Most of work is focused on computer based training and shadowing others for now. I won't be able to start seeing patients until I complete training in Walter Reed where I'm suppose to go in a couple of weeks. I've been waiting on my contract company to approve the travel so I can get tickets for everything. I hate waiting on other people, I hope it all goes smoothly! So far it seems that I will be working with a good group of people. It's a different type of work, being incorporated into primary care but the hope is to mitigate problems before they escalate to the level of needing specialty mental health.
We're moved into our condo and it's a nice place. It's a quiet area, decent pool, and away from all the Vegas madness. Still getting use to the heat. It's amazing how draining it is. The temps were in the 80's so we forced ourselves to go out and about the other weekend. It's funny that we are seeing 80 degree weather as "cooling down" but after it being 100 and above it felt so nice!
Before I got this job, we had Alaska vacation plans with Joe's nephew and his friend. When I accepted the job it was cleared that I would have a week off without pay due to these plans that were already made. We had a great time in Alaska doing tourist stuff although it was the hottest week ever in Alaska while we were there! They were also battling multiple forest fires. They tend to let the fires do what they need to but it's still sad to see all that is being burned.
We did some major Alaska "must do's": fishing, bear viewing, saw moose, bald eagles, and flew over a glacier! It was amazing to be back soon after moving away. It was so laid back and relaxing compared to the traffic business of Vegas. It was a wonderful vacation!
Now that we are back in Vegas we have to get our Vegas groove on. We are going to focus on exercising, eating right, and get back to saving money!
