Ok, so I thought having to take the HESI exam so soon after my little Frankie's passing that I would do terribly and need to retake it AND that my first ICU day would be terrible. Not true for either! I rocked the HESI doing waaaaay better than I did last year (1121 this time - 927 last time) and my ICU experience was pretty anticlimactic. I did see some wicked cool wounds, but nothing dramatic happened. Which, probably was a good thing for my fragile nerves.
So, onto another week of awesome activities. Test tomorrow after Jamie sees the orthodontist. Our resume and cover letter is due in management (I hate that class) and then I get to go back to the orthodontist to pick up Jamie's newest retainers (which hopefully she'll keep at least 2 weeks before losing this time - geeze louise that girl). And then onto reading up on material for High Acuity on Tuesday. Crazy to think that there is less than a month of classes left, and our final exams are 5/2, 3, and 4 with graduation on the 5th. CRAZY! I hope to take boards on May 16, if not sooner. I can't afford Kaplan ($350 with our discount!! Holy cow!) for test preparation, so I figure I better get in there while it's still somewhat fresh in my brain.
The sting of Frankie's untimely death is already fading, which I'm surprised at and both alarmed and grateful for. The main thing that still gets to me is the memory of finding him and the tragedy of knowing that it was so preventable. I did paint a little ceramic tile to put as a marker in the flowerbed - and that's what is portable so that when we move from here, we can take that little piece along. I also stuck a solar-charged light out there. It's strangely reassuring to me to see that little wink of light out there in the darkness of the flowerbed.
Did anyone see Saturn tonight? It's viewable without a telescope tonight and tomorrow night (4/3 and 4/4) in the East sky. So, that's three planets (Mars and Venus, the other two) I've seen without a telescope, which I think is pretty neat.
