Busy Bee

February 25, 2008

Since I wrote last I: Hosted a Pampered Chef party and scored over $200 of free products Went to the doctor and got a physical, a blood test, a TB skin test, and a tetanus booster (I’ve pretty much conquered my fear of needles) Visited 4 possible ceremony/reception venues and ruled out 3 of them Tried on some wedding dresses and decided that I definitely need to tone up my arms Finished the book The Friday Night Knitting Club – it was alright Watched the Academy Awards on fast forward and stayed up too late doing so Now I need to get myself to bed ASAP…another 12-hour shift coming up!

Zzzzz

I’ve had a problem for as long as I can remember with falling asleep when I shouldn’t. It happens basically anytime I’m not actively engaged in an activity. For example: in class, at work, while driving. It’s not that I stay up late or don’t get enough sleep. I get at least 6-7 hours of sleep a night, and I start getting very tired around 8:30 or 9 p.m. In fact, I am pretty much starting to shut down right now. This drives Boyfriend David crazy because he is a night person. Obviously the falling asleep while driving thing is dangerous, and I’ve gotten better at handling that by calling someone or pulling over when it starts to happen. Falling…

Thirteen Things

1. My day in the ICU yesterday was kind of boring. Both of my patients had brain aneurysms. They were awake, alert, mobile, and for the most part independent.

I Heart Weekends

January 25, 2008

Whew. I am ex.haus.ted. It has been some week! It has been awhile since I looked forward to the weekend this much. I feel like I’ve been gone all week, driving all over the city from place to place, never home for more than 30 minutes at a time unless it’s to sleep. I have about two hours now before I have to leave again, and I am just loving it. Even though I surely have schoolwork that I need to do, I am instead going to begin working on the anniversary present I’m making for David, spend some quality time with Cleo, and maybe even get a tiny nap in. Ahh. I should mention that my friend and I…
