Hey there... nothing new really going on. I finished orientation at work and am offically working by myself no more shadow! Thank god. I was just ready to be on my own. Peanut is doing well ... i have contacted a trainer about coming to my home to evaluate him and help me with some of his seperation anxiety. Hopefully it pans out and i get him feeling better. Other than that all is good... I love only working three days a week its like a vacation all the time! Hope all is well with everyone.\

Love and hugs

Its been a while... again... sorry

Hello there! Well I MOVED!!! It has been great to live closer to work and Joyaful. Peanut is begining to adjust.He has his own little room here with all this toya and so on, we covered the carpet with this plastic stuff in order to prevent damage while I am at work. He doesn't seem in love with the idea yet but I believe it is growing on him. The family came up a few days after I moved to help unpack and hang everything...it was like my own moving crew! They had everything up in like 3-4 hours. Since then it has felt like a real home. My parents found a great new kitchen table for me and brought it up last weekend and it all has come together really nicely. My landlord has been awesome as well, a little welcome basket when i moved and really attentive to myself and peanut( he ever plowed a grass area for peanut after the big storm). Joy and I have been catching up on lost time. We are bachelor fanatics again... i look forward to it weekly! We have also talking about joining a knitting group, i had tried knitting before but sucked at it so we will see.

Work has been interesting...I am so excited to be done orientation and to be able to do things my way again. I don't seem to mesh as well with some of the girls here as i did in green bay but we will see. Today was interesting for example...I was called to come in extra (30 minutes before they needed someone) and i said i would come in as long as i did not get a assignment that involved the couple i had yesterday as they father or the baby made me extremely uncomfortable ( as in security was called incase i needed them) the charge nurse told me she couldn't promise me that... so i told her i couldn't come in and take that chance then. Here is my question if you so desperately need help there would have to be a assignment that you could give me that would not involve caring for that couple! Oh well. I had a great couple the other day so like any job good days and not so good days:)

I will post some pics of the new place once it is a little cleaner and more put together...still doing some touch ups here and there. Thats all for now!

Wow-wee

So Im a bit behind! New years... I worked and them went out in NH with joy for dinner:) Yummy chinese food that is right near where I will be moving! Speaking of moving... I will be moving to NH THIS WEEK!! I am SOOOOOO excited to stop commuting to work. I will miss being around all the family... its nice having people aorund. I think Peanut will miss everyone even more than I will. He has grown quite attached for everyone and is so good with the family... we will have to visit pretty often. Still looking for some furniture for the new place...kitchen table, tv stand, chair for the office...covering stuff for teh floor in Peanuts room...yes I did say Peanuts room. While I am at work Peanut will have his own small room. All his toys his food and water and a potty pad will be in the room. This way when I work 12 hrs he has some space and can eat drink and use the restroom:)It was an extra small sace anyway bc i already have 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and a living room. Work is going well...feeling a little more comfortable every day. It def will take sometime before i feel i know exactly what I am doing. All is well...

Christmas:)

I hope you all had just as great of a Christmas as I had! I must say its odd to have all these holidays off!! YAY for orientation bc this will prob never happen again! Christmas eve was spent at my aunts house and was a great time...we always do a traditional Italian fish meal and it was yummy. Christmas was at our house this year and was a blast as well the last visitors left around 1030! Boy was Santa great to me! I got a keurig, some furniture for my new place and a bunch of other things.

I have picked an apt that I really like. Its like 25 minutes from work in strafford NH. Its kinda a rural street! But its not far away from shopping plazas and such and its about 15 minutes from joy probably? Peanut and I will have tons of space as its a 2+bedroom and it has a washer and dryer hook up! The carpeting is new its a second floor place. I will let u know when its official we are waiting for credit checks and such...I really feel good about all this and I finally feel like I'm moving forward which is amazing...time to let the past be the past...WELCOME 2010!!!:):)

Curls:)

Well its offical I had my hair trimmed and slightly permed. I didn't want crazy curls more of a wave or loose curls... I enjoy it:) Christmas shopping is done...just waiting on sarahs gift to come in the mail then I will sit down and get to wrapping everything!Peanut is doing well... he is very funny and loving lately and he still hates his snow shoes. I work the weekend and it looks like lots of snow so I will prob be leaving him at home with the family and staying with friends. SO excited for christmas! Happy holidays!

Shopping:)

Well...the Christmas shopping has begun. I must say I am FAR behind! I have no idea what Anthony will b getting this year!. Oh well... I will figure it out. We will be having Christmas at our house this year and if something good came out of my life turning upside down it definitely is that I have thanksgiving Christmas and new years off this year!!:) Christmas cookie baking with mom is underway and I am loving every minute of it. We are also planning a trip to see the play Wicked which is am SO excited about!!! Peanut is doing well...he has fallen in love with the family and is adjusting well to Caddy. The new job is interesting...those who know me know that I hate change so it definitely is a difficult adjustment but oh well. All is good:)

Work:)

Im sorry I have been slacking and have not posted in a while! Anyway...life has been busy (yay!)I worked Monday through Friday for hospital orientation which was very boring! Then I worked Sunday my first 12 hr shift which was pretty slow but that's okay:) The other nurses seem really nice and the floor is very nice. It seems much more relaxed then Bellin was...they dont have a certain time to do checks, they dontdraw their own labs...an so on. I love the parking situation it is so nice to park right outside the building. Once I have a local apt it will be nice bc I will be able to sleep in even longer! I also love that the position is straight days!! YAY!!so...so far so good! Peanut has been really good lately we are stuggling a little with our potty training again since we have snow but much better than last year I will just have to stay on top of it! We had our semi family reunion with my moms side of the family which went well...lots of people I didn't really remember but some great spiked egg nog!! I will definitly need that recipe! I made my christmas cards for this year and I am picking them up today and hopefully mailing them out tomorrow. Thats really all for now...ttyl
