Well I took the daggone thing. I feel like I flunked it. Who knows?? The lady kept saying list details list details. But don't see how I would have had enough time to list as many details she was stating we needed to list. The other guy that took the test actually ran out of time on some of the questions. Ugh, have no clue. But the waiting game is killing me. All I have done is cry today. This is worse than when I took the boards originally. I need this job. I want this job. But it is all in God's hands now, nothing else I can do to help it along. My recruiter actually was the only one who has made me laugh today, when I told her she better break out some new jobs tomorrow cause am thinking I felled the test here is her reply, lol, "I'll keep looking but I'm sure you did ok. I asked the magic 8 ball and it said you passed- and that thing is NEVER wrong!!" How hilarious!!!
Men are driving me crazy. Ex won't get off his rear and get crap taken care of. An old friend who definitely has commitment issues, has wishy washied back in my life. And then a new man and I are talking but can I trust him?? I am so suspicious of all men after spending 13 years with someone who could stand right in front of me and actually lie about stuff. How do you get over that? How do you learn to trust again? How do you know people are actually telling you the truth?? I give up. Especially tonight. I personally cannot deal with any thing else tonight. So take care all and talk soon Donnna

Off to Greenville, today!!
Well I missed posting as I said I would on Friday, lol. Been kind of busy. Want to make something happen just start yammering about it, lol. Seems Wednesday after I posted my post, that I got an interview with hospital (Pitt County) in Greenville, NC. Those people probably think I am nuts because I thought this job came from the new agency I had looking for me a job and as it turns out it was my original agency. Thank my lucky stars. Did my little telephone interview and was "hired". But...... I have to take this PBDS test. It is a test that tests your compentency, critical thinking skills and overall workability. Well.....it ain't no multiple choice, you have to pull these answers out of the air. Which I am so terrified that I will not do well on. It is not that I don't think I "know" the answers, it is you have to be very detailed and thorough. As in how to you go home from work every evening?? Think on that for a moment and think out loud what your answer would be. Now if you said I get in car and drive home, you have flunked, lmao. What they are looking for is, I tidy up my desk, punch out whatever. Walk to my car, unlock the doors, get into the drivers seat, place key in ignition, crank car, place seat belt on etc etc etc. And me I do so many things in nursing really without thinking that I am not sure I can be so detailed. Ugh, and then Ms Perfectionist kicks in and really frets about stuff.
Next problem, lol. This Pat person who I forget what title she holds but is like an educator or soemthing. She "coached" me on this test. Well she told me that I would report to Trailer 3 on monday at 8 am. They should be forwarding you all the information with maps etc that we sent them. (This was on Friday while I was at house working and did not get back home to email till after 5 pm) Well....... maps that came with stuff does not have no Trailer 3 marked on it, doesn't even have an X marks the spot where I am supposed to report. Have absolutely no clue where I am supposed to be at 8 am tomorrow morning. I did with much studying find the Human resources building ( I think) so when I get to Greenville this afternoon, will have to cruise that area and see if I can find this trailer 3. The Lord has brought me this far, surely He can deliver me to Trailer 3. I sure help He clears my mind and helps me to relax and pass this test tomorrow.
I think my hormones are kicking in also. Good golly all I have done is been near tears for last 3 days. Either hormones or just stress. Wish I would menopause on out and that crap be done.
My headaches have been waxing and waning this week. I can feel that achiness in the back of neck but not that pulsating headache I had at the first of the week. Just tension headaches now. Planning on driving on down to Greenville around 1 pm today, should get there around 430 pm. Find trailer 3. Find store, lmao, and buy some "refreshments" and find some supper. Check into hotel that agency has me booked in and then I am crashing and relaxing for the night. Will need to get in bed early tonight so I can get up early in morning. I must say it is a bit strange to be traveling without my Fancy. I have missed her several times and wonder if she has a good home yet. I know giving her up was for the best. I really do, but doesn't mean I won't continue to beat myself up over it. And of course today will be bad having to say good bye to my Aggie. I love that dog more than life. She has been the best baby to me. And will miss Sophie too, but she done took up with Granny so she doesn't miss me near as much as Aggie will.
Well I am off of here for now. Plans so far for week. Test monday. Report Tuesday and if pass fill out tons of paperwork and get badge stuff like that. Then Weds, Thurs and Friday have orientation and classes. Hope all of you have a great week!! Loves Donna

