Today started out great.

I got that lovely 5am call from work putting me on stand by. I got a few extra hours of sleep and snuggles, and then got called back in at 9:15. The unfortunate thing about coming in late from being on stand by is that you get all the new admissions. Which on day shift can be catastrophic depending on the type of patients you get. Fortunately, the Force was with me and I got a great group of post-op patients that made the day not so bad. I hope to get that same group tomorrow. They are fab.

Yesterday, I went grocery shopping without being budget conscious. It was wonderful. I got a ton of delicious food like black grapes, Nutella, OJ, butternut squash soup, Chai tea, Triscuit crackers, and lots of other yummies. It was my most satisfying shopping trip in quite some time. I'm eating Triscuits with Nutella as I type this. I just had to talk about that. For no particular reason.

I had a little something to talk about, but I'm afraid it's not really appropriate for this outlet. I will only say this: Be careful of sharing financial responsibilities with anyone. Including a close friend. I am talking specifically about sharing a residence and payments for it. If you can afford it, I recommend living alone. And don't be charitable when someone can't hold up their end of the bargain. Never say, "oh it's okay this time," because people will only take advantage of you from then on.

Live and learn, I suppose.

I can't wait for Corey to come home. I think he had an exciting day, too.

What a long few days at work. I'm hoping this is a good and relaxing weekend. I am back at work Monday and Tuesday, but then I have 3 more days off, so I can hopefully manage that.

This feels like it's going to be a post with several random topics in it.

The next one being Coldplay's announcement of their new album, "Mylo Xyloto." There are a few songs on it that are already available, and I have to say, I'm excited. Although, I am always excited to hear new music from them.

Next small random topic: My parents will be here today to move my sister into her new apartment for the school year! I think I am charged with entertaining Ruby for the day and maybe going swimming. Hard work, I know. Should be a very good day.

Moving right along... Corey is officially back from training for his job. He goes to work today, I think, as a regular employee not on orientation. Exciting! I think he is excited. I think this is a job he will really be good at and enjoy.

Last night to celebrate Corey being back, and for me to wind down after a tough week at work, we ate at the Olive Garden. It's my fake Italian guilty pleasure and I love it. Of course since I was in a post-work-must-enjoy-myself mood, I made sure we had an appetizer, wine, good entrees and dessert. Ran up the bill pretty good, but I thought it was worth it. I'm eating my left over tiramisu right now. Yum! Some breakfast, lol.

I'm sure I'll post something more coherent this weekend when I'm feeling more inspired, but I think that is it for this Saturday morning.

I guess it's finally time for me to post day 30 (the last day, thank goodness) of 30 day song challenge. It was sort of fun in the beginning, but grew tiresome toward the end. Some memes just get too long to be amusing the whole way through.

Day 30 is my favorite song this time last year. Coincidentally, my favorite song last year is still my favorite song this year.

Yellow by Coldplay. I posted the live version for day 1; here is the studio recording for day 30.
