Happy New Year! I had a clear drive on New Year's day down to Indiana. My poor new friends. After 10 1/2 hours in the car I was pretty antsy. Excitement + road fatigue + excitement + new friends + excitement + renewed blood flow to the extremities = hmmm...yep, I'd say I was rather Hammie-like. :-) Did anyone say squirrel??
Thank you so much for all your prayers for me! I have felt them! It has been a whirlwind week and the wind is still blowing. The next week will still be crazy with shadowing our shifts, learning policy, learning our jobs, moving in, and getting settled. Not to mention I'm still nursing my wounds of getting beat rather badly by my mom in cribbage. :-( Yep, got skunked one game and barely not skunked another. It took my mom to school me and put my card-playing pride back in it's place.
Looks like for January Wednesdays will be my busy day. I start at 8AM (after a night shift on Tues ending around 10:30/11P) and finish about 8:30/9PM. I'll have a bit of a break in the mornings (1 1/2 hours) a couple of the weeks. Praying for me on Wednesdays during January would be appreciated.
This post is a bit random, but I wanted to get something else posted before the week gets away from me, especially tomorrow, my first Wednesday.
