Trading in powder days and white water for a retirement fund and health benefits...
Well folks, this girl is all grown up. I got me a real "adult" job, working the night shift on a cardiac floor at a big hospital here in Utah. It's crazy hard and quite a change from the pace I've been cruising at the last couple of years, but it feels good to get worked over every now and then, don't it? The learning curve is STEEP and I'm learning more than I ever thought possible; it's different and great at the same time. I took my nursing boards last week and passed (huge sigh of relief), so I guess I'm the real deal now. I know this doesn't signify the absolute end of adventuring, but it does drastically slow some things down for a bit (i.e. no guiding this summer). It'll be fun to see how the pieces fall and what this new life brings!
