The Life of a Vampire

Life has been pretty great lately! Very busy and very rewarding!

I got a new job...and not just a "yeah, I'll work here while I look for something better" its a "I think I want to stay here for...well, forever!"

It's a phlebotomy job at Jordan Valley Medical Center. The pay is amazing. The people are so far really great (always a few bad apples but nothing terribly awkward). It's very busy, and crazy. And there is so much to learn!!! I wish I were more of a sponge! My shifts so far, since I'm in training, have been long. I start at 4 am in the morning, which hasn't been too rough. Unless I get to sleep late...then I sleep through my alarm...have to be called to wake up...almost hit a deer on the way to work...THEN it's rough! And I usually get off around 12:30. But the last couple days have been so crazy busy I haven't really had time to think...I just do and hope that I'm doing an alright job and doing everything right!

Once I start my regular schedule I don't work everyday. I'll work Monday and Tuesday 4am-2:30pm, Thursday 2pm-8pm, and every other weekend 4am-2:30pm. So excited to have days off during the week! And they do church services here at the hospital do I don't have to worry about not getting the sacrament :)

I seriously love it here! It's a great job! I love working with the patients and doing what I do!

Being a vampire is the best!!!

Once upon a time, there was this boy. A bright spot in my rough after-mission life. He gave me hope in romance again. He helped me see I deserved something better than what I had. He made me happy. He was my best friend.

For a brief moment in time.

After a couple dates and keeping in contact for a couple months things just kinda phased out. I blamed no one.

Till I "moved" to CA and he didn't give me the time of day. Then I placed blame. I wanted to see if something could happen. So I made an effort. And he didn't reciprocate.

It hurt more than I thought it would.

And today I felt that hurt again as I deleted the last vestiges of a weekend my heart will never forget...
