The Plan

I am a little scared of all the uncertainty life will hold after December of this year. Liz says if I ask for what I want/need and keep it in mind as I go, I'll be more likely to get it. So I'm going to draw a mental image of my life:

Same apartment, less mess.
LPN license.
LPN job with stable schedule.
Pay equal to at least twice my rent.
Benefits: health, dental, and preferably education (for my RN).
PTO.
Healthy body.
Sane mind.
No negative drama.

So there you go, universe... is that a tall order? Or can you handle it?

On the right path, going uphill

Nobody said it would be easy. I never thought it would be. I guess now is the moment. Where rubber meets road. Starting Monday I will have to be at work, clinicals, or both for 12 days in a row. Five of those days will be doubles. My "light at the end of the tunnel" is the weekend following those 12 days. It will be a 4 day weekend, during which I will do NOTHING.
