My sunburn is finally at a bearable level of discomfort. I have never had sunburn that took a week to recover. And this isn't exactly recovered, it is just tolerable. I have this throbbing pain in my legs when I try to stand after sitting for too long, or from standing still too long. It was strange, if I kept moving while on my feet, the pain was manageable. This was certainly a godsend when I worked on Monday. I was supposed to work last night, but we are training our overnight nurse to work the PM shift, and she was going to be by herself for the first time last night down in our memory care section, and my boss wanted one of the other girls who was familiar with that section to be here to help her if needed. Which worked out perfectly for me. It gave me 2 days to just rest, and let my sunburn heal. Which is exactly what it has done. My feet and ankles are no longer swollen, I can actually touch my leg without crying in pain. There is long section down the shin of my leg that is still healing, which has obviously been the source of the majority of my pain. But it is improving at a pleasing rate.
I just can't wait to shave again. My legs are bordering on nursing school days kind of hairy, and I don't like it. This weekend for sure.
Also, when I opened up my iPad this morning, a beautiful thing was waiting for me. An announcement from Jack Johnson that he is going on tour again!! He is coming to Chicago in October, and I am beyond excited! They are having a lottery for who gets a chance at buying tickets, which I understand......but I will be heartbroken if I don't get picked! His music is like Xanax to me, soothing no matter what my mood is. I started listening to him my freshman year of college, and I've been a fan ever since. Luckily, Mike doesn't mind too much my occasional tease that I'd leave him for Jack Johnson if given the chance. Or am I only teasing? :)
My musical tastes are kind of all over the place. I go from liking Jay Z and Kanye West, Macklemore, to Jack Johnson and Ingrid Michaelson, to Christina Aguilera and Britney, Janet Jackson and Mariah, and I'll admit to not being able to help myself when Taylor Swift comes, and I'm feeling 22 singing along to her songs. Or the random artists that have a flash in the pan, and their song is catchy. I like songs, but it takes a lot for me to actually buy their album. Jack Johnson, for sure, will always buy......Britney Spears, probably only the songs I like. I also like a little country, here and there. Like I said, I'm all over the place, and it totally depends on my mood.
I am also excited for my new Life Planner. Last year, my friend introduced me to Erincondren.com, and all of her beautiful, customized creations. I have never been much into commitment when it comes to my planners. I would get one because it had a pretty cover, or if I thought I would find it more useful. I even bought one from Tiffany's one year that I am ashamed I couldn't bring myself to use the whole year. It just was to heavy and didn't work for me. So, I was a bit hesitant about plunking down $50 on a planner, given my tendencies to have a wandering eye and moving on to newer and better things. However, I have to say, I have used this one all year. I love that the coil is good and sturdy, and can take whatever abuse comes it way from being in my bag. There is always enough space to write what I need in it, and it has places for me to stash things like receipts, stamps, etc. Plus, it is just freakin' adorable to have your name printed on your planner in a beautiful design. It is in production now, finally after 10 days since I ordered it. I expect it will be to ship out soon, and in my hands by next week. I found some lovely pens to use on it this year that don't bleed through, and I'm drooling over a bunch of different designs of washi tape on Etsy. I'm gonna have a hard time deciding! I'm really excited about the design I picked this year, and I had them put R.N. behind my name. I didn't do it last year because I hadn't taken my boards yet when I ordered it, and I didn't want to jinx myself. New planners make me a happy girl! :)
