I am considering getting a new job as a travel nurse. I would only be traveling across town to Sierra Vista Medical Center. I filled out an application yesterday. There aren't any openings at this time, but they expect there will be some openings for January in the near future. It all sounds good and I am just trying to pray about it and see if things fall into place. It would be nice to make a little more money and feel like people care about the work I do. We'll see what comes of it.

I just got out a few decorations for fall. I don't know why I bother. It's not like anyone but Shane or I will see them. Maybe the mail man (I mean mail woman) will enjoy my little wreath on the front walk. I was debating as to whether we should even bother with Christmas decorations this year. I know if we don't, I will get depressed because it will feel even less like Christmas. It sounds like my mom, dad, brothers, and sister-in-law will probably be coming up for a few days after Christmas this year. Last Christmas was really a bummer. I worked Christmas Eve, got home, and woke Shane up. We opened presents, then I went to bed so I could go back to work that night. I jumped for joy when I got a call from work telling me they didn't need me that night. It was a nice Christmas present. I don't have to work this Christmas, but I think I will offer to work Christmas Eve this year. Lots of the nurses have kids and I know they will appreciate having it off.
