Part 1 of part 1

I worked yesterday and chose not to tell everyone that I had a death in the family.  I didn't want them to have to decide whether to do something for me or whatever.  And, there are only a few that would actually care and give me what I would like the most....a hug.  It did get out, tho, and I had to tell Beth.  Ahhhh, Beth.  The best hugger in the world!   That is, girl:girl hugging....  I have this thing about fake hugs.  You know, they are similar to "kissing the air" when people greet each other.  Oh, I guess that's just on TV or the movies or something.  Anyways, Beth wraps herself around you and really hugs!  It was good.  I guess I needed that.

Hubby has been very sweet to me lately.  Poo!  That makes The Plan a little harder.  The thing is, he is always happy when I am stressed or down in the dumps about something.  That means he is in control of our situation and sees me as helpless and needing him.  The truth is, I need NO ONE!  And, I will not be sad for very long, cuz I have things to do, places to go, people to see! 

Part 1 of part 1 of the plan:  I sent my nurse manager an email requesting information on getting a full time position in the clinic.  She responded with "there is a position for a CN II and CN III, let's talk".  Well, I certainly have the education and experience for a CN III, but I'm not sure what that is, exactly.  One of my co-workers said I might be eligible for a CN IV, and that really is, um, scarey.  Yes, I have the credentials, but, I sorta like being a peon anymore.  I've done the mid-management and advanced practice nurse route, and it was just not right for me.  Money was good!  But......  We shall see.
