I have been lax in my blog posting lately. I apologize. I will attempt to mend my ways, but I make no promises.

Finals week as come and (almost) gone. This should affect me in no way whatsoever, being as I am no longer in school. However, the vast majority of my friends are still in school, so I feel as if I am affected by extension. I celebrate with them in the ending of this semester.

Work continues to be crazy and drama-ridden. We found out yesterday that, effective Jan. 1, our current nurse manager will be stepping down from that role, but remaining on the unit as a floor nurse. I'm glad she's not leaving altogether, because she is a very fun person, not to mention an amazing pedi nurse. I just hope the transition period goes smoothly, and that a capable replacement is found quickly. I'm not so much a fan of the drama.

Today I was floated to the nursery. Apparently December is the month to have babies in Abilene! (Not that you can pick a better month!) One mom even decided to go all out and have triplets! It seems it has been quite some time since Abilene has seen the arrival of triplets in one of their hospitals. Today, a news crew was in the nursery interviewing the new mom (who looks surprisingly small to have carried 3 humans around inside her for 9 months!). Unfortunately, my day in the nursery was cut short by my own ill health. Turns out I have a sinus infection. Boo. I have begun my course of antibiotic therapy, and plan to be completely over it by this time next week so that I can fully enjoy my own birthday. I refuse to be sick on my birthday.
