Dreaming

Right about now...I would like to go back 1 1/2 years to....

Our honeymoon.



A place where we "stressed" about what we would have delivered for breakfast after our morning jog on the beach.

"Yogurt, fresh papya, and granola? Or a fresh omelet?"

"Mimosa? Or, Blood Mary?"

A place where we pondered...."Do we lounge by the pools first, and then go to the beach? Or do we go to the beach first?"
"Should I get a daquairi or a pina colada?"
"Hm...this is difficult."
 


"Do we go sailing? Or Kayaking?"


Playa del Mujeres Cancun, I am dreaming of you. I know you miss us too.............

I promise I will even prush up on my Spanish a little prior to returning. That way I don't sound like a dumbass explaining how I want my Mechelada. (I think that's how it's spelled??) (for those of you who don't know...this is pickle juice, clamato, y cerveza. Yum)

I won't even complain about customs, or the $60 taxi ride to our hotel, or the dirty Cancun airport (the taxi-driver had us PEGGED as clueless Americans....)

*sigh*

I am sleep deprived. I shouldn't complain. I'm only a nurse. I was at the hospital 62 hours last week, because I signed up for extra shifts and I had classes during the day. That's not even close to the amount of hours a doctor puts in. I honestly don't know how they do it.

Yesterday morning when I crawled into bed after my 4th day...I could hear IV pumps beeping and call lights dinging. I could'nt get the beeps out of my head. I felt like I was losing my mind....

I really don't mind feeling sleepy -- but if ANYONE has tips on how to get rid of the flighty-stupidity that comes with sleep deprivation?! Please help.  Starbucks Trente is not an option, so don't even think about suggesting I chug 31 ounces of Mocha-choco-carmelato-hazel-achino.

I am back to the grind pretty much until Friday! Boy, am I excited for Friday!! :) :)

I hope you are all having a good week! January is almost over!!! I love when a month ends for some reason. Even if its been a great month.

And football season is almost over too! (*jumping, prancing, and dancing for joy.*)

We haven't turned on our heat in 2 weeks.

Envious yet? My friends up north? :)

I can see why you are dreaming about your Honeymoon! It looked fabulous - don't think I those pictures before! I think about you the nights you are working when I'm crawling into my warm bed, and believe me, I sure am thankful I'm where I am! I remember working nights, too, but we only worked 8 hours - more doable! And you are right about doctors - don't know how they do it either! I guess when they treat you nastily, you will have to forgive them as they might be sleep deprived!

Good luck w/ the sleep deprivation... It's tough. I have never worked doctor's hours, but my hours that i worked when i was at thue Psych Experiment were in the 60+ range and even when I went to bed, it wasn't like I got great sleep as I would have nighmares about work or would wake up at 3 am, think about something I needed to do, and get up and do it... So I know the feeling (although, not the feeling of working nights...). I hope the sleep deprivation is temporary because it wears a person down very quickly!!! I wish I had a magical suggestion! :( Hang in there, hopefully an easier schedule is ahead of you!

I wish I was at your honeymoon destination, too!! Talk about paradise. (Especially compared to your 60+ hours, sleep deprived current state.) Hang in there...I wish I had better advice than that. :( I do understand the feeling of "going crazy" that sleep deprivation brings, it's NOT pleasant. Hope it gets better for you soon!

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

St. Anthony, Where are you??!!??

So. Let's talk about my day so far. And why I suck at being organized. Do any of you know these people who always have it together? They never lose ANYTHING. They have a spare set of every important document, item possible. Every document has a file, every item has a place, every place has a label. They are always collected, have every duck is in the row. They live in perfection. This description is my husband: Ryan. My second question: Do you know anyone who's life is an absolute train wreck? They are always running in circles. They cannot be responsible for an important item if their life depended on it, because the strangest things happen to them. They never seem to be at the right place, or never seem to be on time. They cell phone often ends up in the refrigerator. There is always a giant debacle occurring. This description is me: Abby. Well this morning two people of this nature got to mingle a little. Well, they happen to be husband and wife--so they have to mingle withi...
