Mexican food, cupcakes, and nursey stuff

Well, I am doing ok on the healthy front. Yesterday Alan and I had an impromptu date and ate yummy, not healthy food. I'm not sorry about it! We had a great night. We almost always wind up at Poquitos, on Capital Hill. It’s our favorite. 
Then we tried Cupcake Royale for desert. They has some very interesting food items there! I found the compost cupcake fun, but went for the tiramisu cupcake instead. It was really good. Alan and I both really liked the place. Then we ended the night with some good beer at Elysian Brewing on Pike. 






I took a couple of days off of jogging due to starting my clinicals. I am working a 7pm-7:30am shift. It's kind of messing with me. It has been a long time since I worked a 12 hour shift and to do it during the evening whilst the rest of my schedule remains on a day schedule is...interesting. I am definitely NOT 22 anymore! I will start the jogs back up tomorrow.

My clinicals! I had the most amazing night. I will admit to being insecure about doing a preceptorship after not having done med/surg patient care for more than year. I was honestly surprised that I was even selected for a preceptorship, though Alan would say he wasn’t. He always has unwavering faith in me, which carries it’s own intimidation factor. At any rate, I did really well. It was like riding a bike. I did the majority of the patient care while being shadowed by my preceptor for most of the shift. At the end of the night, she told me she was very impressed with how well I did on my first day. Now I need to keep pushing, learning, and make a big impression in hope to get a reference, at a minimum. Hopefully, I may even get a job out of it. I will not hold my breath, but I would love to work there!
