It was a nice way to end the working week.
Yes, I am back of work. Have just finished my second week back. It's had it's moments so far. I've enjoyed being back - especially the stimulus that it's been providing my brain (endless holidays can make you feel a bit dreary), however, I currently only have three students on my roll! for some reason, the unit is remarkably quiet at the moment - apparently it's quieter than it's ever been before. We only have five in-patients at present - in an in-patient unit that is usually full to the brim with all 12 beds full, and a waiting list for those that need to get in! I suppose it's good that kids aren't needing to be in there, but it does make my job a little boring. I won't complain too much though, because undoubtedly before long we'll get an influx of clients, and then I'll be eating my words! I finished so early today that I ended up having to fill in my time by doing some of my Correspondence School Maths...... still, I suppose its better than doing it at home, with all the distractions around.
It's my birthday tomrrow, and the last year of being in my 20's. This decade seems to have passed by rather fast (at an alarming speed would be a more accurate description). I'm starting to feel as though I'm fast becoming more 'adult' and it's got me thinking more about the future and things like having kids and watching them grow up. Someone once said to me that when you have kids you leave the last vestiges of your childhood behind forever. I have been thinking about this and wondering if I could do that - leave behind this lifestyle that we have become accustomed to. Adopt more responsibility and live for someone else for a change. The idea seems both daunting and exciting. I keep wondering how having kids would fit in with the life we have now, with my career, with our careers?? I am beginning to realise that it is something that I can't keep putting off, I can't keep saying 'in another couple of years'.
Anyway, that's enough ranting for one day. We're off to dinner now - am thinking along the lines of a curry, garlic naan, and a beer. Mmm.....
