Preparations

I am getting up and around after working the last couple of nights. Today I have to make out my menu for the next week and do all of the grocery shopping for the meals, including Thanksgiving preparations. I am making our dinner on Tuesday afternoon, and then my mom is making a big dinner on Thursday. I am picking up an extra shift this week to get in some holiday pay, so I will be working Wednesday in addition to my Friday and Saturday.

I talked with a friend at work who also works at another facility because I am interested in applying there. He told me they should be opening up a position soon so I am going to keep my eye on their website so that I can apply for it. It is a per diem position that pays a LOT better than I'm getting now, and it's less work! Always good. I am ready for something a little less involved than my ICU. I've been there for 3 1/2 years now and I figure it's time to get out of my comfort bubble and branch out.

As for my little one...he has been quite cranky these last few days and seems to be boycotting naps. I have to sweet talk him to just take one! Thankfully he is still sleeping fine at night though. All I can think is that it is teething, but I thought it would get better after they broke through the gums. Hmmm...
