It's Official!!!!

What's official, you may ask? Well, over the last few months, you may remember me talking about getting my name changed. Today at about 11:30 am CST, I officially became Crystal Boggs!! I'm so excited to have my maiden name back!! Today was an awesome day. I spent part of the day lounging by the pool with a friend and then went with another friend to Build a Bear and made a commemorative bear to celebrate the day! I'll post pictures later as I don't have my camera or the access to transfer the pics! I just wanted to post real quick to let everyone know that I'm doing much better today and that I am officially myself again!! I have to get off of here and get to bed because its off to work for me tomorrow!! Good night all, cjb

Blah

So I'm sitting here, and again don't have much to say. I have been so busy working that there's not much going on in my personal life. It's pretty pathetic when you think about it. I have the next three days off and I've pretty much wasted today. I don't have the energy to do anything and I'm kinda in a slump. It has to do with things going on that I can't elaborate on here, but I'm working on them. I finally got out of the house around 3:30 to get some work done on the computer and here I am an hour later just getting to blogging. I just don't really know what else to say right now. I'm sorry I'm so out of it. I hope my next blog will be better. Everyone have a good week, cj

Trying to be better!!

So it's my next day off and I'm really trying to post more. The rain has finally decided to let up here in north Texas and I think that we may actually get a summer. It's hot and humid and we have a beautiful blue sky outside. I never thought it would be so wonderful to see the sun shine. I love the rain and such, but we were going on 2 months of rain. Granted now we aren't in a drought!!

Not much has been happening. I guess that's why I haven't been posting. I work almost every day and come home only to collapse on the couch or in bed. Today I ran some errands, but nothing exciting! So I'll leave you until the next exciting event happens or my next post whichever comes first!! Keep on keeping on!! cj

I will survive!

I know that this is getting old. I really thought I'd be able to post more this summer, but at the rate I'm working, it's not happening (obviously)! I just finished a 9 day stretch at work and am enjoying a couple days off to get caught up around the house (and online)!!

Work is a constant barrage of patients, family members, and fellow employees who need things. After about 6 days, it is VERY wearing!! Needless to say, I was at my wits end by the time 7 pm rolled around last night. I don't every plan on having to work that many days in a row again.

On the school note, I officially have five months left until I graduate. I picked up the cd with my syllabus and calendar on it Monday. It's going to be an intense few months, but it will be worth it. I am more and more ready to graduate every day. And even though I'm working myself to the bone, I still enjoy work. I'm pretty sure I'll work at a different hospital after graduation. There are just too many things that are keeping from wanting to work where I do now. I don't really want to go into them, but as the time approaches for me to start looking for work as a nurse, please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers. As ready as I am to be finished, I'm also scared. I will have people's lives in my hands. A medication error on my end could be fatal. I've seen some scary things working on the floor this summer. I feel like I'm more aware of what's going on than I was when I first started. There are things that I see the nurses do that I don't agree with. Time management is so super important and so many of the nurses I work with don't have it!!

Anyway, I guess that's enough of me rambling. I need to get some laundry and cleaning done. I just really wanted to update my blog and say again, that I am still alive!! Enjoy your summer! cj
