I am feeling good- just put 8- 13 hr shifts- straight behind me, 1 more to go then I will be off for 12 days & I am going to Hotlanta to see my family & help one of my cousins, I grew up with celebrate her wedding! I have been consistently working out & watching what I eat & my body is finally responding. Not only am I feeling good about my appearance I am proud of my bedside manner. After being @ HUMC for 5 nights in a row, I had the privilege to take care of some pretty awesome people. I was complimented & was given a beautiful velvet cupcake & even offered a job to run a mental health clinic! I tell you, talk about stroking my ego! Wow! My VIP pt, stated, "you are definitely in the right profession, you bring out the best in people & your humor does help the healing process"- thank you so much. I got pretty choked up.
On another note, I waited too long to go back to school, I just found out, that they got rid of the Master's program @ my Alma mater, Rutgers University! So, I am forced to apply @ UMDNJ, where they will only accept 6 of my 9 credits- sucks :-( . On the other hand, I have a bunch of colleagues from Livingston & Hackensack that currently attend that school & they have offered their support in my endeavor.
As for my social life, non-existing mostly, & occasionally not to proud of my decisions, but- I really can't commit to any kind of relationship @ this time. I have to focus on myself & I have told myself, that I @ least have to wait until Shami is in college before I can consider any type of committed relationship; which is @ least 3 years in time. For now, I will enjoy my new freedom & continue to rediscover my strengths & finish my collegeic education. All while taking care of my family & enjoying views like this with my Marley!:
My infamous healthy chicken salad!
Thanks Paula for the recipe- I eat it daily & switch up the meat & sometime go meatless!
Enjoying my god-daughters in between shifts- love those girls!

The creek by my condo complex
It's mentally soothing to walk by this image everyday!
My back door, it's been raining steadily, which has caused allot of growth- hope mgt takes care of it soon!
