Tomorrow officially marks my last day of work. I turned my letter of resignation to my boss today. I asked if there'll be any 'formal' procedures we need to do, but he said there'll be an informal exit interview with just the two of us...and some tissues. I'm so blessed that I have had such a great boss to work with these past three years. Howard definitely sets the bar high as a boss who all not only respect, but also like as a person. I told him that it's easy to respect your boss, but it's not easy to 'like' your boss...and he has always been such a friendly, patient, inspiring boss, day in and day out. I'll miss working with him and the rest of my co-workers who I consider my work family. They will be throwing me a good-bye party tomorrow. Pizza, sandwiches, ice-cream, fruit and veggies, and I'm bringing my mom's famous 4-layered jello for dessert as well. Training has gone fairly well, and I'm finally learning the concept of "letting go" and moving on.
I got a chance to talk to Sharon today! I talked to her while I was supervising my replacement. HA! The great thing about this week has actually been not working! I've been so busy trying to train the new NMR tech and also talking to my co-workers about my life and where God is taking me. It's definitely bittersweet though! Hopefully I make it through tomorrow with dry eyes!
I cancelled my dress fitting last Tuesday and rescheduled for next Tuesday. I went to the hospital on Monday because I had severe...SEVERE...stomach pains on Monday. SO severe that I didn't even go in to work, even though it was my last week! The doctor's seem to not know what it could be (since stomach pains could be caused by so many factors), and asked if I wanted a cat scan. Since I'm not sure what my new insurance covers, I decided to skip the cat scan this time around. I experienced the same pain about 4 months ago, and also had to go to the hospital during that time. Looking at my calendar, it's pretty clear that the pain starts when my period starts. Because of this, my uncle suggested I see an OB-GYN to make sure my uterus is okay as the position of the uterus can cause pain during my cycle, and also to test if I have endometriosis. I'm still reading up on the causes and effects of endometriosis, but until I get tested, I won't know. I made an appointment with the OB-GYN, but the next available appointment that I can go to is June 3rd. Not the best date, as I'm scared I'll go through the pain again next month, but at least I'll still get checked out to see what the issue is. Praying that everything is and will be okay...
North Carolina has been getting terrible weather. 62 tornadoes hit the state last week? (or a couple weeks ago), and now the state is also in danger of a major hurricane. AY! YI! YI! I hope everything clears up by the time I visit in a couple weeks!!!
Hanging out with my cousin tonight...exercising and getting in shape for the big day!
I have one more week to teach my kids before the big recital on May 7th. SO proud of how far they have all come along. It is so rewarding to be a teacher when you sit back and see the progress that each of your student has made and how much they have practiced to get to where they are. I'm excited for the recital day...and hopefully I"ll be able to share a video of them playing!
Will update soon!
Two blog posts in a week...not too bad!!! =)
El fin!
Hey beautiful! I'll be praying about the whole tummy thing! I'm so sorry you're going through that! I'll pray that the Lord calm your nerves about it, too!
