Over a month?

I know I need to sit down and write. It's been too long. I finished orientation at the new place and it's absolutely great. I probably run into material just about every day that would make a great blog post, but for the moment I've run into a little bit of a blogging rut.

As I said, the job is fantastic. I feel like there's constantly something new and exciting to see. There are resources at this place like I've never known before. But despite all efforts to the contrary, I trudged through orientation in a frame of mind that was... um, less than ideal.

I'll spare you the depressing details, but let's just say that I've learned a lot about surviving shifts with critical patients when my mind was anywhere but at the hospital. I know I've written about working while fatigued, but working while pathetically consumed by relationship stress can be the most dangerous of all.

But fear not... I'm now looking forward and not backward. I have a new focus on faithful friends, supportive family and a great job. I no longer "do" hot-and-cold, off-and-on, or wishy-washy. And I'll be back to write some more, just as soon as I come up with a unique perspective on something that strikes me.
