  1. Somehow I have learned how to double post. Definitely time for bed!
  2. I’ve done this several times but I never keep it going. This year I am going for a plain and simple planner!

  4. Today was a twelve hour day due to staffing shortages. Ugh! I didn’t mind when they may meant that I only worked three days a week. This week I’m not only working six days but two of them are 12 hour days. Must keep repeating “It isn’t forever and I will be happy when I see the check.”
  5. These are beautiful! Bullet journaling is always so attractive to me, but somehow I never seem to get started.
  6. Had a good day at work. The kids are enjoying their holiday break, but back to it next week. I need to find some time to finish planning before Monday.
  7. Merry Christmas everyone! It was a crazy week. It was my first week as manager and then my husband got admitted to the hospital. It looks like he had an infection in the bursa on his elbow. He got discharged on Christmas Eve. I am so grateful he got to come home in time for Christmas. Our family holiday celebration moved to our house since he didn’t feel well which was a lot of work, but I think it turned out well. This is week 2 of being the interim manager. So far, so good I think. Lots of overtime though. Oh well. I’ll appreciate it on the paycheck!
  8. Today was my first day in the manager role. It went well. I am still doing lots of work to get adequate staffing, but I think I am in a good place. Later this week, I need to work on school planning. We start back after the first and I want to be ready for our new schedule.
  9. Good morning! Yesterday was officially my last shift as a charge nurse. It is a little bittersweet. I’m excited about my new role and path, but this has been such a large part of my life and my identity for a long time. Today, I need to go shopping for new work shoes. With my feet going intermittently numb from my back injury, my gait has been strange and it is making my shoes wear in an odd way. Then I need to plan meals for the next two weeks so I can go grocery shopping tomorrow. I’ve had coffee. Now time for a shower!
  10. Good morning! I’m off today and have been using the time to catch up on a few things. I’m very excited because I found out great news from my university. I was working on a master’s degree to be a nurse practitioner. With my new role, I need to switch to a master’s in nursing education. I just found out that all 5 of the classes that I have already completed will transfer to my new specialty track! Also, I don’t have to start back until March. By then I’ll be done with the interim manager position and will have been in my new nurse educator position for at least a month. This will give me time to adjust. I’m so relieved!
  11. Definitely. If I survived that, I can survive anything!
  12. It was a crazy, rough day at work today. We lost main power twice! Everything needed to keep people alive still worked, but our call light system was going crazy. Last day with the training wheels on. I am off tomorrow, work as charge nurse on Friday, and then I’m manager for six weeks starting Monday.😬
  13. It was a good day at work today. I shadowed my manager again to prepare for next week when I take over for her leave. I got incredibly lucky and was issued a laptop so I can work at home when needed. In even better news, I figured out how to make it work from home!
  14. I feel like I accomplished a lot today. Did church on Zoom. I was just too exhausted when I woke up to get us all out the door. At first, I worried that I might be getting sick. Then I did timecards and realized that I have put in 32 hours of overtime in the last two weeks. 🤯 I guess I was tired for a reason. I finished writing the schedule for the next schedule period. Once I find out more about the agency nurses that are coming I will have to adjust, but it had to be published today. Wrapped presents with my younger kiddo today. Will wrap the rest with my older one tomorrow night. Well off to bed soon. I’m shadowing my manager again tomorrow so it will be a full day.
  15. Good morning! I’m actually off today. I do have to work on the schedule for the next six weeks for work. It is mostly done, but is due today. Then I will hopefully have some time to work on the house, wrap Christmas presents, and watch a couple of episodes of Wednesday.
