just some inner musings

A day off at last. Two long days, the end of which left me tired of being so NICE all the time. And tired of dealing with people that have NO common sense. What happened to common sense, anyways? did it go out of style? Shheeeeshhh...
Yes dearie, it is time to retire.
After verbalizing my desire to go with the team to Indonesia in October, which conveniently leaves a few days after we get home from Edmonton, I ran it past the Bobber who didn't object too strenously, which I chose to interpret as approval. I then emailed Mathias, indicating my interest, and he responded within minutes, seemingly gleefully, and told me the steps to take next. Now I am waiting for response to my application to MMI, wondering if they will accept me. They are a Christian organization and one of their question was church affiliation, to which I honestly had to respond as "NONE" having been ousted from my childhood church for non attendance...So perhaps they will reject my participation, and if so, so be it. Not belonging or attending a church makes me no less Christian than the next guy, so whatever happens, I will accept with good grace. I am hoping to go however, as i would get to work in the context of a scrub nurse (my old love from training) assisting with cataract surgery. And the experience of another foreign country would be interesting as well. My 3 weeks in Nicaragua in 2000 was life changing for me, totally changed my attitude towards STUFF... and added immensely to my gratitude level.
We shall see where this leads. Gotta admit i am checking my email rather frequently.
Am looking forward to my sisters visit this weekend, and her hubby of course. We will spend some time at the fair, and hope it doesn't rain too much. And then there is the cowboy cookout up at Lone Pine, that was so fun the last time we went, and I thought they would enjoy it as well. Too bad I have to work Friday, but on the other hand, my friend is having her gall bladder out that day, so I am glad I will be there to look after her.
Time is marching on. Thirteen more work days until the big R day. Yippee! I am so looking forward to an entire month away from that hospital(at least) It won't exactly be a relaxing month, but just not having to go there is really appealing.
I guess that is enough procrastination for one day, gotta do some housework.
