Spending time with Andrea

I went on another walk up Mount Soledad with my girl Andrea! It’s so nice to walk and see the night skyline! Andrea and I talked about travel nursing and our experiences, of course a bit about guys, and a lot about our families. When you travel, you are usually alone or maybe with a fellow nurse and your family is back in your home state. It’s nice to share about them with others to help bring them a bit closer. (Even when it’s nice to have them far away!)

I had a great salsa week. Andrea came with me one night and got a lil taste of Latin dancing. She just watched but she said that she admired our energy.

When you live so close to the beach, you can’t help but want to be near it! Andrea and I signed up for a meetup walk on the beach that was to be 4 hours. Well a bit of drama occurred, the leader wasn’t coming with us! She’s had a personal issue and thinking this was a simple walk up the beach she told us a bit about the beaches we were going to be on and sent us on our way. Ok, we didn’t know anything about the tide times or the upper landscape should we need to get off the beach but we thought we’d give it a go. We hadn’t walked 30 min and the tide had come up to the cliffs of this one point. We tried to go around on land but there wasn’t a distinct beach road on this hill so we just called it a day and went back. We were a bit disappointed. I vented about how I don’t think any event should be without a leader regardless of how simple or easy it seems and if one can’t be there then cancel the event. Well, all drama developed from there. The leader of the walk didn’t like my opinions and kicked myself and Andrea off the walking group. Really! That woman needs to handle criticism a bit better and be an adult about it. Oh well. I got over the fact that someone in this work doesn’t think the best of me. I’m such a people pleaser and it was a bit tough!

So the next day I decided to go to a happy place…the San Diego Zoo. I did have to work that night so I couldn’t stay long, but omg it’s amazing there. Hands down the best zoo I’ve been to. It’s like walking through a jungle most of the time. I saw one of the walking groups have a meetup there to power walk! You can seriously get some miles in there! I’m going back as soon as I can!
