My last posting was sooo saaad. G, my hubby, helped me then. He talked me into positive thinking and promised to spend more time with me on my days off so I don't feel left out. He also knows his ways to get me into a good mood with his jokes and cozy hugs :). And actually the work-days after that day were so much better. I had so many complements about being a good nurse and even being pretty(probably because I did make up that day to get myself into a better mood :); and I actually started to feel more confident being on my own. I did a venipuncture and took blood completely on my own without my preceptor. She told me "go and ring the bell if u need help" so I went in and said to myself "You gotta get it!!!" and I did ...oh I was so happy! And I also inserted a sailing lock successfully! Plus, my nurse was so busy that day that I was on my own and I did pretty well and she also complemented on me as being " a strong nurse". Obviously all the complements boosted my confidence and I went to work the next night shifts in much better mood and I think I even enjoyed them!
Soooo I feel much better now, and my spirits are up! I'm having my days off and enjoying them. Also My Birthday is coming; I'm planning a party and getting very excited.

In bed and sad
I'm in bed. Getting ready to sleep, but I'm in such a bad or rather sad mood. The reason is just a little thing. Tomorrow is my last day off and then I have to work 4 days in the row. Because my days off were the days of the week we didn't even go out anywhere, so I feel like we didn't get enough time together in a different setting like going for a walk or restaurant or movie theater. Maybe I'll go shopping tomorrow with my friend or even on my own... I'll shop, browse, I'll do something for myself! Nobody will make my happy if I won't! There!!! I guess it's just one of those days when everything is just not the way I want it to be. I don't want to go to work on Sat and it annoys me that I have to work on the weekends; especially, when I didn't get any time together with G. during my days off because they're only my days off and nobody's else. It sucks!!! Oh well, I just have to bear it for a bit, maybe a year!!! We'll see...

A letter
I wrote a long letter to my friend from university who went back home from Ottawa. She found a job in a little town close to her home town, but we miss her so much. It's our little university group, 4 of us, that now can't meet all together as often, but we don't want to loose each other and we won't. It's definitely strange not to see each other back in our classroom in the fall. That's why I decided to post that letter here:
Hi A!!!
I miss you so much!!! It's been awfully long since we all been together. It's strange not to get back in September in our usual seats in RGN. But it's nice that we all going forward with our lives. As you said back in spring, Alissa, "New chapters" opened in our lives.
My summer was great! I really enjoyed it. I was very busy there as well. Everyday something was going on. We were going to the beach, I was meeting either with my friend, my sister friends, or my classmates. I slept over at my sister's place, so we had a lot of those sister time. We enjoyed it so much. And being with my cute nephews was a blast!!! They are so funny, they made me laugh so much. I came back with the feeling I have to have kids, I want it now!!! They are the meaning of the life, I think anyway. I have a small picture in my blog of the view on the see from mountains. I wish you were closer to us here. We are planning a little get together at my place to see picture from Russia. But I'm very happy for you about your job. I think maternity is a great place. and it's good you're not too far from Chris! Say hi to him from me, and Gevorg is saying HI to both of you!
My job is going very well with lot's of stories by now. I finished my 2nd rotation. I have a few written in my blog from my 1st rotation (http://katunia.blogspot.com/). (Let me know what you think). I'll have to add more though. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I feel like I had enough on those crazy days, which I had a lot starting from the 1st one. It's just crazy time on my floor right now. Not enough staffing and we get heavy loads, so I tend to learn on my own because we are both, me and my nurse, crazy busy and she apologizes all the time for not being able to sit with me and explain thoroughly certain things. But I'm used to it by now. I love this quote by T. Roosevelt and I go by it on my shifts "Do wat you can, with what you have, where you are". It helps me to get through the crazy shifts. BUT, I gotta say I loved that 1st paycheque!!!! That was great!!! At least you feel like u've been rewarded for doing this compare to our clinicals.
Oh, I have an idea! A, maybe you should start a blog too about your job???? This way we'll be updated and it's so interesting to read about your experience there? What do you think?
About the weekend of Nov 7th. I'd have to get back to you on that. I'm not sure about our plans yet. I'll try to let you know by next week. It'd be soooo nice to get together !!!
