Balancing Act


Adulting is a funny thing. We have to balance money spent vs saved, fun times (like visiting the brewery pictured above)  vs work needed to advance our goals, emotional needs vs sucking it up, buttercup. At this point, I’m teetering on the edge of doing everything that needs to be done and doing everything well. 

My schedule for the next while:

Thursday and Friday I go to class from 8-1, then work from 1:30-4:30.

Saturday I go to class from 8-1, spend the rest of the day studying and getting 50 b/p readings for class.

Sunday and Monday I have 2 of my 3 clinical days, shadowing a CNA at a nursing home, from 6am-2:30pm. 

Tuesday and Wednesday I have work from 8:30-4:30. 

Thursday I have my virtual clinical day at the school from 8-5. Then I go to work after hours and finish up my Long Term Care Insurance paperwork so I don’t have to go to work on Friday. 

Friday the husband and I leave for a wedding in Nevada. 
When I’m not working or learning in class, I have to:  Buy scrubs, do laundry, return library books, clean the house, prep the house for our vacation, lock down our house sitter, pack, buy pet food if needed, eat, take meds, STUDY and sleep.

I’m sure I’m forgetting something, but that’s all part of the fun. F.   U.    N. Fun. 

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to cry for a while about my life choices and fall asleep before the brain weasels eat my head. 

Goodnight, loyal reader.
