So...why Superwoman Diaries??

I was pondering the name of my blog and thought that it sounds pretty conceited of me to refer to myself as Superwoman...so I thought I would explain where the name came from, and why I decided to embrace it.

I do what I do and I am who I am. I never thought of myself as anything extraordinary, I am just me and I have a lot on my plate. Last year a friend of mine, Ty, started referring to me as Superwoman because of all that I do manage to keep on my plate - without spilling! I always just thought it was funny and never gave it much thought. To me, I simply have a goal in sight and nothing is going to divert me from that goal - to become an RN. I already mentioned my work, school, and general life schedule which includes a lot of 18 hour days...so I guess I can see where he would get the nickname. Of course, no one will ever forget my original nickname of Joni-Butt (Thanks Norann!!)

When I decided to write the blog, I had no idea what I was going to call it...and then there goes Ty with the answer "No Surrender - The Superwoman Diaries" so I thought "oh what the hell, lets go with it!" So here we are...ready to fight crime. Now I simply have a little more on my plate, I have a new goal in sight and I am ready to reach it. I have not lost sight of my original goal though - I am still applying for the RN program in October and moving forward. I would not start until April of next year, so hopefully by that time all of this nonsense will be done with and I can get back on track!

Today's update:
Called the surgeon this morning and I have my first appointment tomorrow, hopefully followed by a biopsy by the end of the week. Then I will see the oncologist, followed by a call to my primary to get a second opinion authorization that is required by my insurance to go to City of Hope....where I originally went and where I really want to be treated.
