Really, I mean well

.........But I have not been posting very often.  Life seems to keep me too busy these days.   I just wanted to let you all know that I am here and alive, studying hard.  Just 7 more months.........(oh and the one month break in December) and we will get through this.  Or maybe I will just try to make it to Decamber for now.........just 2 1/2 months away.  

Quick update

So, we are moved down to St George and mostly settled.  These last 3 weeks have been a whirlwind of school, work, unpacking, studying.  
    
Things are going well at my new job.  Working for a pulmonologist is a lot different than Family Practice.  I only make about 5 phone calls a day and spend a lot more time caring for patients.  The computer charting system is a whole complicated thing to learn, but I am muddling through.  Dr Saiffe told me that I am fitting in well and he is "impressed with my work".  So, good.........I have him fooled ;0) 

School is great; busy as always.  I love our instructor.  She has so much passion for nursing and I have learned so much from her.  And, she lets us work on our assignments on our own time frame (what she calls a "self directed, adult learning environment")  Her logic is: if she can't trust us to do our homework how can she trust us to take care of patients?  So, I am staying on my self inflicted schedule and trying to get all the big assignments out of the way so that at the end of the semester I can focus on the final. 

Home is good.  I love our new place.  The trees in front keep the house nice and cool, and the garage has been a handy storage space.  I am only 10 mins from work and the hospital, Dave has a 5 min commute.  The climate is hot, but not intolerable.  It will be great in the winter.
