We just put up our Christmas tree today! I can’t believe it’s that time of year already. I worked on Thanksgiving, so it was almost like it didn’t really happen this year. And now, it’s like, bam! Christmas!
I thought that since, you know, I’m a nurse, I’d at least be a millionaire by now. ‘Cause nurses get paid, amiright? Unfortunately, I’m barely making more money than I did while I was bar tending. I’m still in my preceptorship, which means I’m still training and I don’t get any extra money for overtime or differentials for evening hours yet. I thought that this would be the year I could buy bad-ass gifts for my family and friends, because I’d be a millionaire, remember? I didn’t, however, take into consideration the massive credit card debt I accrued, or the student loan debt I have yet to start paying off. But I’m not going to try not to sweat it. At least I have friends and family that I can worry about severely disappointing, right?
I can remember what I was doing at almost this exact moment last year. I was trying to con my nursing instructor to let me take my final exam early. I made up an elaborate lie about how my family was going on a vacation to South America, and really wanted me to come with them and share the experience. But in reality, I just wanted to go on this Mexican cruise with a friend of mine. She ended up buying it, and I got to go on my cruise. Mexico in December is amazing!
Bye for now! Stay happy, and healthy!
