Before this string of work shifts, I wrote blog posts, wrote school discussion posts, prepped food, washed laundry….but I did not get a post written for today.
And last night as I was getting ready to drive home from work, I realized this error.
Whoops.
I almost never miss a weekday of blogging, and I know some of you worry about me when I don’t post, so…I’m fine!
Training is going great, and I love my job even when it’s this many days in a row.
I’m learning so many new skills (I even put an NG tube in a patient this week!) and I’m feeling more and more competent by the day.
But I will be very glad to have a string of days off, starting tomorrow. I need some time to live the non-hospital parts of my life. 😉
I promise I will be back with Thankful Thursday tomorrow!

NG tube? No idea what that is but congrats!

Kristen, you are so kind to think of your readers' concern. However, you deserve a day-off from blogging! Perhaps keep a template post that simply says "Taking the day off" that you can easily publish when you want/need a day off from blogging?

Now that you are in the outside of home working world, you're working smarter not harder. While I can't speak for others, after 47+ years in the working world, I don't get too het up if you miss a day or two.

You need a day off from blogging, too. That schedule you just did is brutal. Congratulations on the successful NGT placement! Enjoy your days off!

Full-time work definitely disrupts life. But I think a work schedule is preferable to a school schedule, when you NEVER feel “off” because there is always more to study.
Thank you for checking in!