Still at home
Well this just stinks. The agency I am currently with can't seem to locate me a position. So have an additional agency shopping around for me also. Hope to hear something in the next day or two or will be adding a third agency. I need to work and want to work. Not sure what the dang deal is. My original agency states it is due to the economy. Yeah, don't see that, not with all the nurses that are needed and all the sick peeps in the world. But being I don't know for a fact will have to accept it. To make matters worse, this past Sunday had an excruciating headache. Migraine big time. Unexplained and out of no where. Was sitting on the couch watching race and boom headache. Pulsating brain squeezing head ache. Mom came home after I had if for about 30 minutes freaked her out and she couldn't even drive me to hospital, had ambulance come pick me up and deliver me there. I so was embarrassed on that but sure did like the fact that 4 hours later headache finally eased up some and allowed me to function again. Not sure what is causing them either, because I had one Monday also. I am thinking has to do something with pulled muscle or pinched nerve somehow. Surely don't want to think the worst scenario (anuerysm). So for now trying to take it easy no lifting, pulling or straining and keeping neck in great alignment.
I know it has been a while since I been on here updating. I need to do better yeah yeah. Perhaps can set a goal to at least write on Mon, Weds and Friday for now. If I can keep to that then can add on other days when something spectacular, lol.
Okay for those who don't know I joined Match.com last month, due to the fact that I was extremely bored and extremely lonely parked up in the big town of Deming, NM, lmao. Anyway "met" one fellow from there, he turned out to be a dud. Was all "talk" but could not hold the muster. As in, scheduled us a meet time and then just didn't show up nor called no nothing ugh. Men!! Anyway we finally met on the Thursday and he was a great guy, but.... don't need to be played as second fiddle to his life. I understand crap goes on in peoples lifes but good golly if you are pursuing a woman, pursue her, lol. Well now yesterday, a fellow "winked" at me, winked back and voila now we are chatting on yahoo. He is nice, stationed in Iraq right now. We will have to see how things go though cause for those who don't know, last year was scammed big time by a jerk with a sob story. Believed it all hook line and sinker. I am too trusting of a person sometimes. There are other fellows chatting with me, but that one sounds most interesting. I find it cool to first be talking with someone so far far away, lol. Internet is so cool sometimes. And find it interesting talking to someone with a career in military. Nice to have someone standing up for our countries beliefs. Any way time will tell. He has 3 more months to "serve" then he is retiring. I sure hope that this is all on the up and up. I am so tired of liars and fake people.
Ex stopped by yesterday to pick up his mail at my Mom's. Laughed after he left he is so predictable and readable now that I got my emotions out of it. Only dang reason he came over basically yesterday was to let me know he got him a Harley. Like I care, lmao. Whooopeee!! And he can't pay his bills or have a place to live he is so broke, but can afford to pay for a harley what a ding bat!!
Talked to my friend Jackie!! Hey Jackie!!! Gosh miss her. Seems like only time I call her though is when I down in dumps. Got to be a better friend than that. They still in need of peeps in Farmville, just no travlers for ICU. Hey, if take some Med surg assignments and they don't kill me may have to dash up there and do one, just so can spend more time with her and all the people I met up there. That was some great country to live in. Just cannot afford to live there and pay for this dang old house here. Ugh!!
Am thinking going to have to do something with that house. Told ex he has 2 weeks to finalize loan or something. If he doesn't get a loan for it soon, I am going to have to contact real estate agent either sell or rent it. Which means major clean out still needed. And guess whos stuff going to be hitting the dump big time, lmao. He so ticks me off can't even get his junk out of the house. What can I say?? Knew he would be this way.
Well not much else going on. Going to go have lunch with Lanny. Hopefully hear an interview today and be ready to head off next week. Wondering about filling out for NV endorsement. Titan says has openings there quite often. That would be a cool assignment I think. Farmed out to SC, NH, VA and TX. I think that is all the places, lol. Surely one of them will hit.
Okies off of here for the day. Sure hope things in my life turn around. Take care all my friends and until next time!! Donna
FYI some how you can "follow" this blog and I think it sends you notification when I update. Is that right gamer????

