Happy New Year to all who take stock in a 'new year, new me' theory and to the rest of us who are trying to make it to another GD year.
It's the weekend after New Year's and all is quiet in Fresno.
Y'all this post is about my travel year in review. I'll make another post soon about my trip to the West Coast and other things. I'm going to start in January 2018 and go south from there.
JANUARY: January was my last full month working at my school job, where I have spent the good and bad last 8 years. I miss my school kids (well, most of them) and my school friends! Grateful to the ones who stay in touch. I have made so many good friends and experienced so much at SLPS. Pediatrics is still and will always be my first OT love.
FEBRUARY/MARCH: What a great first experience! Working in the very Western part of Virginia. While I wasn't there too long, all my co-workers were/are HILARIOUS and made it so much fun. Experienced genuine Southern manners and hospitality. ❤ Found out for the first-time how unrealistic productivity standards are. Virginia is so beautiful.

APRIL-MID JULY: Pediatrics in East Texas. Loved being back in peds and my kids (save 2 kids- Susan if you're reading this you know who got my goat!). Did a lot of driving and saw some beautiful country scenery. Met a lot of great co-workers and families. First apartment-living experience. Grew to hate my boss and still have palpitations when I see a car that looks like hers. Able to visit family in East Texas. And Tyler TX is a great city!

MID JULY - NOVEMBER: Southeast TX. Definitely different than the nursing homes I've worked at in MO but there are great nurses, staff, and therapists everywhere! It's not about the size or money going into a nursing home it's the people who run it that matter. Compared to where I'm working now- I'd go back to TX over stinking rich any day. Anyway. Met some awesome and hilarious patients who I still think and worry about. Made some good friends in Kelsey and Congetta- Kelsey being a TX sweetheart and Congetta an MI hard-working lady with sass. Honestly, enjoyed all my co-workers which made up for working shit hours and piles of work for being the only OTR. Trying to make a difference in their therapy world. 😆😇

DECEMBER - PRESENT: Ended the year here in Fresno, CA where I'm liking California but not my jobs (picture me trying to not stop my eyes from rolling non-stop at work).

| Until next post here is the Pacific coast! |
Peace, love, and California Dreams,
