Transitions

Well, it's been quite a while since I updated! I've had so much going on that the time slipped right by.

Our biggest news is that I have taken a new job! Sorry it's been such a secret, but I needed to give my official notice at Jefferson before I let anyone else know... I have accepted a position at a private practice closer to home. I will miss my patients and my friends at Jefferson, but the 90 minute commute was getting to be too much. In this new position, I will be in 3 different locations for one practice. The closest office is about 20-25 mins away, and the other 2 are about 35 mins. So it will be a VAST improvement! I am nervous, of course, since it will be a new office, new co-workers, and a different population of patients, but I think it's a great opportunity for me. I start the Monday after Thanksgiving.

I look forward to getting home at a reasonable hour again!

Training is going okay. I have been frustrated these last few weeks. I am very concerned about the pace times set by Disney. Right now, it's all a mental game for me. The more I think about it, the heavier my feet feel, the more I tell myself I can't do this. Then I feel guilty because if kids like Noelle have to suffer through cancer and chemo, how come I can't walk a little faster? The pain in my legs is nothing compared to the pain in Noelle's parent's hearts since they lost her. I know I shouldn't beat myself up like that, but it's a vicious cylce! I know once I make the transition with my new job, my stress level will ease and I will be able to be more focused on training. I am trying to get my miles in during the week, but I am just so overwhelmed right now! I could really use some encouraging words if anyone's got them!

Thanks for checking in with us. Our fundraising is going well. We currently have $1,350 raised for Noelle. Halfway there! We are waiting to hear about a coulple other corporate sponsorships, so cross your fingers!

GO RED SOX!
