A life divided

My day is divided into three parts.  (A) calling on, applying and looking up jobs.  (B) applying for school, looking up possible scholarships, preparing essays and other needed materials for the scholarships.  (C) studying for the State CNA Skills test.

I officially applied for enrollment at UVU today.  Next is to visit the school education and pre-nursing councilors.  School starts on January 5th.

Heidi helped by quizzing me for my skills test today.  I then ruined her circulation by trying to practice taking  blood pressures on her arms.  Didn't get either one and made her arms ache.  What a wonderful nurse!  I will have to turn in my little white dress and the little tri-fold hat.

No luck on the job front yet.  I will be a sqeaky wheel tomorrow at Costco to see if I can get on there.
