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.

glad you got moved, wish i were able to be close enough to help. i dont know how you do it. i would crack under the pressures that you deal with moving, going to work, and school all at once. i hope you see some down time and get in some much needed R & R.
