What The Freak?!?!

I just have to put this up to vent. I found out that my ex is now engaged to someone else! We just broke up month ago. I'm reminded that I was nothing to him and anyone can take my place. It was a relief to finally be out of the relationship, but a little part of me is still sad.

Is it odd that I've not even thought of dating anyone else yet? My thought is that God has a better plan for my life and the right man is out there.... I just need him to look for me for a bit.

It's obvious that I work night shift, seeing it's almost 3 AM. I'm getting a little sleepy now, so off to bed.

The Annual Celebration

Yesterday was the 23th annual celebration of my mothers willingness to bring another life into the world. Yes, yesterday was my birthday. It was a fun day, Ebster and I went to Knotts Berry farm, and then down to the beach. On are way back home we made a stop at Ripleys believe it or not. We saw a lot of many different and important things such as a the last supper on toast.

And this lamb born with two heads:


I didn't take these pictures I wish I had brought a camera, there were so many interesting facts.

And Away She Goes!

I'm off for the weekend to visit my little brother. It's going to be pretty cool! Hope y'all have a fun filled, family weekend. :-)

Don't Speed

Today I was able to buy a washing machine. It's used, I got it on craigslist, it's pretty awesome. I've been waiting for the right deal to come up, finally I got one. I jumped on it and bought it. The only problem was getting back to my apartment. A friend of mine with a truck came and helped me move it. Let me tell you about the ride to pick it up.

So "Speedy" comes over picks me up and precedes to drive to the other end of town to pick up. I have NEVER been in fear of my life more so then this 20 minute drive across town! He drives a F-350 truck, raised, with some supped up stuff that makes it go 0-70 in about 5 seconds. We had to take a dirt road for part of the trip which felt like we were going to roll out of control at any second.

This nice young man was trying man conversation however due to my overwhelming fear I was unable to talk. Seriously it was so scary. You know that guy on the freeway who in a big ol' truck and weaves in and out of traffic at about 95 mph... that was this man!

I was very thankful that this man was able to help me get this a washer; but I don't think I could stand to have this horrific experience again.

I Wanna Get Away!

Last night was another fun filled night of saving lives at General Hospital. It was extremely busy but in the morning in managed to let up a little and I got an interesting ICU patient which kept me just busy enough to not get bored. I slept today and in a few hours I'll go on back.

Some of the people (co-workers) I have the opportunity to work with are amazing. But there are several problem children that can make work so difficult. I asked the tech who was assigned to work on my side to do an EKG he gives me the an attitude but finally does it. I ask another tech if they'd dip a urine same freaken thing. We used to have really good techs at General but now we got these retarded lazy people who don't know what hardwork is. When I need a patient taken up nowhere to be found a single tech... guess they all left for "Tech Land".

These techs assume that the nurses are being lazy by asking them, but they need to keep in mind what's happening on my end. They have no idea how much has to be done by the nurses. have to do.

I started at General as a tech I did their job. And their job is to help the nurses and doctors. When I worked as a tech I was the ONLY one for the whole ER and ran my rear-end off for 12 hours. Now there are at least 6 techs on the floor. They get so put out to work but they seem to have plenty of time to sit and bullshit at the nurses station. I wish I had their job sit and not work and get paid. Last night only one of the 3 million techs working was worth a hill of beans and was very helpful. And the sad thing is this guy was not even assigned to work with me but he could see things needed to be done and went to work.

My thinking is that if I'm sitting around doing nothing and I see another nurse running her butt of I'm going to see what I can do to help. I don't understand how these techs can see that the entire ER is going nuts and just stand and do nothing.

Okay I know that won't change anything but it makes me feel better now that I've vented!

