So I'm writing this while i dry my hair, so I'm only using one hand. it's actually quite difficult! It's so much slower too. It's been two minutes and I've only typed 2 lines. yeah back to two hands.
Well as some of you may know tonight is my last night working at the hospital. I'm done for the summer. I still have the Reitman's job, whether I'll keep that for the year or not has not been decided yet. BUT we do now have a third vehicle which means I'll have something to drive me to and from school. Yay!
Dolly Parton is coming up fast. Literally this weekend. Sunday night Woohoo. I'm going to have to get some huge Dolly listening party happening before I go.
And than this friday is the Youth Commitee retreat...don't get me started on that...I'll explain later. I'm not so worried anymore, but I'll have to think some things through. Sorry Kell for blasting off in your ear. I didn't mean too. I know there's no excuse but I'm tired, I never get the best sleep of my life after working a night shift. but that's what I'm off to do again, another night shift.
Hope You Have a great night. Catch you later.

Things in Series...
Now you may say...what kind of title is that. Well just what it says. I want things in series. I've been thinking about the different things I could get once I have a steady income coming in. For instance once I graduate and get a job as a nurse. Yay! I can buy my list if things I want and have never gotten because I would probably have to order them over the internet and than use a visa or some other credit card. So here is my list:
1) The 7th Heaven series--Meaning once it finishes airing I want all the seasons on DVD, but right now all they have out is the first and second season.
2) The Xena Warrior Princess series--Don't laugh, I watched these and I liked them. Girl power come on. Atleast this one has all six seasons on DVD. The final total for getting this series will be unreal but that's why I'm waiting till I have a job.
3)Any Lori Wick Series--I love her books, LOVE them! She has many, many books, and a lot of them are series. Like the Rocky Mountain Memories, The Yellow Rose Trilogy, The kensington chronicles series, which I have, but I want them all.
4) Now this may seem weird but I want all the For Better or For Worse Books. This is a comic and for the past few years I have been keeping up with what is happening with the comic, but it's not enough. I want to go back...Way Way back. So that means getting the compilation books of all the strips.
5)I would like to get the rest of the Point of Grace Cd's that I don't have all ready. It's only four cd's. But Lindsay will understand you keep count of what you don't have in you collection as well as what you do. I'm only missing The christmas album, Girls of Grace, I choose you album, and I would like to have Steady on, in Cd form rather than the tape form that I have.
6) One last item, I think it would be cool to have the Dr.Quinn Medecine Woman series on DVD. I'm not sure if I would pay anything to get it, but if there were good deals I think it would be something I'd be interested in.
Well I know I seem selfish and material minded but in all honesty they are just things, if I never get them it won't be the end of my life. I will carry on. I just think they would be fun to have, to watch or read whenever I wanted to. Now where I would put all these "things" I want, I have no clue.

It's Late
Well it is past midnight and I am working tommorow morning, BUT I'm not tired. I think it has something to do with my three hour nap this afternoon. Atleast I don't have to get up at like 6 am tommorow or else I would be soooo tired! :) Not like I'm all ready doing that. Funny story my alarm didn't go off this morning and I wake up from the phone ringing. I was all ready a fifteen minutes late for my shift at Reitman's. Yeah, got ready in Five minutes and got there in ten minutes. That was the fastest I've ever gotten ready for work in my LIFE! Well yeah my boos wasn't to happy but she wasn't stark raving mad either. ooo and I found out today for sure that my boss the one that "left" (which means she was asked to leave) was going to fire me...for what you might asK?? My bad work, my temper tantrums, no, for my lack of enthusiasm. Explain that to your next employer. But in reality she wanted to let me go because I had gotten a second job and she was thinking it was paying a toll on me. Which in some way it was because she was scheduling me for shifts RIGHT after doing a night shift...Your enthusiasm would be low to if you had gotten two hours sleep.
yup, and you may ask me what am I still doing at this store who won't let me have August 26, and 27 off so I can go camping with the Youth Commitee...I honestly don't know why??
So this week I'm pretty busy I work Monday and Tuesday full days at Reitman's and than I drop off the face of the earth from Wed to Sat because I'm doing my hospital shifts. So Kyla if you want to see me before you go...well I'll book Tuesday night for you!!
It seems everyone has come home this week, Kell's home, Kyla's home, um, did anyone else go away, oh yeah Ryan comes home on the 14th. Yeah...I'll be sleeping that day.
I don't think there's anything else that needs to be said...ooo this may be only interesting to the girls. I finally have the complete set of Lori Wick books the Kensington Chronicles. Excitement!!! they are so pretty, It has all the new covers and everything, I'm so happy. Now my next book collection to get is the O'Malley series by Dee Henderson, that may take a little time but I could always buy the TWO books that has all six novels in it, The would only be 50 dollars out of my pocket which is a pretty good price for 6 books. I don't know what do you think girls??
oh, Kell I've been looking at the Redemption series of Karen Kingsbury and I now think I"m interested. (that's the Baxter family right??). I don't know maybe we could do a book exchange/borrow. You know what I mean. Well once you get them back from Laura that is. :) Well People's it is now very late, and whether that means I'll be able to sleep or not is a very good question?
Wish me Luck this week, hopefully I won't break down with exhaustion!

*WARNING*
This Blog may be depressing!
Hey I just thaought I would warn you. (Sorry for anyone who checks this regularily I haven't been updating) But if you do check it regularily you know I haven't been writing because my jobs keep me so busy and tired all I do is go to work and than go to sleep. To get out to Nick's on Sunday night was well...a miracle.
Now for the reason I wanted to write this: A woman In my unit died today. This is officailly my third death which doesn't sound to bad considering some nurses have worked in paliative care for many many years. But with every death it's hard. But I think this one was really sad because she was younger she was only 50 years old. Her youngest child was only 17. I don't want to imagine what life will be like for that child. It's something I don't like thinking about because I'm too close to the situation. I really don't know If I feel sad, or if I feel nothing at all and I think it would be worse to feel nothing at all, but you do have to put a block up to protect yourself. But you still need to feel, because once you become heartless I don't think you're human anymore, and I never want to be a heartless nurse I care about my patients. Which is why I need to put that block up so I don't get hurt every single time one of them dies.
Well we are anticipating a very busy and emotional weak on the unit. There is currently four patients "actively dying" (nursing term that sounds disgusting but it's actually used) yeah they are going to go one after the other and when that happens it can get really hard emotionally especially for the nurses. You don't really have proper time to grieve and then all of a sudden another one goes.
yeah so that's what it's kind of like working in a place where your patients know they are dying. yeah I feel like I'm loosing my senses half the time.
It is August case you missed the month change. Meaning September is coming up fast, and I have no clue as to what to do about that...that's just a looming cloud right over my head. I'm excited but TERRIFIED! I shouldn't be as scared as I was last year, which in reality I'm not, I'm really not that scared...
that's all for now folks, send me an email every now and than...maybe I'll actually feel like someone cares...oh yeah thanks for the phone call Lin, sorry I wasn't here to answer it!! ;)
