Today is my final regularly scheduled day at work. Here I am wishing they would call and tell me not to come in because the census dropped and they don't need me.
Though it's far more likely that another nurse called in sick already. My replacement called in sick yesterday, so I wound up working my regular hall. Since she started, she has called in sick at least 3-4 times. In less than one month.
They asked and I agreed to work 2 days next week PRN. Though when I asked about my PTO, I was not given a clear answer. Not gonna work that way. If they do not approve my PTO, I will not work those shifts. No PTO, no PRN.
Maybe. I don't know. It would be more responsible of me to work extra shifts to maintain my savings. I cannot count on how fast the house will sell and I want to keep the savings up to a certain level. I also cannot count on what the house will sell for and making a profit. It's most likely but not set in concrete.
I've been doing various smaller tasks around the house before or after work lately but not today. Just taking it easy. Looking forward to having some time free without having to take work into consideration.
I still think I can get the house in good selling condition within 2 weeks. I can put the house on the market and keep working on it, once the primary work is done. Just leave the less invasive work for last.
One thing I need to do is make out a shopping list for the tools and home improvement stores. Try and get all the supplies in one trip. I know it will not work out that way but I can get the majority of supplies all at once.
Entertainment is something I have to keep in mind. Too often, I stay focused (obsessed) with a task and wind up putting myself into emotional burnout. To a degree, I have been using work to get away from the house and working on the house to take my mind off of work. Not a good cycle. Though I oddly find working on the house and yard to be relaxing. Not always but frequently. That is, this is true now that I have things in better order. That was not true a few months ago, when it was still badly disorganized.
Just realized that I met the goal I set when I bought the house. I wanted the house to be a place to escape from the rest of NM. Someplace different from the rest of the state. A refuge. A sanctuary. It worked. Now I have to admit to myself that I am going to miss this house. Not the state and city it resides in but the home itself. This is a lesson which I will have to keep in mind when I get to AL. Because I may well wind up in much the same situation. Influences may be different but I have spent my whole life battling closed minds. Nothing about that has changed.
Politically and socially, things have been happening very rapidly. I am sorrowful that it's not quite realistic to start my planned YouTube channel right now. I honestly think it is needed. To start it right now would mean I have to spend time and effort which I can't really afford. Maybe I'll change my mind on this soon but probably not. My goal is accuracy, which definitely means research. I could potentially start with subjects which require less research. More op-ed pieces. Still, it would mean I have to suspend the broadcast while moving and I have no idea how long it will take to get moved and settled in to a new place. Or get a job. Or anything else. Guess I could do short segments using public wifi in the interim. I'll have to think about it more.
