Vacation!

Actually, it's more like a staycation. One of the perks of being PRN is that I get to make my own schedule. The basic rule of thumb is: you work, you get paid; you don't work, you don't get paid. Obviously, it's a lot more beneficial to be on the working side but, at times, one must look at their workload and decide if they need a break. This couldn't come at a better time for me. After last week's awful mishaps, I think a break is in order.

My friend, JM, is coming in tomorrow for four days. I made sure not to schedule any on call shifts and am taking Thursday and Friday off. I'm so excited to have some time to explore this city. JM did a lot of research too and sent me a list of some possible fun things to do. However, I am choosing to ignore the Wildflower Center and beach volleyball. No thanks. I am excited though about going to a preserve and seeing peacocks ... or peafowl as the website keeps saying. Luckily, JM doesn't get in until 11:20 tomorrow, so I'll get to sleep in. Thank goodness, I'm sooooo exhausted. All this work tires a gal out.

Stay tuned to hear about my adventures this week!

Coffee

Hmm, I had my coffee date today with the stranger. I've called my friend, Brianna, and my mom to tell them about it but I find that I struggle to find the right words to express how it went. It was amazing. It was wonderful. We had such great conversations. And, seriously, the all time best part? Definitely when he told me that one of his childhood fears was sharks in the deep end of swimming pools. I looked at him and told him that I could have hugged him right then and there. I have NEVER met anyone else who has had that fear. Granted, I still have it but it was refreshing to meet someone else who has had it.

And .... I have another date next week :-)
