I have internet access on my tablet at work! Yay! It's been a year and a half since they took our internet access away. Now I can check my mail, update my blog, and look up medications and stuff for work on our computer. Yay! So, I'm happy. Oh, yeah, and there's internet games too. Yahoo games is fun. I used to play those all the time at work when I was working nights.

I guess work is going well. I'm much happier being at work now that we have the internet back. Maybe I can stop being so bitter and cynical when I am at work. I like my partner. She's no Becki, but she's also not JD, so I am very thankful. Well, I'm sure I'll be back, but I'm going to go do something else now.

The last few days have been nothing but celebration due to Deborah's wedding. I was so glad to have been able to go to the rehearsal and the dinner. It was such a wonderful experience. I love seeing behind the scenes stuff. And I got to sit and talk with Betsy all through it and get some good pictures. It was so heartwarming to hear everyone at dinner saying all those wonderful things about Deborah and Lonnie. It makes me really glad to be able to know two such great people. And of course it's always fun talking with Jessica, and now I can say that I know her husband (and I know why she married him. He's so great). The wedding was beautiful, and was pulled off wonderfully. And it gave me an excuse to basically harass Adrienne until she called me back. At the reception, I sat with David and Kristen, Adrienne, and Shelley and her friend Erik. I love catching up on stuff that's going on. But I think it's better to not have to catch up, but to be already caught up, and stay there. So I vow to start keeping up with my friends better, so that they stay my friends, and they don't become my used-to-be friends.

I met my new partner today. Her name is Dory. I think it went well. We are the same age, she is two weeks older than me. And she has been an intermediate as long as I have been a paramedic. So she knows what she's doing. And we seem to work well together. We don't walk on each other's toes, and we go in and get the job done. And we are both silly stupid. We make faces and talk in strange voices and make bad jokes. And we both talk a lot. And we like the same music. And I think she'll put up with my talk radio so long as I don't overdo it. I'm scared it won't stay this way though. I liked JD for the first couple of weeks that I worked with him. And then I hated him. So I'm going to try to keep things good with Dory. I've already explained to her the whole JD story, and hopefully she'll understand if I have things that annoy me, as I will be understanding likewise. I'll update on her in the future, I'm sure.

Goodnight.

Wow, so it's only two weeks into the year, and I want it to be over. Ok, not really. I'm just melodramatic. I've had a lot of family stuff going on. My mom and step dad might be splitting up, but we're trying to keep that from happening. It all depends on a certain person's willingness to see a psychiatrist. But we are trying to keep things from going crazy.

And of course it's wedding season. Deborah is getting married on the 21st, as I'm sure we all know. I had the priviledge to go with her to College Station to take pictures in her wedding dress on campus. It was absolutely fabulous. I had a great time reminiscing about the old days and seeing the old campus again. Deborah is beautiful in her dress. And the drive back was full of interesting conversation.

I had a date earlier in the month. The guy is great on paper, but there was no chemistry. Frustration. I think I'm going to go for a friendship, but I don't know how that will turn out.

I have a new shift at work starting on the 21st. Goodbye 24 hr shifts. I will miss you. Starting in a couple weeks, I will be working Sunday thru Wednesday 0930-2130. It's not a bad shift. I think I'll do ok with it. At least I don't have to wake up early anymore. And I'll get some sleep. Mmmm, sleeeep.
