1) I moved last weekend. While most of you have also moved in the last month (okay, more like all), I moved a grand total of 5 miles. It was long and grueling and I’m so glad I hired someone to do the furniture (not like DO the furniture, but…yeah whatever). It’s pretty awesome- nice place. ONE complaint. Being downstairs sort of sucks. One of the people upstairs gets home at like 2am EVERY FUCKING NIGHT and stomps around for a while before loudly getting freaky with the other one. Now they’re having a party. I was NEVER this annoying EVER when I lived upstairs for three years. Right?
2) The night after we cleaned up the old apartment (never that clean, my god), I was getting ready for work the next morning and found that I had presumably left my STUPID WALLET at Fresco’s when I bought dinner for everyone. What the hell? I contemplated calling in sick. Yeah…I totally should have.
3) Monday was the worst day of work I’ve had in forever. I made dumb mistakes, had to deal with the doctor from hell, and then BOTH patients decided to go south a little. I had three other RNs helping me! I felt like I had cried all day.
4) Wow, STOP WALKING UPSTAIRS PEOPLE.
5) Then, I had a weird day on Tuesday, finally finished unpacking for the most part on Wednesday, had another frustrating day at work on Thursday, was bored to TEARS on Friday after having coffee with an old friend until I got my NEW COMPUTER because the other crapped out on me.
6) But today? Today was good. I worked and I didn’t want to cry. I didn’t even mind being there. Home? Who cared! I was hanging out with people I like hanging out with and had patients that weren’t going into atrial fibrillation or had a hypertensive episode and had to be intubated. It was GOOD.
7) And so there’s my week. In a nutshell. I’m pretty happy I get to take the next two off. 
Love to hear from you guys- free most of tomorrow and Monday.

Guess who I hung out with basically alllll day yesterday. In a pure, friendly, platonic manner.
Yeah, you guessed it. Rob.
It was actually EXACTLY what I needed after the whole Austin ending it thing. I needed to laugh (check), look at something pretty (check), and enjoy the company of someone without having to wonder what they were thinking about me, etc etc. It was a good day.
Other than that, I’ve just been working TOO MANY SHIFTS in the span of 8 days. Seriously, 6 days out of 8 is just BRUTAL without more than a day off in between. As of Sunday, I was alone and it actually went pretty well, considering I currently LIVE there.
Just one more day.

So I’m going to just start writing in this thing and hopefully it will catch on again.
Yesterday was my first day on my own after a 14 week long orientation…and two and a half years of nursing school and the scariest freaking test EV-VER. The first half was spent with me transferring someone out (all by my lonesome- and FAST) and the second half was spent waiting around for three different admits that either never came to my unit or got sent to a different room. Patient going to said different room was air-vac’d from Phoenix and was coding as he was put on our unit. Needless to say, I dodged a bullet. It’s amazing how stress can be built by mere anticipation. But the first day is over and soon this job will be “an old hat.”
I have today off (I’m planning on doing almost nothing) and two more days before the four day weekend of packing and moving goodness. And I’m in desperate need of updates! Hope to be reading soon.