Trip Home Story
Okay well more settled in here at home so can recap trip home. Got to say was a blast coming home with Sis and Mom. We set out on Sunday morning extremely early, because I could not sleep. Sis had enough of sleeping with eyes open watching for the "critter" that was going to come out of the little hole in wall. Plus crack under door, lmao, she thought something was going to get her. So we set out. First day of travel was horrific in the miles that we drove. Drove from Deming to Dallas, TX thing we got into Dallas at 7 pm after leaving at 4 am. Lots of road covered that day. Well my sister we discovered goes "crazy" after about 4-5 hours sitting "still" in a vehicle. She did seat aerobics to music, lmao. Just had to see it. Try driving in pouring rain, tears rolling down your face from laughter and "holding" tinkle back. And she has no mercy, she kept on with the shenanigans and the laughter just kept on. Also we discovered Mom has "favorite" music, lol. Mr Garmin is a ding bat, he had us lost in Dallas looking for some road that there was no road sign for. Idiot!! But we made it to hotel.
Okies Day 2 we left Dallas and headed to Memphis, TN. Toured Graceland, awesome place. But that big old house of Elvis, is a small home in todays standards of stars. But bet it was a show place way back when. At hotel, the "pink" cadillac picked us up and took us to Marlowes. BBQ place that has been featured on Travel channel and other places. And yes Sis went nuts that day also. We had a little spat too that day, made travel not so good. Think we all were exhausted from trek home.
Day 3 we landed in Pigeon Forge, TN. We all love this place. Shopped some there. Had to drag my Sister into a Christmas shop, 2 of them to be exact, yeah right!! I love Pigeon Forge, wish had more time there. But we had a great time. Headed home that day and Sis once again went nuts. Mom "requested" her Fav songs several times that day. This is a joke between all of us. Mom is some what old fashioned and well she don't like up to date be bop music and that was what we was listening to. She was hilarious, trying to cover up her ears.
The only pitfall to my trip home was that I left part of my heart there in Deming, NM. You see my Fancy got left there. I had to, she was not a dog for me. I could not get her controlled because she likes lots of activity and with me working 12 hours a day it was just making her worse. The dog would shoot out of the cage and be crazed for at least an hour. Had her on Ritalin too, with no help. She was losing weight and I had doubled her food intake. She needs some where that she can run and definitely did not need any lengthy cage periods. I feel extremely bad about it and will cry often over it. I feel like I failed her in some way. But it is best for her. I left her with the Humane Society out there and they told me over and over that they would find her a good home. And all I can do is trust in that fact that she is fine. But did not want to bring her home here to Humane society and then every time I saw a black dog her size give myself whip lash trying to see if it was her. She will be fine I am sure. Trusting in God that He will provide for her.
Well that is about all. Right now I am awaiting assignment. No news yet on where I am off to. I really want to stay on East coast for a while. I missed my family a lot. And want to be able to explore this relationship with this new fellow. And no we didn't get to meet tonight as planned. His job kept him out of town. So we have rescheduled for Monday. Will keep ya posted on that. But for now a big good night. Donna

What the heck???
Okay Mom and Sis are coming in on Saturday. And all your east coast rain has made it out here to me. Ain't rained a drop since I been out here and they prepare to come out here and voila here comes the rain. Rained (drizzled lmao) all day yesterday and raining again today. Thats okay cause I am off to bed. 2 more days of work. Yippee met another travel nurse she here for 8 weeks not same agency. Have not heard on next assignment and not taking phone with me to bed today, ugh I need sleep.
I am ready to head home and visit with some family. Most importantly, I am so looking forward to "meeting" this man I have been yammering with for over a week. We are so compatible via phone and text, cannot wait to meet in person. He is so sweet and think he is really special. Dashes them plans of relocating to Farmville, lol. Might have to find job in High Point, lol. Okies off to bed. 2 more work days and then family here and trek back home. Take care all Donna

Problem with having more than one blog
The problem with that is that I accidentally signed into incorrect account and posted. Well it has been a while since I posted to this one, lol. Down to my last few days here in Deming. Packing up my stuff and loading some to vehicle tomorrow. Go wash clothes one last time at laundromat, I sure ain't going to miss that. Mom and Sis will be here Saturday and then we make trek back across country. Will be "funner" with them than trip out here. Can actually stop see stuff I we want to. I can say the one good thing about this assignment has been the weather, been sunny and hot every day. At home has been nothing but rain rain rain. Maybe I can package up some of the sunshine and drag it back with me.
I have not heard of next assignment yet. Am told jobs are "scarce" because of the economy. Hey got plans if no assignment. Another agency, hospital in town, in town agency. Not sure why jobs are scarce when there seem to be plenty of options for me, but hey just going with the plan. Things will work out they always do.
And yes I have met someone. He is someone that I am really interested in. We have not officially met in person, but we have talked for over a week. We have a planned date on the Thursday when I get back in town. Will give the low down on him, once get his permission, lmao. Would hate to "blurb" him all over this and him want to be a bit more private. But hoping all things will work out cause he is someone really really special.
Okies all time to head to bed soon. Lots to do tomorrow and then next 3 days I hope will breeze on by. Take care all. Donna
