Highlights from the week

Highlights and insights into my week. I did not have very much time this week to blog, so I am trying to post things that come to mind about the week. This is an experiement....

•  I am off this weekend!! Yay! So excited. This was a rough week at work. I was on my own without my training buddy. Left some hospital beds up too high, didn't get enough linens, or have the hospital gowns ready when needed. Was it that bad that I didn't have wash vloths in the room? No, but my training buddy was always around saying, "what, you didn't warm up the wash cloths"? Geez!Yesterday was a better day than the day before because I wasn't so rushed for time and feeling like a dump idiot that isn't competent enough to do a pretty stupid job. The thing that makes me think is why those two days were so bad. I was working alone all week and I didn't have any problems, but I was working with different residents in different rooms.

• I made a boo boo with my boo. I guess I was complaining about him with my coworkers and they basically told me to get rid of him and find a better guy. Well, one of their complaints was that he doesn't pay for stuff all the time, and doesn't take me on dates and blah blah blah. So I told my boo. Big mistake. I thought me telling him they said something about him would be better than me complaining to him again about the stuff he does that I don't like. It really upset him, and made him feel bad. And at that point I was kind of considering leaving him. (That was before our nice date this Monday.) I still feel bad about it. Its even gotten to the point where my co-workers ask me what my plans are and they ask who is going to pay or if he's going to want me to pay the tip. I guess the question is do I really mind paying the tip, or paying for my cocktail because he doesn't want to pay for it...ugh. I kind of can't stand that. I'm fine leaving a tip, but paying for a cocktail? Basically I can't have a drink when we go out because he won't splurge. I get water instead of coke, trying to make it cheaper for him... I am basically confused as hell. All I know is I love him.

• I'm dropping one of my classes. It's the one class I have on campus and the reason I am dropping it is because I slept through the first exam. It was when I first started my job. I got home after midnight from work and worked at 7am the next day so i could make it to the class on time, so then I decided to take a quick nap and slept through my class, great huh? So i will not be getting my A.A. this May. My dad is upset about it but I can just take an online class over the summer or another time since I'm planning on starting a LPN program sometime over the summer or Oct. I'm not worried about it. It's not like I'll never take one class to finish my A.A.

• I have a spending problem. In this past week I have bought a new laptop, a smartphone, a machine that finds blood pressure and pulse for you, and etc. I really do have an issue with money. I recently was able to start a savings account that I have not touched and will not touch unless its an emergency. Maybe I need to find a book at the library, NOT the bookstore, since this week I spent over $100 there, about spending. Maybe my new Personal Finance book can give me the right messege.
