meeting new people

Yesterday I went to Grand Junction and had dinner, and made a new friend.  I finally get to western Colorado and meet someone who moved here from Wichita, Kansas.  It's a small world!  I had some fabulous local wine, and now I'm paying for it today....  Just very tired.

So today was a total --lay around the house--- day.  It's really nice!  I can open the back door and Cooper gets to go play.  I'm getting lazy because I don't have to leash him and walk him.   I did go to the local grocery store.  It was so quiet and empty it was almost eerie.  I guess not many people shop on Saturday evening in this town.  Maybe that will make it the perfect time to go.  I started to wonder if they were open, but more people came in.
I must say, business owners have been very friendly, but people walking by and on the street... not so much.  I'm sure if I give it more time I'll get to know more people, especially in my line of work!
One more day off, then starting work.  I'm excited, probably more for the pay checks to start up again than anything else!  But I always feel a little more grounded when I'm working.  I'm so glad this is a permanent job.  I don't have to worry about where I might be going in 3 months or 6 months, or spend hours online keeping up with who's hiring in what states.   It will be nice to start getting to know the nurses I'll be working with.  They are usually like family!  We end up spending so much time together.

There's more going on, but I'm not telling everything in my blog.  I guess I should protect the innocent.  (ha)
Maybe it should be it's own separate blog!   I'll keep you posted if anything develops.

right now I'm so tired!  Going to bed.
