So I said to Maxwell, "It's another beautiful morning in Texas buddy." I entered the door code to get in to the building and hooked him back up to his IVF and that's how I started my weekend. I'm getting a ton of experience with veterinary nursing the past two weeks. Not saying I didn't have the experience back in Chicago but it seems as my new hospital trusts my abilities a whole lot more than CVES did. They know if I don't know something, I'll ask. I'm only there to better the patients and if I don't know you better bet I'm going to ask a million questions. I'm very appreciative and I know I'm going to get the training I deserve here rather than being looked over time and time again.
My job is going well and for the first time in two weeks, I feel like I'm starting to "fit in." I cracked a few "Millie" jokes to which the entire TX room started laughing. It's just a matter of time before I start bursting in to song and dance as I used to. While I'm all about being who you are 100% of the time, sometimes people need to be eased in to your personality. Again, my all or nothing is learning to be a bit more selective. It's hard!
I've spent a few fun nights out with random folks, some guys and some gals. Every night out feels magical. It's times like those that I wish my Chicago friends were here. I'd love to share a coconut margarita with my crew and then scooter over to Continental Club for a night of trying to two-step (which I did fairly well last night, fyi)! I LOVE dancing and feel a lot less self conscious when I'm dancing with Chad. He's a decent lead and keeps me in check while dancing. He said, "Millie, you need a strong hand to keep you from being all crazy." I laughed, smiled and agreed that sometimes it would be nice to have that (dancing or not).
I continue to be impressed with all the guys in Texas. My, my, my....wow. Seriously. Most that I've met are such gentlemen. They hold doors, they stand up to shake your hand when they are introduced to you and they tolerate a Northerner stepping on their feet at CC while learning to dance. Of course the same holds true here, never get too excited about a boy. Chances are that they've got more going on that you know and don't have it in them to share that up front. Deleting someone from Myspace is such a silly thing......you see, as I've written about in the past, you can delete someone from a social networking site but not from your memory. So while you can hide parts of yourself from others, you can't hide yourself from yourself. Oh how I know that all too well. Of course, when there's good reason, you have to delete to move forward. I'm not going to go in to the instances in which I've had to do this but all I can tell you is, "Out of sight is NOT out of mind."
Be who you are. Embrace it and go forward. Don't sweat the small stuff (and it's all small stuff).
