A new Currently...

Reading: I am actually in between books. I'm kind of tired of reading pregnancy books. I read 2 pregnancy books, 1 about "the 1st year", and one about breastfeeding. That's enough.

 I have 2 weeks left of my Capstone, then I begin my practicum and I think at that point, my paper writing requirements goes down pretty significantly. I'd like to treat myself to a fun read. Lisa, I'm looking at you for suggestions ;) haha! 

Thinking: About getting through my last months of school. I am so excited to be done. 

Feeling: Relieved. I am about 3 weeks into my new job as a quality nurse in transplant, and I am so incredibly happy. I actually get excited to work. I didn't realize how stressed out and unhappy I was in my previous role. I think I was making excuses for myself stating "this is good for my career", "this is good for growth", "look at all the visibility and experience I'm gaining". But it was toxic, nothing was good enough, and I was thrown under the bus regularly. 

It feels so refreshing to be in an environment where I feel supported and people are happy. My current boss is so supportive of me getting through grad school. I told her I would start working weekends, since I have to do 8-10 hours per week with my preceptor, and she said "This all supports the transplant department, just make sure you're not falling behind, but don't stress yourself out!" 

Anticipating: The unfolding of all the real estate deals we have recently closed on. We have been busy marketing the listings for rent, cleaning the houses and getting them ready, and soon we should be getting tenants placed. Luckily, since we are going in with a partner on these houses - we don't have to do the background checks/tenant screening since he handles all the property management! 

Working: On getting our garden ready for the next season. It is still so dang out outside. Still in the 100-105 degree range daily. So we get a few hours in the early mornings to clean out the beds, turn over the soil, and now we can finally start planting out the next crop!

Grateful: That my pregnancy nausea has finally gone away!

Listening: A lot of classical music. I'm really hoping our child loves the orchestra as much as her mama does. So Tchaikovsky, Mozart, and Schumann are played near my belly often these days while I'm working ;) 

Wishing: For cooler temps. That's all. I'm glad it at least is in the 70's in the early morning, but that's still warm for this time of year. I'm so tired of seeing 100 degrees day after day in the forecast.
