Easter

Well, Easter is definitely here and I survived my overnight work at the facility. In fact, I had my exit interview with HR for the facility this afternoon. It was a very positive experience and I got to say some of the things that needed to be said in an open forum. The HR person even told me that she would be more than happy to keep the door open for me to come back in the same position as a PRN which pretty much means as needed. It's something that I might consider in the future.

The overnight shift really was not bad at all. I managed to accomplish a number of things and that made me feel good. Moreover I got to talk to all of you. Too bad dad was asleep. The shift right after that was not bad either. I was pretty surprised I was able to work and do a good job of staying awake and not dozing off. Needless to say, when I got off work I went to bed. I told Anna to wake me up at 5:30PM so I could get ready since we had dinner reservations at 6:30PM and I needed to be at the vigil service at 7:45PM. Overall, the service was nice. There were quite a lot of music which kind of made it longer than it needed to be, but that's OK. The two RCIA candidates were confirmed and they had a very good experience. I was really happy for them. I told them that since it was the last time I would be the RCIA Coordinator, I could not have asked for a better group. I had decided to call it quits because it can be a little time consuming. With wedding plans coming up, I could most definitely use all the time I can get. When Jim and I met, I told him that I would be more than willing to help out, but I just think it's time someone else steps up to the plate.

I did not go to Mass on Easter Sunday because I really needed to catch up on my sleep. I was not scheduled to work until 2:30PM which was A OK by me. A number of residents were out with their family since it was Easter Sunday and I was so happy to hear that. All in all, it was a very laid back Sunday shift. Talk about a great way to end my last day at the facility. A number of the residents commented that they would miss me and told me to drop by. I told them that I would be more than happy to if that's allowed by the agency. In so very many ways, it was bittersweet. I know I will miss some of them, but at the same time I know I am doing the right thing. It's time to move on to bigger and better things.

I guess that's pretty much all the news from me. Nothing too exciting. Oh, Anna's high school musical where she is a part of starts this Thursday so she's been feeling more than a little stressed out about everything. I'm sure it'll all be fine, but she does have a tendency to get somewhat stressed out. I'm not sure when I'll see it, but I do hope I'll be able to see it.
