Hello again world

If I count how many times I said I’m on a diet in this blog, I would crawl under my covers and cry some fat tears. I came back to the blog and read the last post and I felt really inspired. I should really start following my own advice. This I talked about two years ago. I did not make it happen. Matter of fact, I am heavier now than I ever was before. I am pregnancy weight without a baby. Isn’t that a shame? But my determination for that dream has become stronger than ever. Because I want to be healthy, I want to walk up stairs without having to catch my breath for thirty minutes, I want to wear my heels without feeling knee pains later on, I want to look at my body in the mirror and not feel like a failure (I really don’t like the rolls on my back – I’m not kidding). So here’s to me on this beautiful journey. Let’s pick up where I left off. This blog will probably have some new stories in there because my mind has been very active and I really feel like writing.

Home Again… For Now

So my parents started to freak out all the way from home. Apparently my bohemian perspective is not shared by both my in-law and biological family. Seriously, my parents learned of my “job ” and have been calling me instantly. lol. The end result is my father emailing me (yeah – took some time out of his busy schedule to give his daughter some words of wisdom) telling me to go back to school and learn something in the medical field. Oh yeah. Just back where you came from but this time, do something that will bring money in the bank. Really ? Seriously ? Somehow, I feel I’m more easygoing and patient about all of this than the rest of my people. It’s actually nervewracking that nursing seems like the only option here. I mean there are millions of people working all around us making life easier, making life happen but if you’re not making the big bucks right away, then it’s over. And the quickest way to do that is the nursing route. According to every single Haitian here. Really ? I’m starting to ask myself how many nurses are out there ? Are the tests effective to keep the “bad”ones out ? Is there a bad nurse ? Should I take on nursing just to see what the fuss is all about ? Is there any shortage of nurses at all ? Are people getting more sick because they know that there’s more nurses now ? I mean if there’s no shortage, then people are not getting better and getting worse ? What’s your theory ?
