Week Highlights

I'm stealing this idea from my sister, because I think it's a fun way to wrap up and reflect the week! And sometimes I'm not so creative about blogging ;)


The high of my week was attending a going away party to a friend of mine who is moving to Germany Monday. She will be dearly missed. But it was so much fun to celebrate new beginnings. And I got to reconnect with the nurses and doctors from my old job - and I have to say my heart is heavy! I miss them so much!

I've worked with this guys since I started my career in nursing, and they've all played integral parts in who I am - and have become great friends along the way.


The low of my week was paying all my bills from the multiple doctor's appointments I had 2 weeks ago! I had a massive sinus infection, so am very pleased I'm feeling better. But I really do not enjoy spending my hard-earned money on that.

The book I’m reading is ....... I really don't think I could even say I'm reading a book right now. How sad is that?! I have severely falling off the "reading wagon", and desperately need to get back on. All I read these days are journals from the "American Thoracic Society".

For my workouts, I completed: Monday I ran to a park 2 miles from my house, did sprints & push-ups on the soccer field (5 miles ran total). Tuesday I rested. Wednesday I lifted weights (back) and ran 4 miles. Thursday I did an 8 mile trail run. Friday I lifted shoulders. Saturday I plan to run 7 miles. Sunday I will lift weights and swim!

The best money I spent was my "Friday latte". My clinic is located in the School of Medicine @ the U of A. And on Friday's they host a Farmer's Market.  I splurged today and enjoyed a delicious latte from a local barista!

My plans this weekend include: Running with my girlfriends in the morning, taking puppy to obedience school, doing lots of baking for several parties, celebrating a girlfriend's 40th bday, attending a Mother's Day Brunch at another friend's house, and hopefully getting some relaxation by the pool!

This week flew!!! I cannot believe it's already the weekend. I am not complaining ;)

Sounds like you had a great week! I know that heavy feeling of missing coworkers from a previous job. It's bittersweet to move onto a new opportunity as the people you worked with before can be like a family. It's tough to stay in touch since everyone is so busy so it's nice to have events like the one you attended this week to bring everyone back together!

Sounds like you have a fun weekend on deck! Enjoy all of the baking!!

Wow, that was a busy week but sounded like fun, too! I know you worked your tail off on Saturday baking and so happy it all turned out great! Leaving old friends is never easy so I'm happy you had a chance to reunite!

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...
