I feel like I barely have a spare moment as of late. We have three weeks before Go Live and it will be a hectic few weeks. I had a strange realisation yesterday. I don’t miss patient care. Whenever I’ve been in different roles, I’ve always started missing patient care after a few weeks or even missing being the charge nurse. But I haven’t had a single pang of regret since starting my new role. I’m really hoping that the UK job comes through because I don’t think I want to go back to patient care, but I’m also scared not to be in a typical nursing role. It will be a huge leap of faith for me, but if I don’t try now…I doubt I’ll ever have another chance. Either way, we are going to London in June. I’ve had so much fun researching flats and the best places to live. I’m grateful we visited London last year and spent 10 days because I actually recognise most of the different places we have looked.

I am considering this weekend my last downtime before we go live with the new EMR. I have no plans other than tidying up the apartment and going to a sausage sizzle while my husband votes. I’m sad to think that in a little over two months we won’t get to enjoy the Aussie winter and will be entering right back into summer, but English summers probably have nothing on Australian summers.

Time to relax and enjoy the weekend!

Also, Facebook reminded me that 3 years ago today, I was in New Orleans with my beautiful, amazing sister Brandee. How I loved that trip and all our trips together, but I’ll never forget because I have two tattoos to remind me! 

My husband and I had the perfect day yesterday. We got up early; a huge feat for a Saturday morning, and headed into the city to caught the ferry to Shark Island. Although it was raining when we left, the weather cleared quickly and the clouds parted. We arrived on the island and we were alone! It was perfect. We spent the next 45 minutes relaxing in the large gazebo in the middle of the island. When other visitors started to arrive, we moved to one of the more secluded picnic shelters where we could snuggle and read in peace.

Not only did we enjoy a lovely picnic, but the views were astounding. We read for some time before I decided to explore the path around the island. I took my camera and wandered around for awhile while my husband read and decided to climb some of the trees to get a better view and to read high in the tree.

I found all kinds of hidden treasures on the island and enjoyed the gorgeous Sydney weather. We had lunch and coffee in the city after returning from the island.

After the fun in the sun, we were too exhausted to go to Mardi Gras, but instead curled up and watched Big Hero 6. ..such a cute movie.
