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!

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

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 ...

Winter Storm hits the desert?!

Happy New Years Eve to all. I hope everyone is able to celebrate with family, friends, or loved ones tonight! And -- I hope everyone has a safe evening!! Be careful out there! We are finally experiencing some "weather" here in Tucson. I use "quotation marks"...because this "weather" the Tucsonan's are FLIPPING OUT over is just a "chilly October Day" in North Dakota (where I came from) Yesterday morning...I was getting off work. I could hear the wind blowing, and the rain falling throughout the night. There were moments where...I kind of want to crawl into one of the hospital beds and take a snooze. When 7:30 am rolled around, I was very anxious to go home after 3 nights on. I was ready to BOLT out the door.... ...when I was stopped by an oncoming shift coworker, who stated, "Abby, maybe you should stick around until the weather clears up. It's pretty bad out there...." FEeling concerned, I asked, "Really? Are th...
