An update...can you believe it???

Well things are chuggin along in my world. Nothing major really. Well I guess one major thing is that I got to go to Vancouver for the weekend 2.5weeks ago with a friend. I basically shopped till I dropped. We flew down...hadn't been on an airplane since I was 10!!! I also hadn't been to Van City since Expo 86!!! So it was a well deserved mini getaway for me. It was the first time ever that I have gone somewhere overnight without ANY of my family...it was great (no offense to my husband or kids though) I can't wait to do it again!!! While I was there I got to see U2 Live!!!! Yes I did....on the Imax of course!! It was so good!!

Schools going well. Two more days and then I have spring break...woo hoo! I started my clinical last week, so every thursday and friday I go to the local seniors home and practice my "skills". I was so nervous last week...especially since I got put in the alzheimer/dementia ward right off the bat...but it was good...and dare I say fun?!?! I'm back in there tomorrow, so it should be another interesting day...and a day with me repeating myself over and over...but thats ok...its all part of the job.

Not sure what else to say. Feeling really emotional today...just took the dog for a walk and just wanted to cry...but I couldn't. Not feeling that hot physically either...achy, have a bit of a cold, tired...I know that I need to exercise more...I KNOW that that makes me feel better. Its just so hard somedays to get yourself motivated after being in school all day...but I know that its so worth doing!!! For my mind, body and soul...its worth it!!! So hopefully I can do alot more walking once spring break comes around and get myself into some sort of routine.

We're heading out to Alta. for a few days of spring break...we're going to J's parents place to see everyone. We haven't seen some of them since the christmas before last!! I have a new niece and nephew that I haven't met yet...so that will be extra special. It won't be a long trip...but its a much needed trip as J's brother and his wife and family are going to Indonesia on permanent missions in June, so we need to see them before they go...as it'll be a couple of years before we see them again! Sad hey? So thats why we're going out there...to see them especially.

Well I better go gather my things and my thoughts for my day in clinical tomorrow. I have to be there at 6:45am...yuck!!! Oh well...tis life!

I hope everyone out there who still manages to read this is doing well...spring is slowly springing on us...thank goodness!!!
