My last journal entry is almost 2 years old, so it's about time for a new one.
I had some big changes in my life last year. After 12 years I quit my job of pediatric ICU nurse. It's not that I didn't like working with kids anymore. No, I simply had to admit to myself that my job was killing me, for many reasons. I guess at some point I also realised I had seen enough kids die. Sure, we had a lot more children who managed to leave our unit happy and as good as new again. But it's often the once who died that stayed with me in my thoughts.
I now work on a unit for haemodialyse. Which is where people go to 3 times a week when their kidneys don't function anymore. It's mostly elderly people I work with now, but I do like my new job a lot. I'm working there now for almost 7 months, so I can say I did make the right choise. I will always miss working with kids of course. Ah well, one can never have everything they want out of life I guess.

Artwise I believe anyone can notice that I hardly did any new work over the last 2 years. Mostly because my old job used to leave me tired and drained every day. It was easier to escape into the world of everquest 2. Spending too much of my free time playing that game.
Recently though I seem to feel a bit inspired again to use my creative side. Not sure if I'll be doing a lot of work in Vue 6, because my pc is dying, and so is my monitor. It shows everything way too dark, so I have no way of actualy knowing the colors and brightness that others see in my work.
I am however writing again. Ever since I was a kid I used to write stories. There was even a time when I wanted to become a writer. In a way it's kinda funny how simple life seems to a child.
Inspired by some books I read though I am now actualy working on a story again. And it feels great. It makes me remember when I was a kid and sat there writing down my stories. Life really was simple back then.

Ah well, I suppose this is enough of an update to last me another two years.
