i can post toooo

 Wow I LOVE all the posts! I actually can't keep up with my friend's list for the first time...in years? AWESOME.

Things here are...well...oh I do have a good thing! after a week of trying I got Rob a therapy appointment!. I wanted to call Wednesday but we didn't have time at work it was insanely busy. Friday I called and left a message and they didn't call back (I suspect they were closed). On Monday I called and left a message. and they called back but the person Rob saw once isn't there anymore (she was new in July...so no idea what happened there). I had to start all over with the intake person. Fine *sigh* transfers me to intake...they won't schedule it with me unless Rob gives permission for me to help it...Rob calls back and leaves a message saying I can schedule (they're probably closed by then I suspect). Today I finally got a min to call (I can't call during my lunch hour as they're closed then too) and got him an appointment! On Thursday which is my day off so I can bring him. HURRAY! I know one therapy appointment isn't the solution but it finally feels like there's a path towards hope. When we go in with the therapist we can schedule an appointment with the psychiatrist to adjust his meds which is what I think really needs to happen. So yay there.


Also yesterday I gave my two weeks at my job. I feel REALLY torn about this. I love the office I'm in, I like the people, I like the kids. I am a little bored technically and I don't make nearly as much as I could. My new job is working in an in patient facility for kids with high acuity needs. A lot of kids with vents, trachs, G-tubes etc. I won't lie I'm both excited and terrified. This is REAL nursing and what if I'm horrible at it...but I'll make $2 more an hour from 7-3 with an additional $1.5 from 3-7pm and $3 more on weekends...plus they have tuition reimbursement. Sometimes change is good, but at this moment where everything feels like it's falling apart change is very scary.

I'm so glad he has an appointment! It's definitely a start. And hopefully get his meds right!

I've been wondering about the job--congratulations! And you'll be wonderful at it. They obviously saw something good in you when they hired you. Good luck!

And I'm also loving having trouble keeping up with my flist. I still maintain that this is the superior format :)

And I actually like Facebook...

Oh that is GREAT news for Rob. I hope it all gets easier after his appointment. I 100% agree he needs to at least have someone look into his meds and see what's up. That was what really helped Rich get back under control. The therapy helps for maintenance but without the meds he can't cope with like...anything.

Good luck with your new job! New stuff is super scary but woo raises! Woo tuition reimbursement!

Congrats at the new job! I've found being a bit challenged is good. Growing skill wise makes us happy! Yay for the new job and more money! May it buy you all the more fabric. :)

Change is scary, but it sounds like it's a great opportunity. Increased income! Also, glad to hear you were able to book an appointment. I hope it's very productive and helpful!

I know, there are SO MANY posts now I am like... wait, so much to read ! The good thing is, it cuts down on my FB browsing time. And it's so much more meaningful and enjoyable, yay !
Kudos to you for managing to get the appointment for your hubby. It's a good first step !
And yay to the new job ! It's always a little scary to jump into the unknown, so mro epower to you for doing so. I'm sure you will be fantastic at it.

Yay appointment! Yay new job!

I have a theory that whenever i think "omg this is new (but totally within my skill set) and what if i suck at it??" the thing is totally in my skill set and i do just fine. You're gonna do just fine <3 I've got Michael Jackson style backup dancing ready to at a moment's notice if you need it. :-)

I'm so happy that you were able to get Rob an appointment!

And the new job does sound intense, but you're going to rock it. Plus, yay for more money!

[danabren]

These are both amazing things, hurrah!

Change is super scary. Shoot I hate having new instructor each semster and not being 100% how they are going to grade, so I totally feel you on the new job. I doubt you are in anyway not a good nurse. Anything you are rusty on will quickly be polished. Hope you love the job and woooo to higher pay!

I hope whoever you first told at your office sat right down and burst into tears. xD

And isn't it SO EXCITING to have to click through to a new page to read everything on your friends' page?! That hasn't happened in ages!

Congrats on both counts (the appointment and the job). I hope both things make huge improvements in your life.

*Hugs*
