A Great Day
Oct. 4th, 2006 01:57 pmAfter several days viewing life as a spectator sport, I feel really engaged today. Maybe the fog has lifted. I hate those times when, even surrounded by friends and family, you feel an outsider who isn't a part of anything. Yucko indeed.
In any case, my doldrums haven't kept me from staying busy. I had a nice weekend visiting with friends even though we stayed up late every night and got up early every day. That seems to get harder and harder as I get older.![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
de23 joined me on Friday night and I introduced her to season nine. We got carried away and watched 7 episodes! Even though season 9 is a different stargate, she seemed to enjoy it as evidenced by the comment "can we watch one more?". I also enjoyed some of those iffy episodes more the second time around. The next day we went to a fall festival at her church and had a good time, especially the kids. Afterwards we watched S's soccer practice and, amazingly, I ran into a couple of people I know on the soccer field, though I don't even live in Clarksville. We were joined that evening by Leigh and Eric and after having a very period dinner of take out Pizza, we managed to get the chronicle all sorted. I have had it for months but haven't really taken the time to sort it so it was good we did this. I relinquished the thing to Eric since I have been so derelict in my duties. We even called soniag to get her opinion on the matter, poor dear, as I am sure she really wasn't up for such a long and detailed conversation at 11pm. We'll have to blame it on the vanilla vodka!
Naturally, after such fun and games, I have had to play catchup with my "homework". I also have the possibility of taking a new schedule at work. Seems that they have posted two new RN positions who will be "floaters" working 11am-11pm. I went to talk to my supervisor today as I think this would be perfect for me at the present time and would certainly free up my useless Monday spent sleeping. I do well on nights but I have noticed that after a certain amount of time, it begins to bother me. It takes a few years, but eventually I start noticing those negative effects on my overall energy level. An area oncologist would also like to start giving chemo at the hospital, though it would be considered outpatient. I certainly would love to be chemotherapy certified. It seems that I am one of those folks who has to be learning something new and/or doing different things all the time in order to feel that I am in a career and not just doing a job. That probably is what prompted my beginning grad school. I suppose it could be said that I am never satisfied...LOL!
Besides Alias and VM, I am still slowly working through Farscape again. I found myself getting all misty eyed over Gilina and then the season one ender as well. Gulp, sob. On to season two.........
