Best Husband Ever

I have the best husband ever. I'm sure most wives feel this way, but I really feel like I got the cream of the crop.

On Monday, I really wasn't having the best day. I've been very stressed out lately and overwhelmed with school and work and everything else. I called Carl on my lunch break and complained to him, basically bawling on the phone to him. (Not bawling, but there was some tears.) So, I go home that night, and the house is completely cleaned. (well, except for our spare bedroom. But that needs a full days work!) The laundry was done, the dishes were done, the place was vacuumed. He had gone to the store, cooked dinner, and had a candlelight dinner waiting for me. Even better, he started on it before I called him. Isn't he the best? Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve somebody like him...

Sleep

Well, I guess it's time to update this again. Clinical was fine on Saturday. I had the same patient, but it was better. I feel like I got to do a little bit more and am a little more comfortable with doing things on my own. My partner was still a little hesitant about doing things on our own, but it was good.

It's kind of sad...this lady doesn't have anybody to come visit her or anything. No family (she's a ward of the state) and it must be incredibly lonely. She's not really "with it", but still. I certainly hope that when I get to be that age, I have some family or friends to come visit me.

On some better news, we got our washer! It's nice...yesterday I threw some clothes in and fell asleep (not on purpose, but it was still nice). Didn't really have to worry about getting it out on time and stuff like that. It was nice.

Hmm...what else? Carl and I live pretty boring lives. Just school and work. Oh! I felt so bad this past weekend. I got hardly any sleep last week. I had 3 tests and was studying for those and then on Friday I was really sick. I didn't get much sleep on Thursday night because my stomach was keeping me up. I just went to class long enough to take my test, then went home and went back to sleep.

Anyway, the night before our clinical, our instructor emails us the information about our client and we have to look up all the information about what disease they have and all the drugs they're on and things like that. So, I was up till about midnight doing that and had to be at the hospital at 7 in the morning.

That night, we were at Colleen's and I was so tired. I laid down on the couch and fell asleep for about 4 HOURS! I didn't mean to at all. I felt so bad because Ken and Michelle were down from Peoria and I did hardly anything with Michelle because I was either doing homework or sleeping. I felt horrible! I told her that I would be better next time they came down. Hopefully, when school's down (1 more month!), I can get more sleep and not be falling asleep all the time.

Bellevue Branch

Yesterday was my first day at my new branch. I guess with the way the economy is going and all that fun stuff, Fifth Third (the bank I work for) is trying to cut costs. One of the ways is to reduce the number of tellers at the branches, so I got transferred to a new branch.

My new branch is in Bellevue, right up by the river. It's a little further away and takes me about 20-25 minutes to get there. It's a slower branch and also gets a little bit more crazy people in it. The crazy people kind of remind me of Wells Fargo.

One of the crappy things is that I'm going to be closing 4 out of 5 nights. That means I'll get off work at about 6:15 and won't get home until about 6:45. Then still have to eat dinner and so probably won't start studying until about 8. I don't know how I'm going to do it...

I guess what it really is is that I'm getting sick of working in banks. I'm hoping that by next semester, I'll have a job in a hospital. (I also won't be able to get my 20 hours in next semester at the bank)

Or maybe I'm just complaining because I only got 4 hours of sleep last night because I was studying for 2 tests today and I have one again on Friday. Blah...
