This and That

Today I blog about lots of stuff!

1. Tri training update. I am doing sooooooo much better on the bike thanks a greater understanding of the gears on the road bike. Hopefully I won't get toasted on the hills in my next group ride! I am looking forward to some good run training in Alaska where is it much cooler!

2. The house! It's absolutely awesome! The sod is down there is carpeting..all the little things are going in and WE CLOSE ON THE 30th! I can't believe it! We actually have the final walk through the day we fly back into Charlotte (red -eye from Anchorage!)...can any one say Chi Tea for me!

3. ALASKA! We leave in less than 10 days! I have been busy this week booking tours and "adventures." I can't wait...and you better believe there will be a blog just for that when we get home!

4. Work. Blah! While most everyone is looking forward to a 3 day weekend...I am gearing up to work it! 3 twelve hour shifts in a row! Yikes! From what I have observed, weekends and holidays are either pretty slow...or really, really busy. Despite working away the holiday...I am feeling more and more confident with all the new protocols and how to find things on the unit. I really do like the people I work with and the patients. Please keep you fingers crossed that all is well in the medical world this weekend! Regardless...after the 3 days stretch only 2 more work days until we fly out!

Happy 4th to everyone! Be safe!
