I have got to quit waiting too long between posts- so much to catch up on! During the middle of last week, I was starting to come down with a bug, so I decided to go to bed early on Wednesday and Thursday nights. I ended up sleeping almost 24 hours between the two days! I must have needed the rest!
On Wednesday, I went to the live portion of a program to train pharmacists to give immunizations- how exciting! APhA is the creator and sponsor of the program, but my company also uses the same program to train pharmacists and interns. I am lucky enough to work in the same department as the pharmacist who is in charge of the immunization program for the entire company- wow! (He's busy!) At the end of the day, you practice giving shots to one another. I figured no one else would offer, so I volunteered to go first (sorry, Dan!). I forgot to have someone take a picture of me giving a shot, but here's a picture of me getting one.
Yesterday was a great day! I was given a free ticket to the Elton John and Billy Joel Face 2 Face concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. The tickets were a gifts from a company that works for us... along with a parking pass, which was clutch. I could have thrown a stone and hit the stadium, which, if you knew how far I could throw, you know that must have been close! They also have a box suite on the 50 yard line- what a gorgeous view! (Year of Firsts- first time in a suite at a concert)
I went with a group of people from work, which, for many employees, probably isn't that fun, but I LOVE the people that work around me. They have all been very supportive in helping me transition from the field to the office.

Another highlight of the evening- I got to meet our company's CEO and president! He was very down-to-earth, personable, and engaging... he even came over later to learn more about what I do and my background. I was over the moon! (No, I didn't tell him that I wanted his job! Maybe next time!) I kept looking over at Alyson and Troy for some assurance that I wasn't making myself look crazy! Troy and Alyson met me halfway between Conneticut (where they live) and the stadium so that I wouldn't have to drive all the way there by myself. Here's a picture of Alyson and I at the concert. One of her little boys just got a cell phone, so he had been calling all day- how cute. (He's only nine!)
Here are some more pictures from the concert...

It was such a wonderful day! And who said that I wouldn't have fun this year?! (Okay, no one has said that to me, but I thought it when I first moved out here!) Who knows what this week will bring- I'll keep you posted!
