What A First Week of October!!

I started my new job last Monday - it's been overwhelming with trying to learn everything, but I love it!  I love being back in the medical field in patient care. The people I work with are all so nice and welcoming.  I know it will get easier as I get more comfortable with the instruments and my own growth in learning the pace and routines.  The patients have all been super sweet with my shadowing other techs and slowing down their appointments a bit.  I had a training manager in with me on Friday and she was beyond wonderful and put me at ease. I'm honestly looking forward to going to work this week, which is a HUGE departure in how I felt about my last position working in the automotive industry. *shudder*

Saturday we checked out the Ren Fest - we have one of the biggest in the US and I believe one of the first to be a permanent structure. Its been around since 1977.  I had a great time, logged a tad over 5 miles walked but lost a pair of Nikes in the process.  We'd had a rain off and on for a few days last week and Ren Fest was still a muddy mess. I did wear my oldest pair so I guess I officially have trashy shoes now for when you need that pair of "eh they are screwed up anyway tennis shoes" for doing crap jobs!

The other casualty of the week was the microwave. Friday it decided it had warmed up all the leftovers and popped all the popcorn it was ever going to and just said nope - fuck this I quit. Apparently, the thing has a megatron thingy bobber in it that is pretty much the heart of the whole thing and mine decided to retire.  We went to today to pick a new out and a gorgeous new red model is now sitting on my counter. I felt 48 hours was a proper mourning period for it, I thanked it for 2 years of service and then pulled it off the counter.

I have Monday off this week so I will run a couple of errands, wash up my scrubs for next week and just chill to get ready for the upcoming week.  I may also hit the gym, depending on how sore I still am from carrying my niece quite a bit Saturday.  She was all about her Auntie Saturday and I was more than okay with that. Whats your upcoming week looking like??
