Life on the "Res": Week 1

The rest of the first week was pretty dreadful, so I'll make this post short and sweet.
We spent a couple of days in the Dialysis unit helping with medication reconciliation and medication counseling, which was pretty neat, but it quickly went downhill after that.
We also started Insanity this week (still determined to get fit), so the entire week we could barely walk around without groaning. But that was just the tip of the iceberg....
The big news of the week is that WE GOT ROBBED! We were planning on making a big night of our Friday night and go to the All Stop to get some wine, but as we were wrangling up some cash to go, we realized that neither of us had any of the cash that was in our purses/wallets.We lost about $200 between the two of us, so needless to say, we did NOT make it to the All Stop. Instead, we pouted in bed all night Friday night. After going through multiple federal employment applications, background tests, drug tests, fingerprinting, etc, we thought we could trust the employees at the facility... wrong-o. We even tried to be sneaky. Katelyn had the majority of the money in her purse hidden in a side pocket so that if someone stole her wallet or money out of her wallet, she would still have cash. I didn't even bring my purse. Instead, I brought my laptop bag and hid my wallet in the bottom of that. Our tricks didn't work, because they got all of it. Every. Last. Cent. :( The rest of the people at the pharmacy (including our preceptor) were AMAZING and pooled some of their own money together for us. They didn't even do anything wrong and they felt terrible about it. That made the week a little bit better!
We had a canoe trip planned before all of that happened, decided to cancel after we got robbed, but after we got some money back, we ended up going ahead with our plans.We headed to Valentine, Nebraska ("the city of hearts") to canoe down the Niobrara River. We planned to canoe for about 4 hours, which felt like forever. We stopped one time to hike up to the tallest falls in Nebraska, Smith Falls. We both got to stand under the falls and let the water pour on us- check that off the bucket list! Neither of us took our phones or cameras, so I have zero pictures for the day :(. Towards the end of the trip, I finally looked at a map and realized that it seemed super long for a reason. We canoed FIFTEEN MILES! Yikes. Talk about a workout! We treated ourselves to a nice sit down dinner --and a drink-- before we headed back... it was much needed!
After the rough first week, we decided one thing for sure. It has to get better from here. Crossing our fingers for the next 4 weeks!
