I saw the crazy guy by my building yesterday. He was completely lucid and talking on a flip phone. He paid absolutely no mind to me. I kept walking again though.
I'm a major grump today. My parents left yesterday, which fucking blows. But I was looking forward to getting back to a normal routine today. At 930,fucking daycare calls and says ds has pink eye and has to go. I pick him up and he looks FINE. No redness, and they can't even tell me for certain which eye. She says it was "REEEEEALLY goopy after breakfast." So I'm frustrated, but thankfully my job is flexible and I figure I'll run him to the dr, confirm he's fucking fine, and go back to work. Except I can't get an appt until 1130, and by the time we finish, DS has missed lunch and some of nap time. So by the time I bring him home and feed him and let him nap, it would be 4pm by the time I got back to work. So I stayed home and burned a day of pto AND missed an important meeting after having just taken 2 days off. UUUGGGGHHH. Oh and ds accidentally headbutted me in the nose so hard that I was sobbing. And he was laughing. Tiny turd.

David weighed 14lbs at his two month appointment Tuesday. Holy crap, no wonder my arms and back are sore. So I went on a shopping spree for 6mos clothes. I guess this nursing thing is working out
I need some pants and shoes for school. Nothing fits-- In a GOOD way. Man I was big before David-I hardly recognize myself in my license from last year.
I am ready for a new job. 3 years ago when we left the city I left a physical therapy job in an out patient setting where I had every weekend and most holidays off. I now work at an in patient rehab hospital where I work one weekend a month and most holidays. In some ways the work is so much more rewarding. I am helping people to rehabilitate to get back some level of function. Helping people learn how to walk and move again. But many of our patients are very very sick and many times we rehab them and send them off to wherever they go next ( home, SNF) and they die shortly after. It is emotionally exhausting and I want to be done. I almost gave my notice today without having another job lined up.
I could easily get a per diem job and make more money, but most per diem jobs in my field are in skilled nursing facilities and want weekend and holiday coverage. $$$, but nursing homes are hard places to work. I want a nice m-f 9:00 - 2:00 or 3:00 job with holidays off. I am at an impasse. I love my coworkers but the benefits are crap and I am kind of emotionally drained by it.

What about working with kids? A friend of mine moved from per diem geriatrics to pediatric pt and is so much happier.

I don't have any interest in working with kids. I like geriatrics. Love that age group. Just. It in that particular setting. It is intense.
