Where is the time going...

Here it is Oct 17, the month is half gone already. I can't believe how fast time is flying by!!! The only benefit is soon all the campaign adds will be gone!

Not much happening. Working on knit stuff for the store and trying to squeeze in some Christmas knitting.

The new door is suppose to be installed on Monday.

Closing the camper and getting ready for colder weather.

Hope all is well with you :)

Hello All

I sit here at work and for tonight we are having a very nice one. Really deserved too!

Haven't heard anything on the maternity front. Trying not to become negative, believing God will work all out the way it should. But getting really tired of ER.

Been working on some knits for the shop for displays, enjoying doing some baby stuff. Need to get back to my own knitting.

Other than that... I have nothing to say. Life continues. Children grow.

Where did that last come from? My daughter went to homecoming this past weekend. Got a little teary-eyed. She was just so grown up, won't be long before shes leaving me to be on her own and than married.

Keep knitting my friends. Chat soon.

Ut Oh

I was a not so good girl.

I ordered myself a ball winder and spinning thing.

I ordered yarn to make a skirt.

I (finally) used my discount coupon and gift certificate to order from Blue Moon (like that's suppose to make it better)

and none of it was for gifts.... it is all for meeeeee.

Thankful Thursday

SO.....

Last week when I was at work, the RN Recruiter for our Main hospital in the system came through the ER on a totally unrelated task. I spoke with her for a few minutes, she told me about a OB position at Main and gave me her card with the instructions to forward a transfer request and resume. Which I did. The next AM when I arrived home.

So it being one week almost to the hour today, I called to follow-up.

While I have not been invited for an interview yet, the conversation was very positive and I am hoping to be invited for said interview in the next couple weeks.

Amond some of the other things she said to me "Divine Intervention" was one.

She mentioned that ER nurses are one of the best fits for OB as were used to ever changing playing fields, life and death and taking all in stride like the post has just been delivered. SO, the conversation has uplifted me that there may be the possibility of change in my near future and not just distant future. Which is good cause I'm off to the "yucky place" in an hour and can do so with a little more hope.

Will keep you posted :)

Nothing New

Hard to believe that in 8 days nothing can be new. As I type this I realize that there are a couple, but nothing necessarily positive.

My car decided that it needed that little extra attention this weekend, so off to the shop she went for a few hoses (cooling type), new window motor and oil change. Can you say cha-ching. Why is it when your trying to pay bills off you seem to acquire even more.

Danielle from "A Knitting Mom" has disappeared, right out of blog land. No notice, no nothing. So Danielle, if you're reading, I'm missing you!!!

Work is work, lets move on.

I did run into the Nurse Recruiter for our main hospital last week. Spoke with her regarding a transfer and she did clue me in on a position that was going to be posted. I have sent all my paperwork over and am waiting (again) to hear something.

Other than that? I'm cleaning and doing laundry. Oh what a life I lead :)

Later

Hello All

So I've been back at work.

Didn't get the Mother/Baby job, they promoted from within. Waiting to see if they post a part time position. Spoke with someone from Alaska yesterday who told me she would hire me for a month in an intern position. Giving it some serious consideration for next summer. Real serious consideration. I mean what an opportunity!

If you don't have a 15 YO yet, let me tell you its NOT a joy. And if you do have one, do you have any pearls of wisdom? I seriously do not currently like my child much.

Other than that I'm working and knitting. Plan to hit the camper this coming weekend, hoping to get some serious knitting done. Only have a couple more weekends before we close up. Have the "Vintage socks about 1/2 done. All the leaves & one sock. I have to do sock #2 and attach all the cuff leaves.

Well its off to the yucky place, happy days all.
