update- nikki

not too much to write about- I start Rainbow orientation Monday- still trying to get some pieces together for it though like my TDAP immunization record and my N95 fit tested results (stupid Flu A requirement for the isolation those patients are on...) This week is my vacation week from the Clinic, so it worked out really well for half of the Rainbow orientation! The next week I'll be back at the Clinic- on nights, ick- and trying to work in 20 some hours of clinical time at Rainbow- no fun! BUT, this will be my life for the next 5 months, and I need to get used to it! other news- my grandma passed away Wednesday morning, funeral was yesterday. It was pretty unexpected even though she's been sick the past few years off and on. She always went into the hospital for one reason or another, and always came home- but not this time, well, she didnt come to OUR home, she went to God's home! It really was all surreal though- sick with asthma/flu/pneumonia for 2.5 weeks then gone forever.... wakes you up a little to make sure you're living every day as full and loving as possible because anything can happen! with that in mind, i headed out last night to the NR home playoff game which was really exciting the first half, then NR made lots of mistakes and lost... then I went out to Lakewood with Kamala, Sam, Mary B and Grace- we had an awesome time! stupid nikki move of the night- left my phone in Sam's car! she's going back to Il today so it was a mini crisis! but crisis averted! so now I'm going to shower and get ready for the day- lots to do- cleaning, laundry, and it's beautiful out so maybe a walk!
