Thankful Thursday | Can you help me?

My hosting company is trying to help me fix the commenting issue some of you are having. If you get the, “Sorry, something went wrong” message when you try to leave a comment, can you take a screenshot and send it to me? That would help them troubleshoot the issue. 

THANK YOU! 

I’ve tried leaving test comments, and I am not getting the error message, so I would be grateful for your help. Also, if you can tell me what device (iPhone, Android, laptop, tablet, desktop) and browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) you use, that would help as well. 

This week, I am thankful:

that I am not in RN school

The BSN program I am in is not nearly as hard as the RN program at the community college. It does take time, and it does have some tedious assignments, but it does not compare at all to what I went through to get my RN. 

I’m grateful the RN education is behind me now! 

that “I need to remember this for the NCLEX” isn’t a thing anymore

All the way through RN school, I kept feeling like I needed to hang onto every tidbit I learned because it might be on the NCLEX.

But in my BSN classes, there is no such pressure. I just need to get through each class as a stand-alone item, and there’s no big test at the end of this degree. Yay! 

that I met a new friend at Fincon

I met lots of new people at Fincon, of course, but on the last day, I happened to sit at a table with a podcaster who has a very, very similar backstory to mine and we immediately bonded over that. I’m so glad we ended up at the same table!

that we got some rain

We had a pretty dry August, so I’m happy we got a little rain the last two days. 

that after this week, I’m already halfway through my first BSN class!

These are all 8-week classes, and the end of this week marks the halfway point of class one.

Yay! I’m doing it! I’m managing a new job, a new degree program, and my blog.

Whew. 

that I got my schoolwork done ahead of time

Starting today, I work three 12-hour shifts, have one day off, and then work three more 12-hour shifts. So, that’s 72 hours of work in 7 days.

Yikes. 

But thankfully, I was able to get my assignments done before work. That means I’ve got nothing due for the next 7 days, and I can just focus on work.  

I also got about halfway through my big assignment that’s due October 8th (because we KNOW I’m not the type of person who enjoys doing that last-minute.)

for whoever invented egg bites

I made a batch yesterday to help me with breakfasts during my shifts, and I just feel so thankful someone came up with this recipe!

 

They’re pretty quick to make, and they cover me for four breakfasts, which makes them totally worth the little time investment.

All I gotta do on a work morning is microwave them, toast some bread, and grab some fruit. So easy. And no cooking dishes necessary. 

(I use the recipe from Once Upon a Chef.)

that I finally got to visit a Winco

We don’t have those here, so Katy took me on a field trip to see hers.

I was amazed at some of the prices; like being taken back to the 1990s!

for funny pictures of my girls’ cats

I get regular text updates on everyone’s cats. 🙂 

Hawaii Cat:

And College Cat (otherwise known as Crouton):

 

Doesn’t that picture make you want to rub his tummy? 🙂 

What are you thankful for this week?
