I think I might have found the 'right' setting for work.

I am now placed at a rehabilitation hospital to do my clinical rotation, and I am loving it. I love the level of involvement I am with my patients -- that my job is not merely to diagnose a communication impairment or to determine if the patient is safe for oral intake or has to be NPO. Right now, I do that, and MORE. I do therapy with the patients; I see them twice a day and many times a week for therapy. I am learning about them, their strengths, their weaknesses and to use that to help them make gains in the sessions.

 

Life is pretty good so far.

 

I am looking for a car since my current one is old, still moving, and up for sale. It is tough when you have limited budget to work with, since I don't want to finance the car, and wanted to just pay cash once and for all. I hope something will turn up soon.

 

I made my first lattice crust apple pie.

Yeap. I actually made the crust myself, and peeled, cored, and sliced those apples myself too.

Definitely a ''from scratch" pie ... and definitely yummy too!

I hope your weekend was as good as mine.

 

Take care.

 

 

This is my 2nd full day back in Ruston.  So far so good. It feels like things are needing to be done, chores needing to be taken care of, businesses needing to be taken care of.  This feels like LIFE -- the daily doldrum of life.  Compared that to my 1 month visit to Singapore, this is IT. This is where I know how to get around, how to get through. Singapore was a vacation -- never having the fav. shampoo/conditioner I was used to, sleep in the bed I am used to, never having the right shoes to match the outfit, oh, heck, never having the right outfit for the occassion -- since I didnt pack much clothing to begin with.

 

I am liking it here. Home is where the heart is.

I think, I just might have found Home.
