Woo for sitting down two days in a row to write.

I’m home from the dojo. I’m tired. My shin hurts because I kicked the crap out of someone knee. I’m pretty sure it hurt me more than it hurt him.

It was a good class. I can jump rope for over a minute without getting winded or feeling like my calves are trying to rip themselves from my bones. Hooray progress.

I didn’t stay for the second class since I have to drive up to Fremont in the morning to cover an extra shift. The overtime is going to be nice. I also got an email saying that on the 20th of December, my birthday, there is a tech who can work who isn’t meeting full-time hours at her own clinic. They wanted to know if I would be against giving her the shift. My reply was that I wouldn’t be heartbroken over not working on my birthday. I’m pretty sure they didn’t know it was my birthday. So I’m no longer working eight days in a row.

Work today went well. It was just me and the float RN. I still like her. I think she’s getting better. We still would have drowned if my FA hadn’t been there to help during change over, but overall it was a good day. I mixed acid for the clinic again. It’s the third time in a row I’ve done it without incident.

I guess there really isn’t much else to report.

Mr. Non-Complinence’s chair is going to be filled most likely Monday. At the latest, Wednesday. I’m allowed to go to his service. My FA will give me the information when she gets it.

I’ve already seasoned my roast so I can cook that tomorrow once I get home. I’m hoping to get out of work early enough to drive the two hours to the dojo in time for sparing. I’ll be mildly saddened if I can’t. I am looking forward to the class. I also wouldn’t mind being at home so I can cross-stitch. Ox and I are supposed to do work in the addition. There are also branches in the yard that we plan to take to the dump. Going to the dojo means I won’t be home until around 3 or later. If I don’t go I’ll be home before noon which means there would be way more time to actually do things.

There are pros and cons to both scenarios.

I have my hair appointment on Sunday. I’m looking forward to that. I have my trip to Denver coming up. I would like to feel like I’m at my best when I go. Freshly bleached and dyed hair rather than the faded purple it is right now. No annoying frizzy split ends. I think of things like getting my hair done and brows waxed as frivolous, girly things and I really haven’t done anything like that in a while. I sort of want to pamper myself just a smidgen. I’ve been doing really well with work, and life, and school. I want to do something for me… other than kicking the shit out of people since the dojo is definitely in the “me time” category.

I talked to Jon a bit tonight. He called so he could bitch about work; his own words. He got accepted into Nursing school. He had his orientation today. I’m beyond proud of him.

Eventually, at some point, I’ll get my cross-stitch project done. It’s not going to be this weekend though. Maybe next weekend will fair a bit better. I’ve been keeping myself busy so eeking out time to do it can be hard.

Anywho… I think I’m done with today. All I need to do is take my contacts out and go to sleep.

I’m hoping tomorrow goes as well as I think it will.
