Trying to catch up

Election day is tomorrow. Halloween has come and gone. Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, and meanwhile the city is already decorated for Christmas! A friend is back home safely after visiting me yesterday and today, and a rocking good time we had! And sadly, my time here in Ashland may be coming to an end sooner than I had hoped. A few weeks ago, I requested to put in an additional 13 week extension at my current job. As of yet, the hospital is not approving or denying anything of the sort at this time for reasons none of us are really sure about, but it's ok. I understand things have to get done in certain ways, and I am going to be respectful of that. But if things go this way, as of this weekend, my current contract ends in 3 weeks.

And I have to be honest. I'm not ready to go yet.

I feel like I just started, and now I've been in contact with my recruiter to sort of figure out what the next steps are. I've had a few preliminary contracts come in that I've taken a look at, and they sound like really fantastic opportunities. What I'm really going to miss though is the people. I've heard horror stories of travel nurses going into really awful assignments where the place wasn't good, the people were mean or things like that. I have to say, this being my first go around and I have been extremely blessed. I can only hope and pray my future assignments are this good. I have to face that possibility though, and like I said, I'm not sure if I'm ready yet. So hopefully things will go my way and I'll be here till March. But I'm trusting that I'm thrown into God's plan, and maybe He has yet to show me the best assignment! Or maybe He wants me to stay here longer. I can't do anything now but just wait and see, and if my time here is coming to an end, then to just make the absolute best of it.
