Well, I’m back in Tuscaloosa again :)
I worked Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week at the hospital. I put in some pretty long hours….10 hours Tuesday, 10 hours Wednesday, and 8 1/2 on Thursday. I’d rather do that though and get more days off! Work is going pretty good so far. I’m getting the hang of the computer systems we use, and I’m getting more comfortable doing “nurse” things without somebody watching over my back all the time.
I drove down here Thursday afternoon and got here around 5:30 PM. Travis and I warmed up some meatloaf for dinner, and then we watched our Netflix movie, The Proposal, later that night. It was pretty funny for the most part!
Yesterday, we woke up to find NO snow…even though they’d been predicting 2-4 inches. However, I checked online, and Alabama had still cancelled classes for the day, anticipating that snow would fall later in the morning and afternoon. Yay for snow days :)
The snow started falling around 9 AM or so, and it fell pretty hard, but it just didn’t stick very much…at least, not around our apartment. Around noon, we drove to Publix, Walgreen’s, and CVS, and the roads were fine. Typical Alabamians overreacting about winter weather! Oh well! I just hope UA doesn’t make them make the day up later in the semester…
Speaking of Walgreen’s, I got a free 8×10 collage yesterday online by using the code VDAY at checkout. The code may still be working, so try it out if you want to make one too! I made mine with pictures from our trip to Pasadena, and it turned out really cute!!! You can upload pictures to Walgreen’s website, and it shuffles them around for you into a collage. Can’t beat a free picture…I didn’t even have to pay tax when I picked it up :)
Last night was supposed to be the Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt, but Alisha decided to postpone it because of the snow/cold weather. I think we’re going to have a St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt instead in a few weeks! Once we found out the scavenger hunt was cancelled, I decided to invite everyone over for a game night. Jess, Alisha, and I played Yahtzee, and Travis, Jason, Tyler, and Caleb played Settlers of Catan. We all had fun! We also made hot chocolate and coffee for everyone…yum :)
Tonight, I think Travis and I may cook something together for Valentine’s Day (a day early). I’m not sure what we’ll make yet though…any suggestions?
I’m in town until Monday afternoon, so I’m really excited. I wish I could have a 4 day weekend every weekend until May…but I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much! 12 weeks until Travis graduates!!!!! We can do this :)
