You're Application Has Been Approved

I'm going to be AWOL for a short time again, Yes almost a month in between posts is a short time, as our rental application was approved this morning at 1000hrs.


I'm so excited I can't think of where to start packing. We can have the keys by the end of the week!!
Fingers crossed nothing goes wrong.

Hallelujah! or Houston We Have a Camera

After many torturous weeks within in which I have attempted to save money to buy Boyfriend a camera to replace the one I killed in Ecuador (See previous blog), He celebrated his 21st birthday and lo and behold was gifted a rather neat little red one. I can only assume the red makes it go faster.
Which brings me back to why I started blogging in the first place.

If anyone actually reads my blog they will know I was inspired by another blog and felt that it would be 'easy' and much more fun then studying to bitch, whinge and moan about the difficulties of being alive in a day and age when you can have a sook about anything and people HAVE to listen.

It had been so frustrating to not burn little baked goods and be unable to share my epic level abilities to master the most basic of recipes. But alas I may be moving very soon, fingers crossed, and will have to learn a whole new oven and anyone who has moved houses as much as I have knows that with great ovens come great responsibilities.

Namely the responsibility to not eat everything you bake and to actually *shudder* share with other people.
I figure one day I'll end up in a cardiac ward myself as a fat old lady who couldn't say no to a slice or cake but I'll be a happy fat, old lady. Perhaps I'll justify it by being an epic grandmotherly type who tries to fatten up everyone around me.
Happy Baking.

Cardio Cath Lab or the Ward?

The past week and a half has been pretty full on for me, to date I have watched 5angiographs, a TOE, multiple attempts at venepunctures, 1 stent procedure and a pacemaker change.
Naturally I am now conflicted as to whether or not surgical nursing is for me, one the one side it's very straightforward with set procedures done each day but on the other hand it's very straightforward with set procedures done each day.
I actually enjoy working with patients and I love getting to hear their stories, when I can, but unfortunately for me a nurse doesn't always have the time to chat with patients more and some just flat out don't want to talk anyway.
So far so good.
