I Owe, I Owe, So Off to Work I Go

Well, let me start off by saying the last 6 months have been awesome. I have enjoyed sleeping till 9, lazing around the house, and spending all day doing whatever I wanted to. But the fun must come to an end. I've got a job now.
I've gone back to work as a CNA at my first nursing home. It's like going home. I know the management team, they haven't changed much. The nurses haven't changed much. At least 25% of the staff and residents haven't changed either.
It's good to go home.
Good, but tiring. I got up at 4:55am today and that's my new waking time. Yipee skipee.
Good news is I get out of work at 2pm. Pretty cool, huh?
I'm very tired and the words aren't coming easy. I'm gonna go take a nap now.

Yes, I'm Writing More Posts...

I have not been doing things this week....or last....as you can tell from my lack of updates. I did finally get new shoes, but I haven't been able to use them yet. First our car had some issues, then my body decided to have some issues. So I am now on a course of heavy anti-biotics (seriously, I get to take 6 pills/day for the next 10-20 days!) and am already feeling much better.
But I don't know how soon I can get back into running. I feel like I have missed so much and probably lost a lot of the ground I had gained, so I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with the training. But don't you worry, I'm not going to let fear stop me, I am committed to run 15.5 miles in May so I'd better get back on track. I'm going to wait another few days and see how I feel. I want to make sure I am well on the mend before going back to the gym, but don't want to wait too long... Hard to start again once you've stopped. The key is not to ever stop. . . Silly life getting in the way....
