MIA....again!

That's me, Miss MIA! I'm here, just horrendously busy. I did finally sign those fucking papers for the fucktard. I just want to be DONE with all of this. He finally closed (and my name is now OFF the mortgage! Hear me doing a happy dance??!) and is supposed to get the property surveyed and listed by January 1st. We'll see.

Nursing school is plugging along. My instructor really likes me, and wants me for our final semester at the same hospital. The only problem is, I really don't like her, and I hate the commute and the fact that I have to get there at 6:15 to take a shuttle bus to the hospital, because parking for us is MILES away. I had already emailed the Nursing Dept secretary, who assigns clinical sites, and asked her for one of the two hospitals that I did Med/Surg 1 or Nursing Fundamentals at. Hopefully I'll find out soon. I've been at FIVE different hospitals, but most people only two or three different ones. I haven't been at the same one yet, and it sort of sucks!

I'm finishing up OB now, and have my final on Monday. One clinical day left, tomorrow. I need a good grade on the final. I tanked on the last exam, a first for me, but thank god I did well on the first two exams. My average is an 86 now, with 80 being passing. I like to have more of a cushion than that, and I heard the last exam is really difficult.

The guy stuff is going really, really well. I'm so happy! Finally, huh?! The kids really like him, too, and I can't even tell you how happy that makes me. We're pretty much either at my house if I have the kids, or his if I don't. It's great feeling comfortable and secure with someone.

My house is literally falling apart at the seams. I've been battling mice since this summer, and they've gotten horrendous, even with bait and traps. Plus the whole heating issue is back again. I caulked the windows this morning, but they all really need to be replaced. No $$$ for that now. It's to the point where I am considering selling. It's just one thing after another, but the real kicker is the apartment house across the street, with the drug dealing by the teenager there and constant "new" tenants, for whatever reason. It is a true love/hate relationship with this house and neighborhood.

That's all! Thanks for the emails inquiring about me! I hope to post and be back on boards and get better at emailing back very, very shortly!
