Day 7: Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Yeah right, try lonely.

     I only got about 3 hours of sleep last night due to the wind.  My stomach was still upset, but not as bad as last night.  I got up, got dressed and set off to my second day as a pediatric nurse.  As today was Friday, it was only a half day at the clinic!  Turns out, we only see the little children on Fridays, their sick and well visits don't take as long as the school age children.  I gave shots all morning and am proud to report that practicing the safetys at home, worked.  It is still very awkward for me, and I will still have to concentrate on it, but I can do it!  I met an awesome little kid that has an interesting medical condition, its called cystic hygroma, google it.  That kid is the sweetest I've ever met and a very smart one-year-old!  I was very impressed with it's (not being insensitve by calling the kid an it, I'm deliberately not mentioning the gender through use of pronouns in order to keep myself from violating HIPPA) developmental achievements!
     We had lots of talk time and Doctor Hodges brought us all doughnuts!  All of the staff spent a significant amount of time looking at the wall paper options for our new office.  We also chose a few decals to go on the wall.  I'm so so excited to see it when it is finished, I will be sure to post pictures so I can revel in the cuteness with others.  Stephanie, Tyler and I cleaned in preparation of the big move to our new office building!  I also recieved my first paycheck from Legacy, a per diem check for my job shadow day.   We were finished with our work day at 11:30, I stopped by the bank to deposit my check.  I'm happy to annouce the Wells Fargo is only a block away from where I work.  There is also a Starbucks, Arbys, Zaxby's, Little Italy, and a gym, only a block away!  Location, location, location.
     I took the day off from the gym since I'm feeling a little sore, and wanted to save my energy for the weekend.  It will be better for me to get out of the house to work out on the weekend instead of sitting around.  It will keep me busy so I don't notice how I'm lonely.  That is the plan anyways.  Since I didn't sleep too well last night, when I got home I took a nice little nap!  I played SWTOR for a little while and then got to talk to my aunt and my granny on the phone!  Their exchanges are just priceless, and even though my family is downright cooky, I love and enjoy them immensely.  When I finished that phone call I got a call from my love!  It was so very good to hear his voice and we were able to actually have a conversation!  We talked for 45 minutes!  We got to converse about soulful things, as well as joke around with each other, sappy pleasantries were also exchanged.  I won't lie, I was sad to hang up, and although I didn't outright cry, I did tear up a bit.  I am unable to fully express how much I miss him, and I try very hard not to admit it.  I realize things will be harder on me when he is gone and we have little communication.  I also realize there are couples out there who are already going through that period, and I  feel as though I have no right to complain about how I miss my husband when he has only been gone a week, and I've gotten to talk with him.  I still miss him, a lot.  I played a bit more SWTOR to make myself feel better then watched South Park Imagination Land to fall asleep.

My first pay check!

I miss this handsome smile :(