Tonight is my last night this week. I think after class on Friday I'm just going to go for a little trip somewhere. Maybe go camping again or drive to see family... who knows. Anywho, peach out for now. :-)

HUMOR OF THE NURSE

"The nurse brought a lunch tray to Norman Cousins, who was in a hospital "laughing his way to wellness." The nurse also brought Mr. Cousins one of those glasses used for urine specimens, saying that when convenient he should put a specimen in the glass, that she´d pick it up when she came back to pick up the tray. Mr. Cousins, seeing some apple juice on the tray, put two and two together, and poured the juice in the specimen glass. The nurse came back. She picked up the specimen, held it up to the light, said, "Mr. Cousins, this looks a little off, the color doesn´t seem quite right, are you feeling okay?" Mr. Cousins reached out his hand for the glass and said, "Here, let me look."
After looking at it, he said, "Okay, I´ll run it through again," then drank it. The nurse fainted."

The first time a patient did this to me I was blown away, it only took a second for me to figure it out. I do have to say it was pretty funny. It hasn't really happened since I've been in ER, probably because people aren't there long enough to get THAT bored!

I found This Online!

This is soooooo extremely funny!


When I go to furniture stores I sit on everything, checking to see which is the most comfortable. I see I'm not the only one, but I will defiantly be more careful from now on!

Tired, Frustrated, Bummed

In the last 24 hours I've had about 2.5 hours of sleep. When I finished my shift at 0730, then had a staff meeting. After the staff meeting I had to go to a self-defense class because I work in ER. Finally I got to go home and sleep a few hours before the repair men for charter came over to fix the internet. After they left I was in desperate need of going grocery shopping. I was able to get all the food I'll need for the next few weeks; which is a nice feeling.

After grocery shopping I went to Lowes. It's been getting pretty hot during the day, and it makes trying to sleep very uncomfortable/difficult (night shift stinks). I bought a small little water-cooler. One which I can put water in and push it to where I need it. It's a indoor one (or at least I'm making it one!).

Anywho After all that I came home made something to eat. With some help I was able to put together the water-cooler. I got several phone calls during this process which just me very angry at certain people and situations. Both of which I have little control over, unless I was able to win the lottery. I know part of it's I'm sleep deprived, and once I finally go to sleep for the night I'll feel a lot better. But right now I'm a hot head! People assume that because I'm a nurse and done with school, I automatically have large amounts of money & unlimited time off. I sometimes over-react too much when my buttons are pushed. Mainly because people aren't looking at whats happing on my end. I try hard to see everyones point of view. I try to be none judgmental and understanding to personal situations but it seems that I don't get that.

Ok I need to stop. Actually as I write this out I'm reminded of what Jesus taught (see below) and I see that I have a lot of room for improvement. It reminds me that I should not get hostile with others. I can't control them. I can not control a lot of what life brings. But I can control everything I do and how I respond to those problems. Ok I'm done for today, going to do dishes and go to bed. Take care. <3>


"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10

Oh The Pain!

I had a run-in with the ground, at about 40 mph yesterday, and I'm feeling it today. It took me about 10 tries before I actually made it out of bed today. I never noticed how much I use my elbows to get up out of bed. Or that my hips really have to bend that far to sit down. Trying to get dressed that was another obstacle. Anyways today has been a very uneventful day; I've been laying around the house today goofing around on the internet. I'll recover fine, the only serious damage was to my ego. :-)


They say laugher is the best medicine so here ya go:





Did you hear the one about the woman who begged her husband to take her somewhere expensive for a change? He drove her to the corner gas station.

I'M BACK!!!

So had a few up's and downs the last few months which lead to a very hard and difficult breakup with D2. Yes I am again single. But in my heart it is a relief and I know it was the right thing to do. I learned a lot which I will use to make sure I don't repeat history. That said on with the blog....

Someone on facebook sent this to me on my "fun wall" and I thought it was great.

I believe in karma; seriously what you give is what you get. If you are dishonest and hurtful it comes back to bite you. If you're loving and kind you will find the loving and kind people in the world. One might ask what changed between the beginning of the video and the end?
His perspective. So did ya get it... "Get Service".
