New Job

It's been awhile since I posted....have been amazingly busy with my new job...just learning the ropes. Things are starting to settle into somewhat of a routine....Drive, Orient, drive, see patients, drive, practice, organize, drive, learn, see patients, organize, organize, etc, etc, etc
As you may know, I like organizing, so that works, I love taking care of people - so that works, and believe it or not....I like the driving...gives me time to think, enjoy the outdoors, gives a big variety to the day. I have LOTS more to learn....but I have a wonderfully, patient Preceptor and 3 months - plus to learn my job. It's been a great move for me to make.....ask again in 3 months when my brain has quit spinning.

Goodbye Times Three!

The last week has included way too many goodbyes! Last Saturday morning Mike and I were dropping Brian off at the airport for his 3-month schooling in Virginia. Thankfully, we will be seeing him soon at Christmas....still it's hard to say goodbye.

Friday morning I said goodbye to Mike as he took off for deer hunting.....up to the cabin with a friend from work, Brad. He was really looking forward to time off to tromp through the woods...and get that elusive "Deer." I think he enjoys the quiet time in the woods the most!
The house sure is quiet now that we are "empty nesters"....sometimes nice but I do miss him.

Monday evening I said a very hard goodbye! After 6 1/2 years of taking care of my young patient, I said goodbye. Even though I often took care of other patients, also.....I spent
thousands of hours caring for him..... a special bond develops.....I will be able to visit, but it won't be the same. I've talked with him before about meeting in heaven some day....seeing him running, talking and laughing.....what a joy it has truly been to be a part of this famly!
I'm very excited to begin my new position next Wednesday, but still there is an emptiness.

Goodbye, all
