Breakfast of Champions and Other News

I LOOOVE Wheaties. I am ALWAYS in the mood for a bowl of Wheaties.
I bought 10 boxes for 17 dollars! Is that a steal or what! I wish I had bought 20 boxes at that deal!

4 nurses were laid off at my facility. I am so grateful/thankful that I still have a job. I still love working nights- besides that fact that I now have trouble sleeping at night. (I can sleep anytime during the DAY though) I feel a lot of job satisfaction too. I feel like I really get to make a difference in people's lives. I try really hard to spend a little time with each patient talking with them about other things besides medicine and treatments. Being a nurse is a really hard job too sometimes (almost always)-physically and emotionally. It can be so stressful and you don't get to go the bathroom or eat and your back and legs hurt all the time.

I bought some songs on iTunes with some giftcards I got. Its really fun to have new music to listen to! Speaking of music-I got a keyboard for my birthday! It is very fancy and has its own stand!

I got my face lasered for some left over acne scarring on my cheeks! I have been wanting to do it for a long time. They don't really bother anyone else, but they bug me. A few years ago when I was having a particularly bad bout with acne I got a blessing. It wasn't about my acne, it was just a back to school one, but I remember one part talking about how my face would heal completely and look like it did before I was having acne problems. I was kind of surprised about that being said because I was not expecting it. Anyway, the point is it's amazing how life works and that all these years later I am now actually fixing those scars! One treatment down...a few more to go.

And lastly...I am in love. Just in case you were wondering.

I love hearing about your life :) Being a nurse sounds crazy, but you are just perfect for it! I'm in the midst of getting laser hair removal... "I love technology" haha Also, I love that you're in love :)

You got to love those wheaties and the sweet deal. Hopefully you will also think your face is beautiful after the treatments.

Your awesome. I remember when you bought like 5 boxes of wheaties at Broulims and I thought you were nuts!! I love hearing about your job and I'm way jealous of your laser treatments! Woot woot!!

Dear Nurse Janet,

Your mom also told me you are in love! Congratulations! A slow-growing love over time, building trust with your best friend really is the ideal kind. I do shake my head over some of these whirlwind romances that blossom into marriage in 2-6 months, my own kids included! And I'm glad you are feeling happier about the scar removal, although most of us never even noticed it- you are so beautiful with or without the acne removal!
