I like do nothing days

Next Monday, I start my IPPE2 Rotation at a relatively rural hospital pharmacy. I'm half excited, half just wanting to keep on chillin at home. Don't get me wrong, I've done a lot this week. And it's not that I don't want to learn about hospital pharmacy, it's interesting. It's just the commitment of having to do something, I think, that I don't like. This semester was ROUGH. It was enough just to get through it all, academically, and with all the changes at home and such.
New tenants, new job for Jon, new childcare arrangements, it all just makes my head spin again. I guess maybe I needed more than a week to recover?

Had a diner breakfast date today with the a Mabester and my friend Emily, it was nice. Came home, tidy-ed a bit. Tried to catch up on some emails (gosh I have such a short attention span for cleaning my in-box...) locate some of the paperwork I need for the hospital...Plotting a post dishes-nap bike ride for this afternoon, or whenever the sky looks convincing. It's just nice. Is this what being independently wealthy is like? Shoot, I'll take independently poor and embrace my free time! Pesky bills and such.

Found out this week that the hours for my summer intern program changed, not sure if I'll be able to get as many as I initially planned. So in addition to getting paid drastically less than the other interns at my company, my hours seem a bit in question. On one hand, it would have been nice to know so I could have planned a little differently. On the other hand, I don't think it changes much. Luckily I love my job and the people I work with, and the community I work in. It's disappointing, but the outcome is the same.

I find that times like this have me considering all the what ifs, if I had gone a different direction when I decided to go back to school. Thailand has come up a lot. So have other, more random things, like being a florist, or ethnomusicologist. Or just a homebody. I've been listening to a lot more music. Picking out random people to follow on twitter, or blogs, some pharmacy people, some people doing other things I have considered, that I have come across randomly over the years. I'm still happy with my experiences, sure, it's just interesting to consider. :)
