And the weekend has come to an end

Man oh man. I worked seven days in a row from open to close (minus the last shift that was 9:30- 5:30- which is a normal person work day). Needless to say, this weekend was needed. Very much needed.

Friday was my first day off & immediately, my day started with my phone ringing. It was work. I ignored all my calls. I was still in bed. Attempting to sleep in. Eventually I got up but had to get ready for my appointments and errands.

I get several text messages from several co-workers asking to relieve a sick co-worker. I told the masses that I had a lot going on that day. But somehow, it was still MY problem to fix apparently. Do you know how beyond frustrating it is to work seven days from 9:30am to 8:00pm or 10:00pm (depending on my work location), not get out on time a single shift and then get bombarded with work issues on my first day of having a damn break? I was livid. The calls and messages were SO disruptive that during a lunch I had to shut my phone off because it would not stop viberating. Seriously?? And it continued. Do you want to work tomorrow? NO! I dont! I need a mental break! Stop bugging me!

Luckily, Friday was the only day I had to deal with all of that. The rest of my weekend was spent cleaning my home that was neglected for the seven days I was working. Re-decorating the house. Wedding planning.

I met with St John Fisher on Friday to see about Nursing school. I was all excited about it and then realized the person I was meeting with called in sick. I ended up meeting with someone who was NOT very friendly. I felt like she was judging my decision to change career paths. She rushed me off to transfer admissions and the advisor I met there was very helpful. She explained everything to me and how I should approach everything in order to get the end result I wanted.

I have a meeting on Tuesday with the U of R. I am much more excited about that meeting because it's an accelerated nursing program. I can get a second degree in a year and start working asap. Which is really what I want more than anything. I have some pre-requisites that I need to fufill, so it will probably take about a year and a half but Fisher would be roughly 3 years. Still half the time at the U of R. So we shall see what happens.

Joe & I spent a good chunk of the weekend re-decorating and buying stuff for the house to make it more ours. We added a seating area to our master bedroom. It is so pretty. Still not completed fully, but it's about 95% there. We added a nice TV stand on the one wall. And I finally set up my vanity that my Dad made for me out of an old sewing machine.

My new closet! & Yes, that is a gun. Shocker.
