I made it!





I made it through my first day at work! Thanks for all of the well wishes and prayers. Miss S, thank you for the psalm. I had trouble sleeping last night so was up bright and early this morning. I fiddled around for an hour and half then decided to head at about 7:30. Though my anxiety levels were through the roof I made it on the long journey without any problems. It took me 50 minutes to drive to work and 15 of those minutes were spent sitting on route 73 near my house.
There were about 8 others who also started today but only 4 of us as officers. Two new attorneys myself and another nurse who began last week. The day was spent trying to keep my eyes from blurring while staring at training module after training module on the computer. It was tedious work as Medicare seems to be loaded with more information than the Enclyclopedia Brittanica. Much of that information, I must admit, is pretty monotonous. I never thought that so many abbreviations existed for any one entity. Medicare has acronyms or an abbrieviation for EVERYTHING! They must hire someone just to think of new acronyms.
Besides being overwhelmed with the above, the day went smoothly. The 3 others in my office seem very nice and we seem to have a good mix of experience therefore when the time comes, we will be able to help each other out.
The drive home wasn't bad either as it took another 45 minutes.

S began her long day in pre-k today and Big B said she did great! She even took a nap there, something that is quite unheard of here at home. However, now I'm paying the price as she's been playing in her bed for an hour not being able to fall asleep.

I will attempt to post picture from her first day of school last week, yeah a little late but I'm having some difficulty with Blogger.
