Well, i took that first step. I met with a real estate agent today. We just got together to meet and so that she could get a general idea of what I am looking for. Now I have to meet with a mortgage broker and see what kind of money I can get. It's kinda scarey and exciting all in one. I'm not sure exactly what I want but this way I can atleast look and get some ideas. Hopefully by fall I will be in my own place. We will see. I will keep everyone posted

Exciting
Well, the baby is home!! I have been waiting ever so patiently and i am glad for Robert and Melissa that they finally have him home. I am sure there will be a few sleepless nights as he is on a very small amount of oxygen but he is healthy, eats like a horse, fills his pants well (very well!!) and he is perfect!! What more can you ask for.
I'm trying to figure out how to post links so that everyone can link to their website from mine to see pics but until then you will have to take my word for it, or go to roborr.com.
Later, jackie

A Long Week
Well, this was an interesting week. I was to work 6 eight hour days starting last saturday and somehow i ended up working 64 hours in six days rather than the 48 i was scheduled. I was only planning to pick up 8 extra hours but then the white out happened. Now, all staff were locked in at the hospital until further notice. Somehow our night staff managed to make it to work and we were given notice that as long as our ward was staffed appropriately other staff could go home. Of course there was the dilemma of day staff getting to work the next morning. Most had called in already to say there was no way they'd be able to make it so, being the nice person that i am, i offered to stay for a 12.
Good thing i like my job and the people i work with or there may have been some damage done to things or people. There were moments when i wanted to scream for every one to shut up, other nurses that is. Nothing like a crisis to bring out the true nature of people. I'm rather a laid back person and roll with the punches. There are others who can make mountains out of a grain of sand. Oh well, what can you do!
So, i managed to survive, with a cold and all. Today i managed to sleep most of the day away. This was after being awoke by the phone 2 times to see if i would be able to work today (one for cardiiology and one for peds). I'm expecting a call tomorrow morning as well. Being the selfish person that i am i am not going to go in tomorrow either.
Well, nothing really exciting in this life of mine. Too much work, i guess. Hope all is well out there. Later.

happy new year
well, it is the start of a new year and who knows what the year has in store!! i have many things in mind but they say life is what happens when you're busy making plans.
some exciting news, my good friends had a baby boy on the 28th of december. now with a baby boy and a baby girl to spoil i will be keeping busy.
i had a wonderful time with my family for christmas. i had to work over christmas so i rented a car and drove home, with my brothers, on the 29th. we were there until the first of january. four very full, fun filled days.
Allison (who now lives in b.c.) surprised me and showed up on my doorstep the morning of the 28th. between work and going home we squeezed in as much time as we could, which meant a decrease in the amount of sleep i usually get. but what's more important, right? it was great to see her and have her here for a few days.
in case you hadn't heard i have taken a permanent position on pediatrics. that position starts in march. i am loving working with the kids and there is still so much to learn. they keep me on my toes, that's for sure. i am looking forward to the start of that position as it means a change in my rotation which means less days at the hospital...but same amount of hours. it'll give me more days off in a row. much appreciated!!
well, i found a new program to do this blogging on so hopefully that means i will do it more. it seems much easier than the other one, or maybe i'm just smarter now, but i doubt it.
