Bad Blogger!

So I haven't written in over a month. But it's not my fault! I've been busy. Where should I start? Let's see...

Work. The ER has been busy, but fun. I'm still technically in orientation, but most days I work on my own because we've been so short-staffed. I passed my EKG and ACLS classes, meaning I can now take care of any patient, push just about any drug, and run a code. Terrifying, I know. We had a 20-something guy come in with a knife wound in his back, so they put the ER in lockdown mode. I didn't even know that could happen! I also saw a blood alcohol level of 0.46 on New Year's Day. Pretty exciting stuff.

Volleyball. The winter season started up a few weeks ago, and it's nice to be playing again. With the writer's strike still going on, it's nice to have something to do on Thursday evenings.

Health. I'm getting over a nasty cold that's been lingering for a week. It started with a really runny nose and sneezes. Then I got super congested, and although I appreciated having back control of my nasal secretions, I felt like I had a head full of snot. Not good. And then in a Cold-Eeze-induced stupor, I registered for Grandma's Marathon on June 21st.

Friends. A girl I used to work with got married earlier this month, and her reception was at the MN History Center. That is such a cool building! The wedding was lovely, and each table had a cake on it - my kind of centerpiece!
I met St. Colette friends Caryn and Stacey at Caryn's condo in Chicago last weekend. We drank too many piña coladas and somehow I ended up signed up for Match.com. I'm still not really sure how the whole thing works, but I'm trying to figure it out.

Sisters. Meg and Joel and the kids were living with me for 10 days while their kitchen was being remodeled. They are in California now, and they totally needed a vacation from me. My place is not that big and I think they were all getting cabin fever. I enjoyed the company, though! Ellen and her boyfriend are planning on moving in together sometime this spring/summer! So exciting! I think they're going to be looking in the Wicker Park area of Chicago, but don't quote me on that.

I've got to get my day moving now. There are dishes and laundry to be done!
