This week, I am grateful:
for the green that’s spreading by means of the trees
I know this comes about each and every spring, but my goodness, each individual yr I am astonished at just how speedily the trees go from bare and brown to getting a visible environmentally friendly tinge to getting decidedly green.
I enjoy to enjoy this!
for a lovely working day yesterday
The weather was ideal (70s and sunny!). I had an OB lecture all morning, and after I obtained dwelling, I went for a wander in the wonderful sunshine.
Then I lifted some weights, showered, and ate my lunch on my front techniques.
When I ate, I watched the bumblebees, who are at the moment obsessed with a bush in entrance on my property, and I texted with Sonia (she’s presently house/dogsitting for a person who has a waterfront dwelling. Blessed lady!)
Up coming, I ran some errands (which bundled observing Zoe at her task), performed my piano just for entertaining, had a cellphone simply call with Lisey, baked some enchiladas for evening meal, and then had my divorce assist group meeting.
Very little about the day was terribly extraordinary, but it was nice in so several methods, and I am thankful to have days like this. 🙂
that I employed my my full rotisserie rooster
A major chicken from Sam’s Club is a whole lot for Zoe and me, but I used it up in a large amount of different approaches, and now the bones are in the freezer waiting to be built into broth at some issue.
that I am just not grossed out by incredibly significantly
I watched a wound dressing improve on a single of my med surg scientific times, and oh, this inadequate patient. It was a definitely terrible wound that I will not describe here, and I felt horrible for the patient’s suffering.
The time Lisey bandaged up a wound on a pumpkin
Nonetheless, I didn’t really feel the slightest bit grossed out or faint or anything of the form. I severely could have eaten a sandwich while observing, that’s how not-queasy I felt.
This felt like fairly superior confirmation that I’m gonna be great in a nursing vocation. 😉
for sort terms from my scientific instructor
This was my past 7 days of med-surg clinicals (OB starts upcoming 7 days!) and at the end-of-clinical assembly with my med surg instructor, she stated a bunch of encouraging points to me, and I virtually cried.
my weary self just after my very last med surg shift
Each and every time along the way, when I get encouragement from my professors or instructors, I respond that way, and I believe it’s due to the fact I confronted some actually challenging troubles seeking to get likely on this academic path.
All those worries make this encouragement significantly touching…I really feel witnessed by people today in the industry (my instructors) and their validation feels so so very good.
that I get to do OB lab with a pal of mine
One particular of my friends from my lab team in semester one particular is in my OB lab group currently (we have a 5-hour lab), and she and I are the two so joyful we are assigned to be together.
We are in diverse groups/sections this semester, so we have barely found every other!
for all the appealing matters to see in the woods
I know I say this consistently, but I hardly ever stop to be intrigued in viewing all the sights the woods have to present.
Examine out this hollow tree that fell above! I spied it from the path and took a very little detour to go inspect it extra intently. 😉
So fascinating to assume it was just a hollow tube standing up for so lengthy.
Here’s my hand for dimension reference.
for camouflaged cats
Zoe despatched this picture of Shelley to our group chat, with the terms, “spot the cat”.
And then I sent this one particular with the exact same caption. 😉
They’re so sneaky.
