Relaxing Day
January 16, 2009
Well, I woke up this morning and decided that today would be a great day to take off of work. Considering the wind chill was -25 degrees where I live, the thought of trudging outside to get there was not appealing. What WAS appealing, was the thought of giving my neck/back a break for the next 4 days (we get MLK day off as a holiday). That thought sealed the deal for me so I e-mailed my boss this morning to let him know I wasn’t coming in! Yay!
So after that, I ended up getting up anyway (even though I could have easily fallen back asleep), making a small pot of coffee and had a very leisurely morning…ahhhh! I could get used to this!
I still have my PCT (patient care technician) training tonight but at least I get to enjoy the day before I have to get to work again! The training is going ok so far. Our instructor is not that great. She is not very thorough in her teaching of the chapters. She spends tons of time on one little, often unimportant section and then skips other sections altogether…grrr! It is annoying. I’m paying how much for this training? A lot, therefore, I want my money’s worth! If I can learn it just as well by reading a book all by myself then why do I need to pay someone to teach me?
Thankfully, we had a substitute instructor yesterday (and will have her again today) who was light-years better than the main instructor. I got sooooo much out of our class yesterday. I wish she would stay the whole time! Luckily for me though, she will be my clinical instructor the last two weeks of the training. She is AWESOME and I feel better knowing I will be learning from her during the most critical time in the training program!
Onto another topic, I am going to get my hair cut today…yay! I love getting my hair cut. Right now my hair is semi-long with no bangs but face framing layers that I swoop to the side. I’m thinking about getting bangs but that’s a big change for me. Well, I better decide quick since I have to leave in 30 minutes. Knowing me, I will chicken out at the last minute.
Hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

Have a great day off!
Hmm…it is nearly 75 degrees warmer here.
(Don’t worry, you had your good weather during spring and fall, while I was sweating.)

Glad to see you are blogging more regularly lately!
Congrats on nursing school! What type of nursing are you looking to go into…I think I missed that?

Hope you got those bangs, I think bangs are adorable, as long as they are done correctly. I can never get my stylist to cut them right. Maybe what I am envisioning is impossible! Sigh. It’s great to hear you are doing well. And yay for a day off work!
