I love the bay area.....

I am sitting at my apartment realizing that next week I will not be living here anymore.  It reminds me of all the memories and all the busy work that I have to do in the next week. My boxes arrived yesterday so now I have to pack and put my stuff in storage.  

For my birthday, I asked my mom to help me move as a present.  She will be coming down on Monday night and will help..or suffer with me, as I move out.  I am so thankful for her!!

The next week I will be enjoying the freedom....sleeping in, going to SFMOMA, spending time with some good friends, and soaking up thoughts of the bay area (I will miss it!!).  

I will continue to update my progress......

The last three nights.

I only have three more nights of work left at LPCH. That is 36 more hours....of staying up all night. It is both sad and exciting that I only have such a short time. Here are some things that I will miss:
1. All the wonderful people that I have worked with. Over the last three years, I have made some great friends and learned so much. The nurses at LPCH are the most caring nurses out there and I have been lucky to work with them.
2. The patients. Whether here for a short time, or here for an eternity, many patients (and their families) have touch my life and given me memories that I will never forget.
3. Learning. Everyday I see or hear about something that I have never seen or heard about before. I love that in nursing there is always more to learn and ways to improve.

I may be back, I may not....but I will forever value my time spent at Packard.
