Last Day at USH!

Today was my last day of work at the Utah State Hospital!  I can't even believe it, this is surreal to me.  I feel like I am going to work tomorrow like usual. Thank goodness I am not because it is 11:45 pm, my stomach has been killing me all day (what is the deal, geesh, its been doing this a LOT--of course I am sure working so many hours doesn't help...), and I am just beat!  I worked 16 hours today, and I am so happy I got to end my stint at USH on my favorite unit of all time: Children's!  

When the UND (the big boss there) found out it was my last day, she went above and beyond (she had already stayed there several extra hours beyond her normal shift), drove to the Cocoa Bean, and bought me a Nutter Butter Cupcake!  So delicious, never ever had it before, but it was so good! Who could make a cupcake taste like a nutter butter cookie??!  Well, they did it..

Anyways that was very nice of her, and she kind of has a reputation of being involved in kicking several long-term employees off of the unit...ahem..scary....but she said that if I ever needed a reference letter or anything, just let her know.  Sweet!  Way nice of her.  

I admit, I am really, really nervous about this whole California thing. After living in Utah for so long, I guess I have grown to appreciate it.  I don't think I want to stay in Utah forever or anything, or raise my family here, but I don't think I really want to raise my family in California, either. I love that state for its beauty. It has a lot of fun things to do.  But the culture there, and the lack of morals, and the economic mess....I just don't feel like its a good choice.  My whole family is there, though, which is the only reason I would consider staying there. I guess I will come to that bridge someday. 

Anyway, I am kind of glad I am not going to be working there anymore....It's been good, but man, it wears on you having to take care of people all day.  (Not that it isn't rewarding....but it is also stressful. My tummy is feeling better already.....)

Byeeee!!
