Wow...I didn't blog for the whole month of November...

So...just what the hell have I been up to???

Up to no good, I think ;-P

But seriously....

I had a lot of SHIT going on in my life - mainly work-related stress shit. My shift (the bad-ass 3-11 crew) hosted our annual x-mas party, so I was one of the main chair-people...lots of logistical shit had to be ironed out, payments had to be made, etc...

And work has been HELLA-BUSY since November up to now...people are in HOLIDAY mode (which, to me, is STUPID AS SHIT mode), thus, health goes flying out the window...diabetics are scarfing down too many carbs and sugars, dialysis patients are in fluid overload, cardiac patients ate too much grease and grime so already-nearly occluded arteries are just about sealed off completely by plaque and fat, thus causing chest pain or actual heart attacks...and more recently, people have been drinking alcohol as if there was no tomorrow, walking out on the streets drunk to the point where they become easy car-targets and are actually hit, or to the point where they decide to decorate a concrete pole with their wrecked vehicles, or even choose to jump out of an actual moving vehicle, just because...

I think you catch my drift.

But...now that the x-mas party has passed (and it was a kick-ass party, if I may say), I am now in RECOVERY mode.

I need to catch up on sleep.
I need to watch some TV.
I need to not be so busy at work and actually have a nice, quiet work day, and not be in a rush so much to admit so many sick-ass patients.
I need to blog more often dammit.
I need TIME.

Oh...my annual leave for this month was denied too...I was wanting to take 2 weeks off to start studying for my NCLEX exam...but was denied 'cause we're already short-staffed, and one nurse is on sick leave 'cause she's due to give birth any day now...but even after that, she'll be on maternity leave...and besides...I've procrastinated on actually applying for the exam too...so, I guess it all works out...but still...time off and away from that hospital sounds good right about now.

Ok. It's 0100 AM. I need to shower. I need to sleep. I just got off the phone with my boyfriend. I sang and played guitar for him, one of his favorite Cueshe' songs: "borrowed time". It was nice :D
I'm still a kick-ass girlfriend ;-D
