New computer.
My new computer has finally arrived. Actually, it arrived last Wednesday. I have been so enamored with it, however, I have yet to post anything about it. This is mostly because I have spent hours tweaking and fine-tuning it for my technological needs (which mostly consist of streaming television shows) that I could never do on my laptop.
Speaking of laptops, look how little Mojo is compared to Henry. That’s right I named them. Henry is the new apple edition to the 317 family of computers.
In other news, I had orientation on Monday at my new job. It went well despite the fact that I also needed to have my 2nd-step TB test read that same day on the other side of Alton, among other things. I even survived driving all the way to Fairview Heights in the freezing rain to buy scrubs for today. My new set is ceil. Strange name for scrubs if you ask me. “Ceil” is an archaic verb meaning to “line or plaster the roof of a building.” These scrubs look neither like ceiling material nor the color of plaster so you’ve got me why their named that. I just wear them, I don’t name them.
When purchasing scrubs, however, I did NOT get “Grey’s Anatomy” scrubs, although they do sell them. Tempting, I know.
Since I have had orientation, I now know my schedule for the upcoming holidays. Some disappointments, I won’t lie. While I have Christmas eve, Christmas day, and the day after Christmas off, I do have to work New Year’s Day and a few days before, cutting short my excursions with family and friends. All-in-all, however, it is not so bad considering I just started and almost everyone in the nursing world has to work some part of the holidays. At least you will all see my bright and shining face some part of holidays.

My, my, my I do believe that I see Miss Stella Marie’s picture posted!
Such a smile I have! Such a smile!
She does get around and leads such a charmed life. Who would have thought one of the parade of dolls would be famous like this?????
Please do post a pic of you in the scrubs w/ the stethoscope - the works! We all can’t wait to see what ceil really looks like.
And, yeah, a nurse’s schedule is not always a friendly one - but what can you do? The place has to be staffed 24-7, you know?
We are all happy for any time with you we can get.

I agree…we need a picture of you in the new scrubs. Congrats on the new computer. It looks pretty snazzy. Now there’s (almost) no excuse not to get lots of your wonderful prose on here
