La la la laaaaaaaaa

See, this is the problem with having a blog. I need to have TIME to write in it! Not that I don’t have any time, I just don’t make my blog a priority. I would much rather look at lolcats, talk with friends, hang out with my husband, play with ratties, and pet kitties than re-hash my day here. I am going to make an effort to update more often; once a week at least. Tomorrow is the last day of summer break. I’ve spent my break sleeping, doing yard work, hanging out with family, and dealing with storm damage. Wednesday we got a killer line of thunderstorms that dropped nearly 3 inches of rain (and some half-inch hail) on us in a few hours. It also dropped a very large tree branch on our roof, which let some of that rain fall in our guest room. @#$%&!!!!! The insurance adjuster is coming Tuesday morning. In the meantime, we have tarps on the roof and a bucket in the guest room. There isn’t a hole in the roof, but water is coming in, so there’s gotta be some damage there. Whatever. At least the tarps are brown and they kind of blend in with the shingles.

Clinicals are incredibly challenging. After 5 weeks I still feel really clueless, but I have learned a lot. My instructor says I’m doing fine, and my written work is “excellent” so I guess I’m doing okay. I can’t imagine how I’m going to manage more than one patient, though. I think I’m also waiting to screw up, like I know I’m going to make a giant mistake and it’s just a matter of time. Does everyone go through this, or am I just really neurotic? Yeesh. Oh yeah, I also have migraines. I was diagnosed on June 16, and since then I’ve had exactly ONE headache-free day. Not fun. At least I have medication for it now. La la la la laaaaaaaaa…not much to say, really…just posting to say “I’m gonna post more!”
Sleepy for no good reason,
