Wellness Wednesday, my ass.

No, when I said "My ass"...I was not referring to "Hey guys! I'm going to give you a great workout to make you have tight buns"..............

I am being cynical. And grumpy.

I am sorry for the profanity.

3 clinicals this week. I leave the house at 5:40 am, get home at 8:30 pm. Almost 2 hours of that day is spent driving. I officially hate where we live right now. Cannot wait for that golden day when we move.


(construction signs should be be more honest, instead of "Delay ahead" -- they should just say "You're probably going to want to drive your vehicle through a cement median during the next 3 miles. Hey Don't feel so bad!--It's your tax dollars going to great use!")

I'm skimping out on my "Wellness Wednesday" today. 

I have an online class, where, if the internet wasn't so public -- I would be ranting on and on about how I feel about many issues surrounding this class.

Oh, if the day had more hours. And if nursing programs didn't contains so much BS. (and I'm not talking about Bachelors of Science, either...)

Anyways, I'm really not that grumpy and miserable. I love my practicum! Homework and papers are driving me up the wall. In all honesty, I'm in a pretty good mood.

I'll still make "well" choices and sneak in a workout today to get away from the computer and books for awhile!

5.5 weeks to go. I can do this!!!

See? There's a smile!! From the devil herself! ;)

Stay well, my friends!

"Jumping through the hoops" is laborious. I couldn't handle all of that traffic and construction, either. But, humor helps! I LOVED that picture of the cat. Hoot.

Ranting is good for wellness once in awhile, huh? Hang in there! A man drove through a bunch of fresh cement in Fargo on a construction site and it cost literally thousands of dollars to replace! Don't try it!

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

Good things

I must say there are many good things I have to be happy about right now! I am in my psychiatric-mental health nursing rotation right now. I originally chose nursing as my major beause from the time I was like 12 I wanted to be a psych nurse. I love it so far. The clinicals are incredible. I am finding I am more organized and ahead of things in this class than I ever have been! Now, if I could be this motived with Critical Care and my Capstone this summer......:) Ryan and I got an entire day together yesterday!!!! This is rare. My spring break kind of sucked. He would leave at about 6 a.m., and not return until 8 p.m. The poor guy is spread too thin! So I cherish a day like yesterday! Which consisted of............. Spring Training baseball!!!!!! Diamondbacks vs. Oakland Atheletics. It was nearly a close-out. 10-1. We met his bosses wife at the game and she insisted we ditch our seats & sit in the seats in front of them that they had purchased . So we were FRONT ROW BEHIND HO...
