River Junkie

My five days off have come to an end and I went back to work tonight. I'm laying here in bed hoping that writing in my blog will make me fall asleep sooner. I MUST wake up tomorrow and do laundry, buy two-stroke oil and try to figure out what the fuck is going on with my scooter.

The five days off turned out to be rather interesting. I met a couple of people who I really enjoy spending time with, one is completely unexpected the other is rather exciting. Both boys. Gosh, I'm quite boy crazy, aren't I? Anyways, I've spent a few really interesting nights on Lamar Street bridge and IN what I think is The Colorado River. I'm not 100% sure what it is called.

Last night, after hanging with a new friend, I met up with the other new friend and we went swimming for the second time that day. It was about 3 in the morning this time so we pretty much just went in our underwear. It was really fun and I'm so in love with Austin. My spirit is feeling more free and revived that it has in so long. I kept saying back in Chicago, "I'm in a rut." Here in Austin, I want to get off my ass and do stuff. I just hope that excitement never goes away.

It did feel good to get back to work tonight even though it was super slow. I enjoy working with Tree, Laura and Courtney (Heather too but we don't work together a lot). Tree spent some time with me working on my medical math and CRIs. We also did a few of my Treatment Nurse discussions. I need to do at least two of these discussions a week to keep on with my education. Today we talked about Nystagmus and Wounds.

I limped Ollie home. He's not happy and I don't know how to make him happy. I'm sure whatever it is that he needs is going to piss me off. I hate working on my scooter making me by far the worst Vespa owner ever. Maybe the points need to be cleaned like Durso said. I'm sure the carb could use a cleaning too. I have to hike over to the auto parts store (very short hike actually) and get some 2 stroke oil, new plugs and some sandpaper. With luck, that's all it will take.
