You may have noticed it's been a while since last I posted. Much of the reason for that is work related. While I've never said exactly where I work, it's in health care.
While I don't have direct contact with patients, I work from home, that doesn't mean I and my coworkers aren't affected. There is a severe nurse shortage right now, and now is when we need them the most. Some patients just aren't understanding this and with many there is a sense of entitlement that can be difficult to deal with at times.
I'm exhausted mentally and emotionally at the end of every shift and while for the most part I do love what I do, it's not the same as it was. It's affecting my sleep and I'm often in quite a bit of stress induced pain. My creative juices have dried up considerably, thus the lack of posting. I've been reading up a storm though as that's one of the things that relaxes me and I hope to post some reviews if nothing else. They are slow coming too though - again Creative Juice Creek is running shallow.
But I've been doing a lot of pondering on my life lately and coming up with MAJOR changes. So once I get a few things lined up, I'll be back to let everyone know. I'm very excited about the changes coming my way and so excited to share them. Very mysterious aren't I?
'til later.

I was just thinking that I owe you an email and I'm glad you posted this update! Oh man, do I hear you on the Creative Juices thing. Kristie, I seriously used to write some good blog posts and I just can't right now. Anything that's not a review is just really hard - and it's not like the reviews are all that easy.
Take care of yourself and try to find healthy ways to decompress from job stress. I have family in health care and I know how difficult it is.
