Busy Busy Busy

It's Tuesday night, an hour before I leave for home! It's been a pretty busy past couple of nights here on 8MBB/G. I have a few days off here before I work the dreaded weekend! I work too many days in a row coming up here in the next couple weeks, so I'll try not to whine, but honestly it's gotta be harsh.

This past weekend was pretty fun. Saturday we had a little post-wedding get-together for my dad's cousin Randy and his new wife, that was nice to see them and eat at Mr. Pizza! Then I traveled over to see Kelsey at her baby shower! Her baby's due May 2nd! So soon! That was fun too! Chris worked that night so I hung out with Mom for a while and then Jill, Dora, Denise, and I watched Juno at Jill's house. Sunday Chris and I had 4 kiddies in Sunday school and ate lunch at the mall with Gramps H. and Gramps & Gran E.! Fun fun. Then we hung out with Mom and Dad and had a yummy supper there and played outside in the glorious whether.

Monday, I had Kid's Hope and Chris bought a new lap top! I won't go into great length, but his old one had big issues and it was just time. It's so necessary for him to have a working computer for his classes, so I'm glad he can work on his lap top in peace now! It makes my lap top look old! Then I worked and that was that.

Today was dull, I had by BLS (basic life support) renewal class. Even though it's the renewal class, it's still too long, from 8:30-11:15, I passed and am officially renewed and ready to recussitate, heehee. Sorry, not a laughing matter. Then I did nothing and Chris was at work/school all day. I am now at work as well. It's been busy even though I only have 2 patietnts. One is on the commode every 2 hours, not kidding, and the other is just quite complicated, but very nice. They're both nice, so that's nice, very nice, nice, nice. Ugh, I'm tired! I can't wait to go home!

Tomorrow, Chris and I have the dentist @ 9:30 then I'm shadowing a nurse on 7MB (the unit I applied for) from 3p-7:30p. I'm assuming I'll hear about the job after my shadow at some point, which I'm glad about cuz I want to do the shadow first to make sure it's not absolutely something I don't want to get myself into. Then Thursday I have a class at St. Mary's, only for an hour though, then I acutally get one day off, Friday, then I work Sat, Sun, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Mon (2hr class), Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, yeh shoot me in the head. Thats 10 days at the hospital with 3 days off during those 10, that kills me man, I'll die, ugh ugh ugh. I'm signing up every single day for an EA in hopes that I get at least one. I did not sign myself up for this mind you, they completely switched everything around that I requested, oh well, I'll live. Actually I do get several extra hours on my time card though, for all the classes and the shadowing, so that's a bonus, but honestly, not worth it.

Luckily, I get to go have a fun sleep over on the 2nd to the 3rd with Megan, Alexandra, and I think Kate too (Jamey's fiancee) It's an Erickson side girls sleepover! I'm so excited! I hope Kelsey doesn't have her baby while I'm gone!!! Then we're having a party for Grandpa H., I think it's his 75th, on the 4th! So that'll be fun too.

Well, I have a feeling within the next few minutes I'll need to go help my patient to the commode for the 7th time this shift! That's a record for sure. So, I better wrap this up. Peace out.
