Labor Day weekend

I am getting so excited about Labor Day weekend. I've worked out my schedule so that I'll have a 3 day weekend even though I have to work Labor Day itself. Thursday night after we get off work, Adam and I are heading to Nashville to meet up with Matt, Lori Beth, Alicia, and Sarah to go to Brooks and Dunn's last concert ever!! Matt lives in a super nice high rise apartment building in downtown Nashville-->he actually lives next door to one of the guys in Lady Antebellum. So we're going to hang out at his pool on Friday. Then on Saturday, Adam and I are driving up to Cleveland for the annual family picnic on his Mom's side. It's going to be sort of weird this year since his Grandma just passed. But I'm sure we will have fun. Saturday is the UK/UL football game, so we'll find a bar to watch that in as a family. We'll probably go to mass on Sunday and then time for the picnic. I love having things going on constantly...and I love being made a part of Adam's family.
Work is still going well. I'm actually working in Bowling Green on the 30th of this month. I didn't have a shift for that day yet, and a shift at the new BG store kept being posted bc noone would pick it up. So I decided to pick it up so I could hang out with my parents for a couple of nights...and I get paid mileage to drive there:) My Mom is so excited that I'm going to work at home. It's going to be funny. Things are starting to get on my nerves in pharmacy though that are just a part of life. Like all of the Passport (Medicaid for Louisville) people bring in prescriptions for multivitamins, benadryl, tylenol, etc, etc that normal people have to pay for over the counter. And of course they get it for free. One doctor even called in Maalox b/c somebody wanted to try it instead of paying the $2. For real? Then there's the whole monitoring of controlled substances, druggies coming in for Sudafed..yada yada yada. But overall I love pharmacy and looking out for my patients. I've been immersed in pharmacy for so long now, that's it's crazy how many people know so little about medicine.
I have to get through these 3 days. I close tonight and work the weekend. But I am off Monday, so I get to drive to Lexington Sunday after work and hang out with Adam. He just left this morning, so it's nice to see him more often finally:)

So the Braves lost the game that Mom, Dad, and I went to Cincinnati to see...but that is okay. We still had a great day. I hadn't seen my parents in over a month, so it was good to see them. They drove to Louisville, then I drove us up for the game. Our seats turned out to be really good. I wish they were closer, but I did my best for what was a sold out game:) We walked to Fountain Square in Cincinnati after the game and ate at Rock Bottom Brewery. I love that place. I had some great enchiladas. Dad and I also had a great fresh brewed beer at the Brewery...and it was a whole lot cheaper than what we would have payed at the ball game for a bottle beer. Today was a great Sunday. I slept until almost noon. Jan and I went to the gym, Target, and to O'Charleys together. Then we went and played Bingo tonight. Neither one of us was a big winner, but it was a fun way to spend some downtime for relatively cheap. I love hanging out with Jan. Moving in with her was one of the best decisions I've made.
I'm a little nervous about going to work the next two days. It is my first days at my two "home stores". I want them to like me:) I'm going to Lexington to have some one on one with Adam after work tomorrow. We haven't seen each other in a week, and we just need personal time. This is really one of the first times I am feeling like we are in a long distance relationship. I just hope that our schedules coincide better in the coming month once our weekends are in sync.
