My Week

Sorry about my little rant earlier this week. Mean people and bullies suck even if they are people who are just trying to hide what cowards they are. It also annoys me when people say shitty things but are too chicken shit to say it themselves and have to say it under the disguise of anonymity. It bothers me to think that the comment came from someone who is a regular reader since if you really dislike me that much, why bother reading my blog. Whatever though. Your issues anonymous, not mine.

Last week was a pretty good week but busy. Monday I had to update my NRP certification which I had to have for work. It's usually a type of course that you can't really flunk unless you really don't prepare at all. It went fine of course and I managed to get out of spending 5 hours with the unit clerk at the end of the shift. Then I worked day shift on Thursday and Friday. Those went ok too although they started awfully freaking early. I hate mornings. Funny how getting up at 4:30 in the afternoon doesn't bother me much but 4:30 in the morning just feels horribly early. The first day was fine and went great. The second day I was with a nurse who was very by the book and it felt very nit picky. Especially when I kept getting a lot of "I do it this way" in front of the patient which was basically interpreted by me as you need to do it this way too. I started feeling really prickly but finally decided that I'd be a mess by the end of the day if I kept that up. I tried to just let it go, get what I could from the experience and know that it was my last day of orientation. Now I'm done and I have 5 days off!!!! So nice being back to 12 hour shifts. I've got some sewing to work on this weekend and just stuff around the house.

Sadie is doing good and doesn't seem to be hurting much but seems to tire out more than she used to. I've been taking her for walks and she doesn't seem to want to go as far as we used to go. I feel bad for her and I hope that I can recognize when or if her quality of life seems to be declining too much.

My milestone of the week? Look at the pic.

For the first time in a very long time I weigh less than 200 pounds! This was a great feeling. This and shopping at Victoria's Secret last week for the first time ever. I even got myself a nice new fancy bra.
