Well, I went to my "possible" new employers yesterday. They had asked me to come in and go observe an admission and see if I would like doing them. All went well... and yes, I do think I would like doing them. It would be quite a change from what I am used to doing, though. I would only have the initial admission contact with my patients and their families and that would be it. I do feel though, that at this time in my life, it would be a better career path. They are not "doing anything until April" though, as they "missed" the March training session. Ugghh... I HATE waiting!
Other than job change and moving, things have been going okay I guess. I know that I am still in a semi-state of shock over Ashlie's loss. I still do not quite rest well, its hard to explain but I just wake up so frequently and sleep so lightly. But I can tell you for sure that I am SO tired of being so tired. My mind also continues to "play games with me." I'm ashamed to admit this, but it is simply the truth. I find myself, on occassion, feeling as if I never even knew Ashlie. I know that it makes no sense, and some may think "how can you say that about your own daughter?" The analytical self in me wonders if it is a defense mechanism? some protective mechanism? I don't know what it is... but it is frustrating and embarassing none-the-less.
