I hath returned

I'm back. I'm exhausted. I'll blog about my trip later.

Vacation

I'm off to New Jersey to see family for my cousin Morgan's confirmation. Be back on Sunday!

Freaking Sweet!

I got invited to show some of my photography in an art fair. I'm so excited!

Life got in the way

I know, I know, I've been neglecting this lately, but life has been busy lately. So this will become a multi-blog.

Conference

Last week was the MSCLS conference. I managed to get the time off of work for it, though I don't know why they don't make it easier for more people to go, I mean you learn so much and it seems like only the students go, and that's because their schools make them. I came back from the conference refreshed and re-energized and enjoying what I do for a living again. I brought back some ideas that may improve patient care, and information on the new way that diseases and disorders are being looked at. It's just like a 3 days that I need every year. Not to mention that I had a sweet suite at the hotel, with a jacuzzi tub and a king sized sleep number bed. It was heavenly. I was really glad that I'd decided to go down the night before the conference started since it was such a long trip. Plus Jill lives in Kalamazoo and I hadn't seen her in a year, so it was great to have some time to catch up with her. It'd been too long.

Home

Mom's still in the process of recovering from her surgery, it's been 6 weeks and I'm still in the process of chauffeuring her around because she still isn't quite herself. Mainly because she formed an abscess (only she'd be that 1% of people to get that particular complication) so now she's on killer antibiotics and is slowly starting to feel better. Hooray!

I'm getting ready to go to New Jersey in a week and a half for Morgan's Confirmation. So not only am I in the process of unpacking from the conference still, I also have to start figuring out what clothing and stuff I'm going to take with me and how to get gifts to New Jersey on 2 different planes out there in one piece. Fun fun. Luckily my gifts for her are small and things that she'll actually need. Hopefully my aunt that I'm traveling with doesn't buy something stupid.

And now for the scary part...

I've been accepted into CMU's Masters of Science of Administraion, Health Care Administration program.

Am I crazy?

Am I nuts?

Working full time on nights and going to school half time.

Shit.
