Good morning! Very early for me this morning. My friend Vicki and I are going to be getting on the road to Huntington, WV. Going to go through Kenova, WV where Michael W. Smith grew up and have lunch somewhere around there. Then heading to the Marshall University Thundering Herd Homecoming game. w00t!!! This is my first Marshall game inside the stadium. It looks awesome from the outside, I'm excited for the true experience on the inside. I am set with all my Marshall gear. Hoping to get something for Vicki to wear because she threatened to wear Ohio State stuff to the game... and I think she maybe shot if she does that (judging by the last encounter OSU and Marshall had 2 years ago). Anyway, work is going great. The other night was pretty frightening with a violent patient.. but I am alive, alert and awake. I must though that I love my job. The last 5 years of school have certainly paid off. The only thing I am encountering. which my co-workers think I should work on is the time I spend with my patients. I spend alot of time with them because that is just me, I am a people person. I love talking with them and really finding out how I can help them. Because of this I am late on charting and get out of work a little bit later. Well, I'm sorry, I think its worth it all.

That's all I have to say about that,

I am at my parents place today. Doing some laundry. Getting some business done. Went to Best Buy to get a new MP3 player. The original MP3 player I had was the victim of a fight I was involved in with a bee. So I dropped it and the battery cover broke off and I have been using tape to keep it on for a couple weeks. And you all know me and bees do not mix. So I traded it in Oct. 18th, however the headphones were screwed up and I had no user guide and couldnt make playlists with the new one. So I traded it in for a Sansa. Not too bad thus far. Plus it gave me some free music on it. I wanted to get a Creative MP3 player, because I think they make great players. However, Best buy did not have any affordable ones. I am going to play with it more tonight when I get back to the apartment. I got my license plates for the new car today. Word of advice: Take you Social Security card with you if you do not have it already on your license because you will have to go back home and get it and go back... and that takes much time. Thats all I have to say about that.
Love and Peace or Else,
Mel

I am alive. Update for me. I am officially a Registered Nurse.. that is 265 questions and 6.5 hours later. Shout out to the NCLEX people!!! Anyway, still at Medina General. Still in orientation till end of October. I just purchased a new car this evening. Actually my first car I have ever bought... scary!!!!! It is a 2007 Toyota Scion tC. I am following in the Robertson family tradition of getting it in silver. I last car was "Cinnamon" in color however every other car this family has ever had has been in silver. It is a very nice car. It may take a bit of getting used to a 2-door car. It is very roomy too. Decent gas mileage. I do not do a whole lot of driving anyway so that was not a huge priority. The good thing is that I am establishing credit. I have pretty much nothing to this point and now that I am making some decent money I can get a new car. I also have a new kitty. Her name is Jonesy. I love her a lot.. sometimes I do not like her.. but I love her. She is 6 monthish old. She is a cream tabby. The most curious apartment cat ever! Anyway, I am quite the tired little lad and am going to bed now. So that I finally have the internet, I will be posting more... for those who actually read any of this stuff!
