Let's Talk About the Weather

I feel all grown up now since I am excited to write to you all about the weather over here. Well, I am either all grown up or just so bored that talking about the weather sounds fun. This summer has been really nice. There were only about 4 days when the temp got above 90, it was usually in the 80's or upper 70's. As nice as that has been, I really wanted to talk about my drives home from Lewiston when it is raining. When it rains in Lewiston, the clouds are so low that they sit on top of the Lewiston hill. As I drive up the road on the hill, I can see the clouds sitting on the road in front of me. Then, I am driving inside of the cloud. It is quite a feeling to see the cloud that you are going to drive through. On cloud I drove through was such a dark and heavy cloud that when I was in it, the fog was so thick I could only see one dashed line in front of my car and I could only see the dash when it was very close to my car. It is fun driving through clouds because once you are through the cloud, it is always clear on the other side, well or there is another cloud sitting on the road a ways in front of you and you get to drive through another cloud. The sight of the clouds sitting on the wheat fields is so cool. If I think about it, I will take a camera with me next time the weather is going to be like that.

Work Work Work...

Well, I thought I would update you all on how work has been going.

As you know, I work 12 hr days. This has been really nice because it means that I get long weekends sometimes. For example two weeks ago I had a 5 day weekend and next week I have a 6 day weekend. It is nice to have so many days off to relax, do chores, and have fun.

As you also know, I am supposed to be working in pediatrics. However, kids just are not sick right now. I have worked a total of 3 days in pediatrics since I have started work. I have spent a lot of time working in the nursery though and also in OB. This has been nice. I hope though that I get to spend more time in peds soon. The time that I have spent in peds I have loved. The last day I worked there, I got to start an IV on a 1 year old. I did it on the first try with no problems. That is pretty hard to do since kids veins are a lot smaller than adults, and kids dont like to hold still when you come toward them with a needle.

Overall, I am very pleased with my job and am glad that I have a job that I am excited to go to work , even when I wake up at 5:00 am to get ready.

Back to School

School started up again today. I am so glad that I didn't have to go back to school. Kyle on the other hand now has classes all day and homework all night. He had to put away his video games and open up his text books instead. He says that the classes here are more difficult than those at WWCC. This semester, Kyle has 5 classes and they are all very time consuming. He goes to class all day and then comes home and locks himself in the office to study until dinner. He then comes out, eats, and goes back to study more. He keeps saying that he can hardly wait to be done with school (2.5-3 more years) so that he can wake up, go to work, come home, and have his evenings to have fun instead of doing homework. I have to admit that I can hardly wait for him to be done too so that I can see my husband again.
