I’m working at the hospital today. It’s almost Noon… only about 4.5 more hours to go. I just got back to the office. I was meeting with a man and his son-in-law. The man’s wife is probably not going to live much longer. They were married for 50 years, have 6 kids, and 14 grandkids!!! The man was sad…but at the same time he had this look of “yea… we had a good life…” Scenes like this are sometimes sad for me…but mostly they are full of joy. I’m always happy to see people who have lived a full life and have loved ones around them when they die. The man actually was interested in my story. So, I told him. He said that we all have “autobiographies to write”… so, maybe I’ll write mine someday.
So… I took the NET test last Saturday morning. This is the first step for going into nursing school. I have been thinking about it for the last couple of years… I’ve given myself a March 1st deadline to decide. I’m more worried about the debt than anything else. I’m almost debt free now… $60K is a lot of debt for school.
I’m having an “ugly day” today. I look alright… I saw one of my friends ( she is a nurse and she is working today) and she said that I looked good and it looks like I have lost weight… (no… it’s the pants… one of my co-workers calls them my “skinny pants”). Anyway, blah, blah, blah… same stuff, different day.
So… the quirky guy from work said that he would ask me out for coffee. Honestly, it would be nice to have coffee w/ him… and actually sit across from him at a normal table instead of my work desk….but on the other hand, I don’t know if I could stand it because of the whole girlfriend issue. He really is someone I could fall quite easily for. So..here’s hoping that he has terrible habit… like he picks his nose or something (but… be honest… don’t we ALL do that in private?)… Heck… he volunteers at a homeless shelter..so, he can’t be all that bad… even if he does pick his nose.
Ok.. I need to stop this little treatise because I just got paged and have to visit a patient.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
