Another busy week looms in the balance on this Sunday evening. I am well on my way to paying down the bills as we spoke on in weeks passed. My Sep IRA through e-trade was set-up and funded. I’ve traded in the truck for a small SUV that now is less than half the payment and has a better APR with half the balance I was paying. I’ve also paid off 20k in credit cards. I still have a long way to go and am paying my dear old Uncle Sam dearly with every paycheck so I can get in the good graces.

Today, I worked at the hospital ... from pediatric code to sepsis and multiple cases in-between it’s been a crazy day. I was able to get back to my hotel in time to spend some time on homework. My math class work for the week is complete and now it’s on to business analysis with its’ primary focus being communication this week. The MBA program is challenging my time management and my brain in ways that I haven’t managed in a while.

This week is a 60+ hour week and call for the entire next weekend. I keep my focus on the benefits I see in the long-term as right now I sacrifice time with the family to get us ahead. We are seeking some freedom from the absolute need to work for thought of if things went sideways “what would I do if...” scenarios.

I’d say in just a few weeks I’ve learned a good amount on every level and look forward to the coming weeks in engaging with colleagues, growing businesses, learning in the structured university education, and then managing life around the critical elements.

This weekend I spent time on the farm with my favorite veterinarians and did c-sections for sheep. What an amazing opportunity and so glad I spent a little time with family.

What an amazing life we lead. Now it’s off to laundry. Feel free to e-mail me anytime locumCRNAs@gmail.com
