In Response to Kelly's Question

it's now doubling as a handy storage unit that my bedroom otherwise didn't have.

if only i had something exciting to share

it's 0500 and i have 2 more hours left... for tonight at least.
back on nights, which actually haven't been so horrendous as they normally are since i have one of my fellow cohorts with me to pass the time. and by fellow cohorts i mean that she also speaks english as her first language. seriously, when some of the other nurses get together and start talking...i just have to laugh. i suppose that they are speaking english because that's what they insist it is, but i honestly have no idea what they are saying.
tonight a full 15 minute conversation passed in which the only words i could catch were ".....lucifer....made her cry....Praise You Jesus!" there was a lot of laughing and "Praise You Jesus" was repeated multiple times...i find most of the time it's best just not to ask.
so life updates, i am officially another year older. my birthday came and went quite quietly. i know that sounds lame to most people my age but if you have a histoy that includes being tear-gassed on your birthday then really you're just happy that you got through the day in one piece.
next big event was the new couch. my apartment is absolutely adorable now. love it. it's cozy and actually looks like an adult lives there as opposed to the recent college grad who used to live there. i promise to post pictures soon so that everyone might bask in its loveliness.
i think i told most everyone but for those of you who didn't hear my last day on the floor is feb.28th. mark it on the calendars folks because that is a day to celebrate. it's a little weird that i will be changing jobs, i'll soon be in an entirely new atmosphere and pretty much a new hospital. the PICU is in our new tower so everything there is brand new, it only just opened up in November. then on top of that i'll be working with people i don't know, kind of makes me feel like the new kid at school and i have no one to eat lunch with. scary thought.
these are the kinds of things you ponder when you've been up all night and you're tired and there's nothing to do.
however i suppose that i should at least make the effort to look like i'm doing something productive. although i'm pretty sure my patient's all think i'm a crazy stalker because i have nothing better to do than check on them every 15 minutes.

King of Glory

this harkens back to my steubenville days, those were good times. more than once, i have to admit, i envisioned something similar to this while going to the FOP's. (if you know what a FOP is then i don't need to explain why i would be choreographing dance routines in the middle of one.)
