End of wk rumblings

Hmmmm, I look at the last Henry Ford quote and keep thinking...hmmmm......  Ya, fear in itself is a not such a great thing, but in a way fear can give us the boost we need to get beyond said fear.

  It can make us more competitive, it can push us to push ourselves to better ourselves at times.  Then again, fear can be crippling if we let it.  Take it as you will, but for me if I'm fearful of something, I want to take it by the neck and squeeze the life out of it and say, I've conquered you, you frickin ass!!  Tho, that is just me........

Anyhooo, that post was sort of an emotional response to my oldest leaving and going back to his "home" in SC where he is stationed with the Air Force.  He visited our home for about a week and a 1/2.  More than enuf time by normal family standards.  It was good seeing him, being with him, etc., tho once a child leaves the nest, life changes maybe slowly, but it changes the dynamic of the house.  I have to say tho, it was nice of him to bug the cats, cuz they were sleeping for about 3 days straight after his departure.

Other than that, ya know, the nursing biz is what it is, it is keeping me busy somewhat.  Unfortunately our census has been low again, and gee I need sick peeps in order to keep my job.  Not a good thing, but a necessary thing for me.  Ok, peeps get sick will ya?   I've gone thro alot of PTO in the last yr+ since I've been back in the ICU.  Not a good thing.  Soooo, as you've read in previous posts I'm thinking of supplementing, either with ED, or travel or ??  Actually, AMR (ambulance service) has called once or twice, so maybe I will check them out again.  I've known a couple of nurses whom have done Critical Care Transport Nursing and it doesn't seem to be a 1/2 bad gig.  Yeah, everything with my job(s) lately is highly questionable.  The end result is just my ADD brain functioniong in hyperdrive it seems.

As for training, I still have the most xcellent, genius coach out there

I have nada in the works as for races right now.  Kinda in maintain mode.  Maybe a sprint tri for the fall...then, maybe not.  I'm either going to do a 1/2 or full mary tho in the fall/early winter.  Y'know, maintenance mode is not such a bad thing at times, specially during the summer months.  I do NOT race well in the heat and/or heat/humidity fxtrs.  :-( 

Ok...WAKE UP!!  Hellloooooo!!  Not a very snappy blog post, but whatever.  More stuff going on in my head, it might make you vomit, so I won't go there. 

You can thank me later.
