So I'm on my own for 3 days… Jim and little one headed off on a Daddy & Daughter camping trip along with my brother and his daughter Ava who is also 8. I'm hoping this will become a nice tradition for the 4 of them.
We went on our usual "School's Out" cabin camping weekend with friends this past weekend at local state park. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Had gorgeous weather and a great time. We all rated this 3rd annual trip as our best yet. Best park, best cabin, best weather! We got home on Sunday afternoon and then did a quick assessment of what needed to be washed and repacked to send them back out for 2 more nights. It wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be to have the 2 outings back to back. Everything was already out and semi-packed so it actually worked out nicely.
Now… the 4 of them are in for some rain today and tomorrow morning so we'll see how chipper they are when they return!
Jim finished up his weeklong orientation at the hospital last week, and starting Thursday he's on the SIMCU for 3 shifts a week of precepting. I think he has 9 weeks of on the floor with a preceptor (a current RN ) before they turn him loose on his own. Last week was nice as we thought about real money finally starting to roll in for the first time in 4 years, but the orientation was… well…. orientation. Tolerable, not super exciting. So on the floor precepting should be much more fun and challenging for him.
Once we make it through June we should have some downtime together.
But this coming weekend Jim is working 7am-7pm Saturday & Sunday
Next week I'm in Boston from Wednesday through Sunday for work
Then the following week I'm headed up to Cleveland on Wednesday to help with prep for my parents 50th anniversary part that weekend and won't be back until Monday evening of the following week.
All good stuff, but a busy month for sure!
