I am only working two days in the next schedule. I got off work early walked Sheba in the field then picked up Kylie and walked the both of them again. I love the outdoors - renews me.

Change in direction
So, I have started Ultrasound school. 7 months have gone by and I have 9 more to go.
In that time I have had two surgeries - one taking ovaries and fallopian tubes out and they found stage 1a cancer. The second in December were the uterus was taken and some more biopsies. I am clean, just have to have follow up appointments.
The winter has been a hard one. I have been working also and find that I am just exhausted.
I am emotionally and physically drained.
I have put myself on "ON CALL" status at St Mary's so I don't have to work every week. I can try and recuperate.
I started crying at clinicals yesterday. It was very embarrassing. Just exhaustion with a little depression mixed in.
I did not get out and do thing enough to help my mental state. My one distraction is visiting Dick and Joan 2 -3 times a week.
I do walk Sheba 3 days a week, went snow shoeing with Kat twice, and shoveled, loaded wood, snow blowed, split wood, cleaned house. Not a balance there. I just keep telling myself I can make it 9 more months.
I think things will be better without the pressure of working 12 hours every week. I was on the floor mostly. At the end of the day as a CNA my legs hurt so bad I couldn't even sleep.
So, here is to another new beginning. One were I am taking care of myself a little better.
