)

Until next time.
