Well, Now That I’m Officially More Than a Week Behind...

This past week has been...BUSY! I’m officially 8 days behind on this blog, so I am still going to try and recall the days and what has been going on. So let’s start at Sunday, May 19th. 

I worked this day. I have not been working a lot this past semester, and honestly, I’m only upset about it because of the low funds. It has been nice to be able to sleep in and study freely without having a prior commitment to work. Anyway, I got to work EARLY for once! I also walked the entire way to work, which I have not done in a while. It’s really only a 15 minute walk to work, but with Chicago’s crazy, unpredictable weather (I thought Florida was bad!), it has not been great. I had enough time to get Starbucks when I got to work, so I went back into the pharmacy and wow, I knew the craziness would be starting because of the line outside the pharmacy. It turned into one of those days where I only had enough time to put my lab coat on and then had to get to work. Of course since I am not consistently working, my password had expired, so before I could literally even do anything, I had to call for a password reset. Once I got past that bump in the road, I wish I could say it was smooth sailing, but man, it was a crazy fucking day. Phones going off like crazy, lines backed up, and it was just the pharmacist and myself until 1:30 (I think). I counted drugs like my life depended on it and even spoke a little Spanish in there too. The tech came in and she handled the customers to pick up and made the calls in free time, but I had overdue trainings to complete and I wanted to leave her with nothing to count when I left at 4. 

I left on time and went to church that night. I can’t say enough good things about my church and how lucky I am to have found such an amazing place to worship. It feels like my parish here at home (oh yeah, since I’m so behind on this, I am home!), and I am forever grateful to have been chosen to be a godmother because I found this church all because of that. Once I was done at church, I remember going back to Target (Target) afterwards because I needed bubble wrap. Remember how I said I was so broke? I ended up having to sell some of my favorite Rae Dunn mugs just to get by. I was SO sad to see them go, but I hope I can have them again in the future sometime. So when I got home, I packed the rest of the breakables up to ship out tomorrow, watched more Mad Men, and went to bed.
