Do I have anything to say?: Annoying Myself

Annoying Myself

For "a really long time" I pretty much made sure I wrote a blog post every day. Even when I didn't really WANT to, it kind of felt like something I HAD to do. In some cases, it really was something I HAD to do because there was stuff that just needed to come out. Needless to say, I probably wrote some pretty funny things on those days that I didn't really have anything to say but wanted to write anyway :o)

For some reason, the past month or so, I haven't been posting every day. Now, I don't remember actually TELLING myself that is okay, but I kind of think it is okay (it isn't like I have a crazy blog like MckMama who has to post at least once, if not three or more times, a day otherwise people might freak out!)

However, now I have gone from writing every day to not writing every day, but HAVING to write "every other day". For nearly two weeks, that has been on the "even days". Now, don't get me wrong, I do like my even days--remember, the 22nd is my favorite date--however, that every other day, even if it is on the evens, is kind of annoying to me. Maybe because I don't want to think that I have done that much planning to make sure that I have posted something every other day and writing every other day on the evens seems a bit to orderly to my life that definitely is not. (ha ha, I've been "working" on this post for an hour and just re-read that sentence...now THAT makes very little sense, but I am definitely going to leave it!)

Who knows. In any case, I was annoying myself and decided to mess up my own pattern by posting today, an "odd" day.

Work was fine. Yesterday when I walked out of work, one of the nurses said it was supposed to be "one of the top 10 days of the year"...whatever that means, but it was still stinky to be inside. Today was actually in the high 80s I think...that's sort of what I heard...again, I spent the day indoors. However, I must say that I'm not a fan of the high 80s and above...hot weather is not really my friend which is one reason I decided I could not live in Texas. Of course, this will be my first full weekend off since February 21-22 (believe me, I checked!) and there is rain in the forecast. Now, cool rain is much more appealing to me than the sizzling sun, but not when I have a fun weekend planned :o) I am hoping that there are much more cool spring-like days in the forecast because I'm not quite ready for summer!

Well, this is very random...one of those "probably didn't need to post that" kind of posts. But, maybe I will be less annoyed at myself now!

I checked my schedule and don't go back to work on the floor until Wednesday...crazy! Then, it will almost be May and I'm super excited for some really fun things that are in my plans for May...it could be my "funnest" month since October (of course that is the last month when I had two weeks of vacation...who WOULDN'T be happy only working 9 times in a month...ha ha!) There definitely will be more to come on my May plans as they unfold.

Alright, probably time to go to bed (or, at least time to end this post!)

Good night!

Furry Bottoms said...: I think you should write as much as you like... whenever you want. I don't have a schedule to keep with my blog. I just write whenever something pops up... Can you imagine the pressure MckMama's under? The NEWS... and the WORLD is following her blog now. It's not as private anymore.; 24 April, 2009 12:12

Who's Who

Updated September 2013

I have one sister who is married and has two boys. "A" was born June 2009 and "I" was born March 2012. We are both really close to my parents and have lots of "family dinners".

I wrote a lot about my patients when I first started this blog. Some patients are still growing and thriving, and others have lost their battles.

My first foster placements lived with me from June 2010-September 2011. They were sisters who were 15 and almost 3 when they were placed with me and are now 18 and 5. I called M "the teen" and L "the little one". They live with their mom who still has many issues, but are doing well (ok) and I still have (not enough) contact with them.

My second foster placement came to me September 6, 2012. I call her Zoe and she turned 5 in April. She has cystic fibrosis and has been a patient on my floor at the hospital. The plan is still reunification.

Ivy is a 17-year-old whose mom died just before Thanksgiving. She has a Guardian, but is unable to live with him due to some family issues. She has no other family who is willing/able to take her. She moved in with me the beginning of February. She moved to a group home at the beginning of August as her needs were too great for me with my schedule and having another child with special needs.
