The Sun Came Out!!

So I just finished one of the "mini-vacations" that working 3 nights a week can offer. I have been off work for 5 days... of course the first 4 it was cold and raining as it has been in North Carolina for the past couple of weeks. Believe me, I am over the rain! We all know how much I love the sun and being outside, so this rain has landed me right on my couch watching episode after episode of CleanHouse--- which, I can't say I mind a day on the couch... but I don't need 3 weeks there! Well, to my amazement the sun has come out!

When Layla and I got up on Wednesday the sun was out so off we went to the dog park so we could both spend some much needed time outside. And it was great. Then, yesterday when we get up again not only is the sun out but it is warm! So, I dig up the swim suit and beach towels, pull out the ipod and head to the pool for some hours spent relaxing in the sun with Alix. It was fantastic! I even put my feet in the water because it was so hot on my chair. However, on my way to work Alix called and it seems our day in the sun produced much more than relaxation for her... she now has the first sunburn of the season. And, as the night has gone on here at work it appears my chest may be getting slightly more red-tinged. But, I can take that as long as it comes with the rest of me being somewhat tan and the sickly-pale color of winter being gone.

So, one more point for North Carolina with the improvement in the weather... still trying to make the decision for my next contract, but as for now I am back to work for 3 nights so life outside of the hospital is put on hold...
