Obviously I Suck... Whoops

So obviously I suck, and I would tell you to get over it if I were already over it.

I just re-read my post from more than a literal year ago, and just high-fived myself in my head. Because I can. And because I am so so so proud of my writing post-college. It's the little things.

And I have never been more proud of my professional self. And over the course of this blog post (and hopefully more to follow p.s. I suck at routine) I will explain to you, avid, avid reader, why I cannot be an adult yet, but I'm up for some award in dabbling in stupidity and over-exertion like I always do.

So, let's catch you up since I've been doing a horrible job at that thing I'm supposed to be doing for my own sanity.

Since July 15, 2013 I have:

- started a new position as a OR RN Resident

- graduated and become an OR RN I

- joined AORN

- become a Board Member of AORN

- traveled to an AORN conference

- signed up for more AORN conferences

- signed up to be a delegate for the Dallas AORN at Nationals

- been through a hefty amount of healthy or unhealthy relationships lasting from nights to months 

- found a potentially all-in mate

- got an old piercing back

- got a new piercing

- got a tattoo

- went to Miami

- went to Vegas

- went to ATX for fun

- went to HTX for friends

- been in 2 weddings

- been a part of 2 divorces (or near-divorces)

- had 2 very close friends die

- lost my online, one-email-a-night, diary

- forgot how much I love to write, and draw, and paint, and etc.

- forgot how much I hate laundry (I swear it just sits on your bed and stares at you)

- renewed my love for football

- and hockey

- and my family

- found a new love in boxing (no really, I couldn't live without boxing)

- found I can be relatable

- found I can be completely, unapologetically un-relatable

- forget how I act when I drink more than coffee

- renewed friendships

- signed up for grad school (what was I thinking)

- said "see you later" because "good bye" was too hard

And so, dear reader, I couldn't tell you what's been more fun. Finding what I'm good at, or finding what I should never do again. But I will tell you that traveling is on my mind. And puppies are on my mind. And in the near future (whatever near means to your own person), I could have a white picket fence type of life. That I never, ever, in a million years, thought I would achieve.


So now, here is my "thing". I want to make a vlog, but this blog will suffice for the time being. I want to make an advice book for young OR RNs (because I cannot fathom what other nurses do during their shifts because it is all SO FOREIGN) and this is gonna jump-start something or another.

So, let's back up shall we?..
