Two more weeks! Two more weeks until Christmas break for me! Four more 12-hour shifts at the hospital, which,thanks to a most compassionate instructor usually wind up being only 9 or 10 hours (notice how I say only?- yikes I'm becoming one of them). I cannot work in a hospital...if, when I graduate, the only jobs available are working 12 hours on a hospital floor, I will resume my previous career as a bartender/waitress. The Lunacy continues at the faculty of nursing (I can't even bring myself to capitalize it anymore- I don't consider them worthy)...I endured 15 minutes of the advanced nursing theory/bullshit class on Monday...the topic? Palliative care as expressed through INTERPRETIVE DANCE. I sure hope the Provincial RN exams offer you the choice to dance in lieu of answering the questions. You know, people don't believe you when you tell them this crap, but really, you couldn't make this stuff up. Being there is like being the only sober one at a party where everyone else is drunk and high.....
My poor car.....last week, after having a near-out-of-body experience whilst trying to write a paper for the above-mentioned advanced BS class, I was in such a state I actually backed up and hit my wheel-well on my own garage. Unbelievable...my "education" causes me to be unsafe behind the wheel of a car! In any case, poor car needs the body work done sooner than later, although I'm kinda excited cuz I'm going to have it painted at the same time so it'll look really hot. Installed new speakers last weekend, after blowing not one but all of the factory ones. Turns out my newly-installed stereo puts out 5o watts a channel, and the old speakers were maximum input of 30watts......go Big or go home, I guess. Sounds great now, poor Phil tho, he nearly froze to death doing it while I stood beside him and tried to fake being helpful. Didn't work so well tho....the one helpful thing I did (bring him hot Ovaltine) was undone almost immediately after I accidentally kicked the mug down the driveway and out onto the road...I'm such a klutz.
On a more serious note, my mom's cat Toby, whom we found at the cottage 15 years ago, had to be put to sleep recently. He was old and diabetic, and it seemed the only humane thing to do....he's now partaking in the giant cat food bowl in the sky, and enjoying every minute of it, I'm sure. Kudos to you, Toby, for being such a great cat...we all miss ya.
Cheers
