Avoiding Assigned Reading

I am supposed to be reading this week's assignments and I have read a paragraph. I should get points for that. Then I logged in to blogger and read the blogs of note, went to the Daily Coyote to see how that beautiful animal in Wyoming is doing. Lets see, paid the bills, answered work emails and now I'm writing in this blog. What can I say; I'm a stellar nose-to-the-grindstone kind of student.

Well this isn't working...

I tried to go to work today when I was already in pain. I had taken a Lortab and was starting to feel better when I left, but the activity of just walking into the building made it so much worse that by the time I made it to my meeting, all I wanted to do was lie down. I called Mike and had him come get me. Every bump in the road on the way home resonated in my skull. I slept for a few hours and felt better (pain not gone though, its never really gone just resting). It is starting to come back again now and I just don't think I want to try and handle that again twice in one day. If this does not improve, I will run out of Lortabs before I can refill the prescription though.

I am trying to write a paper that was due last night. I'd like to say that I am not getting anywhere because of the pain, but it is really because I am a world-class procrastinator. If they ever give gold medals in putting things off, I will be in strong contention. Three classes in and I am hating this going back to school thing. But I have already spent the money, I am getting the damn degree if I have to kill for it.

Life update

I've started back to school. I got my Bachelor's degree in nursing at University of Phoenix online. It was a lot of work, writing a lot of papers. My writing skills certainly improved, but I write like an academic which can be less than entertaining. Anyway, I decided to go for my Masters in Healthcare Administration. Oddly enough, the writing skills of the people in my classes are not as good as the ones at the bachelors level. In fact, some of the drive me crazy with poor word usage but I think I see improvement as the classes go by. Anyway, that is why I haven't been blogging. I've just been too busy.
I also changed jobs. I am still at the University Health Care System but now I work in Quality and Patient Safety. I have a lot to learn. I am also trying to get used to working five day weeks. Two days off isn't nearly enough!
Mike and I are in a campground in Wendover. We decided to take a few days off. I need to rest and gamble. I have also had about a month of intense, nauseating sinus pain. I guess I couldn't possible too stressed; I started a new job, going back to school, and intense daily pain.
