This is something I saw when I was walking around downtown the other week. It says, “As we build our city let us think that we are building forever.” For some reason that just makes me proud!

Technical Difficulties
So I’m house-sitting and the internet isn’t working very well. I had to drive home tonight just to submit an assignment that was due by midnight, but my roommate double-locked the door so I couldn’t get in. Fortunately the wireless is working outside the apartment, so I am currently sitting on the concrete in front of my door. Lovely.
Anyway, I hope to get it sorted out tomorrow and be back in touch with you.

Tonight’s Thoughts
Hey everyone. I’ve been attending a review session for my board exam for the past three days from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tomorrow is the last day of it. It’s good but pretty tiring. Oh, and this is my spring break as well, but I will spend the rest of it working. Some things that I am thinking:
- I want to do a triathlon and I want to train for it now, but there is no time. So I will postpone my plans.
- I’m mad that for the second week in a row there have been no bikes left at the Spin class at the gym.
- I have an interview with The Methodist Hospital oncology unit on Wednesday morning. If they offer me the job and it’s a day shift, I think I’m going to take it even though it’s in the medical center.
- I miss my fiance. I hate days where we don’t see each other. I want to get married badly, but I don’t feel like planning a wedding right now.
- Stephen King is a really good writer.
- I could really go for some dutch chocolate ice cream right now. Easter is less than two weeks away…

This Morning
It’s really hard for me to write anything on days that I work my clinical shifts, which are usually Tuesdays. Reason being I wake up at five a.m., leave at 5:45 a.m. (not usually enough time for me to get ready, but I refuse to wake up any earlier), and don’t get home until 8:15 p.m. By that time I am pretty much useless to do anything besides collapse on my bed. But since I did such a bad job of posting last week I am making it a point to write every day, and that means today you get this pointless rambling you are reading now.
I woke up about ten minutes ago, and it was not easy. Cleo had burrowed her way under the covers and was stretched out beside me like a human, and she was not eager to move. I love it when she lies like that, and all I wanted to do was cuddle with her for oh, five more hours? That would have put me at 12 hours of sleep which is about what I need to feel refreshed.
My roommate is using the shower that we share at the moment, and since I already leave myself less than the usual amount of time to get ready on these mornings I should be doing something more productive than this, but it is just so hard to break out of that dang morning routine. It just doesn’t feel right to eat my breakfast before my shower.
Oh, she’s out – gotta go!
Edit: I drove all the way to the medical center (not a simple task as you Houstonians will agree) wasting gas and money for tolls and parking only to find that my preceptor (the nurse that I work with) was called off today. There was nothing to do but go home. So here I am. And I can’t just enjoy a day off, no. I’m going to go to work! But first I WILL treat myself to a short nap.
