Busy Week

It's been a busy week. I've worked late almost every night this week and while that will make my paycheck nice it makes for a tired me. A new project at work became mine temporarily while I get it started and train someone else to do it. I'm enjoying it sort of but it's a bit messy too. All if this is for the overtime. It was funny though because the charge nurse came over yesterday and was like "I have nurses who can help you with this so you don't have to stay late." Um, yeah. I want to stay late, that's the whole idea. She still didn't get it. So I had someone come over to help me and I spent more time explaining what I was and wasn't doing that I did anything else and it would have been much easier to just do it myself which I pretty much did end up doing. I also had a patient I called last night to ask her to come in a couple of days before her procedure for some lab work. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with this woman while she restated what I had told her for instructions about 70 times. I was alternating between wanting to laugh like crazy and beat my head against the desk. I feel bad for her but it was kind of funny too. The whole change of plan made her so anxious she had to keep repeating everything over and over again. Then she called back a little while later and wanted to repeat it all one more time.

I've spent part of today looking for a list of things I KNOW I had but for the life of me I can't find. It's driving me crazy and I have no idea what I did with it. I still need to pack and get ready as I'm leaving Wednesday morning early. Yikes. I'm excited though too. Looking forward to seeing everyone even if I'm not looking forward to freezing my now California ass off.

This morning I put on a pair of pants that I hadn't been able to wear most of the summer and they fit again. Even a little big on me. I'm feeling good. Both physically and mentally. I haven't been loosing as fast as I had hoped but I'll live with that. I have been working really hard on my eating habits. Trying to get rid of most of the sugar I consume and add in a lot more fruits and vegetables. It's not easy but I'm taking it one day at a time. Knowing that I feel better helps. Still working on exercising often too. Now to go do some other stuff around the house. So much to do, so little time.
