> Miss you too! I’m an occasional lurker now, as I’ve been way too tired/busy for much posting. Let’s see…I live in Michigan now, have a little girl who is almost 2, and work as a CCU RN. I love being a mom, and critical care is quite awesome, but Michigan is still trying to grow on me. My heart aches for Chicago, but I’m nearer to family now, and life is a lot more affordable here. I’m sure we’ll be visiting The City as the little gal gets a bit older.

There’s a LittleMillit? Yay! Definitely let me know when you feel up for a Chicago visit - we’ll whip up a little Dopefest for ya!

Yes, I’m working as an RN in home health. Ergh. It’s reeeeally nice for the schedule - make my own hours, as as many or as few of them as I want, but once this camping season is over, I’m redoubling my efforts at finding a hospital gig. I need to be around nurses to learn from them, and with this job I can’t do that. My patients are all stable enough that I’m not an outright danger to them, but I’m not growing as a nurse or moving toward further career goals doing this. I am, however, paying my bills, which is actually kind of fun! 😃
