It is a rainy holiday weekend as I write this. Iam glad that it is rainy as I am on call this weekend, and the swimming pools owned by the county will open tomorrow. I am hoping for torrential downpours so people will just stay home.
I did not used to mind being on call, but it seems that in this point of my career, I would just rather not be bothered by the phone ringing and me running to fix someone elses problems. Yeah, it's age and just the mundane 15 year in career thing doing it to me.
On a brighter note, I did start my college classes just this past Monday. The classes are going very well, and I am glad I decided to go back to school. It feels great to be working towards a goal and I anticipate all of my classes going well this semester. I have been able to write some pretty good essays so far as well as do well on some quizzes. This has been a confidence builder for me, and I wish I would have went back to school YEARS ago. BUT there WAS the 60 hour weeks and all the hard work that had me very very tired when I got home. That is the one good thing about where I am in my career now, I don't physically work as hard as I used to, which affords me time and energy to pursue my education.
I had a little scare last week as I was passing a fair amount of blood in my urine, went to the DR where he will be sending me to get a CT scan on Tuesday. After the initial shock of everything, I realized I DID feel some pain in my back and around my front side near my bladder a couple days before the blood. And I HAVE passed kidney stones in the past. Si, I am sure that is what happened, but better to be safe....I just wish the insurance paid more for the tests.
So, things are well. I cannot really complain too much. I wish I made more money, but don't we all?
Have a happy Memorial Day everyone, and please, stay away from the pools...give me a rest!! :)
