Now its my turn

Enough waiting already!! Candace is in Vietnam now, Jodi has been there almost week, it's my turn now!! Well in 10 more days that is. I hope you guys are all having fun and enjoying the north of Vietnam right now. I heard that it is warmer than expected. Jodi what happened to your blog idea? I keep checking it and no posts yet!! I'm sure its because you are to busy having fun. Oh and I probaby shouldn't be blogging about this Jodi but the cat man had liver Ca that spread all over his abdomen, and he already passed away. So good call on insisting he wasn't a drinker to the Dr.!!! He supposedly left all his money (which I hear was alot at least for up here) to the winter road fund. And Candace I hope you are enjoying yourself, even though you must be exhausted after your stupidly long flight. Candace do you want to go to Ninh Binh with me? I'm planing to go there that first week for 3 days or so. And Jodi maybe we will hook up in the south in Cambodia or HoChiMinh. Vietnam....here I come!!!

Today I am lazy. I have not done anything. It is almost 1 pm and I still haven't changed out of my pyjamas. I love Saturdays in the north. When I am in the city there always feels like so much to do. Up north I work, eat and sleep, and try to excercise. I don't even clean that much. My apartment is always messy. Kinda of funny since my former house mates seemed to think I was a clean freak. I think I am more fussy about my own house, because it's my house. I own it, so I want it to look nice.
I am already thinking about my big trip (for next year) even though I haven't been to Vietnam yet. I'm considering a tour in Egypt, and then spending a few weeks in Turkey. I have found fairly reasonable flights. And the tour in Egypt isn't to exepensive either, for 16 days. I have heard that Egypt is not a safe country for a single woman. So I'm thinking about a tour instead. Of course there are the famous historical sites and it's suppose to be a great scuba diving destination as well. I hoping to get certified in Vietnam. I'm really excited about scuba diving. It's something I have always wanted to do. Only 3 weeks left until I arrive in Vietnam!!! Ok maybe i will get dressed now.

Well I guess I haven't made a post because I didn't think I had to much to share. Work has been entirely uneventful. That is a good thing. Trying to get caught up on the prenatal program before I go away for 8 weeks. For those who don't know, I run the prenatal program here. It is a lot of work because there are usually 40 - 50 prenatals at any given time and don't really get a set time to work on it. There are 2 full time nurses coming in March which will be good for the clinic. Since I am part time now, it might mean I will have to share an apartment with the nurse that shares my position. Which means I will only work half time (instead of picking up to almost full time as I have been). I guess that would give me the opportunity to check out Nunavut and NWT. I haven't done it thus far because it has been so short staffed here. I felt guilty when I thought about going there and leaving Oxford House short staffed. I already have my nursing license processed ( just need to pay for it) for the NWT and Nunavut. So that could be an interesting experience. I really love my job here though and feel wierd about not being here as much. But it has been so much better being part time. It helps to get regular time out. I have a much better attitude this way. I don't get as frustrated with the BS that inevitably occurs.
I have finally gotten back into exercising regularly. I only have 5 pounds left before Vietnam. I had put on a few extra in the fall and then Christmas (even though I was up here). As long as I am in reasonable shape for Vietnam. I am so excited for Vietnam. I love travelling. Well I made a post. Considering I'm not the blogging type, one post per week is pretty good!!! Oh and the picture is of the nursing staion on the residence side. (It was earlier in the year, we actually have alot more snow). My barbecue is covered.
