catch up

I've been neglecting personal blogging as of late, so here is a hodgepodge of happenings.
  • Friday was my Pawpaw's official last day of work. He also gave the BHHS commencement address [I think I got my mammoth dislike of public speaking from him]. The man is now retired and free to do whatever he wants...okay, free to do whatever is on the honey-do list ;)
  • Saturday was my parents' 34th wedding anniversary! Hawaii for the big 3-5? I don't know, that requires getting on a plane, and the Pawpaw is not a fan.
  • Tux has spring fever. He knocked a lamp over on Wednesday and has been quite naughty as of late--trying to climb screens, sitting on tables, and mrow-ing.
  • Work is...trying. I struggle every single day with the fact that people come to work and expect others to do their job for them. I struggle with the lack of team players, the lack of unit cohesiveness, and the me-first attitude of so many. We are there to take care of the patients, not our own selfish needs. If you see something that needs to be done, do it! Don't wait for someone else to come along and tell him/her to do it. No one is "above" anything...and my license trumps your nothing, so deal.
  • I am so excited for the upcoming nuptials of both my dear friend Teresa and my amazing cousin Danielle [Lindsey too, but we've got a bit of time before that one]. I'm honored to have been asked to stand up in Teresa's and to read in Dani's. <--Yes, I can deal with public speaking in this sense :)
  • Girls' Weekend 3.0 is a go, with hotel reservations in WI Dells made, and Chicks in the City 2010 is also a go, with vacation time granted! That's good, as I was planning on calling in sick every day from NYC if I didn't get it!!
peace and love,
