Mwahahah I had almost an entire day off today. NOT entirely, but MOSTLY. I KNEW there weren't enough patients to warrant me going in to the hospital today and I figured the charge nurse had tried to call me to put me "on call" but hadn't been able to get through because SOMEONE who likes to TALK had called (my grandma!). So I called HER and she said, no, COME IN! We need you!
So I got there.
There were so many of us, I didn't even get to take one real set of vitals. Well, I took one on an outpatient who came in to get a shot of Neulasta. But that's it. Outpatients don't count. ;)
I pretty much sat around and picked my butt for two and a half hours before they sent me home. It's ok though. They pay me a decent wage to pick my butt. You don't get a lot of $$ for that skill nowadays!
So on my way home (it takes almost as much time to make the round-trip to work and back as I spent actually AT work!), I stopped at Target to get my schedule and the purse store to get this wallet I totally needed.
Yep. I've got the best purse and the best wallet in town now. I freaking rock.
Came home, tried to nap, was ALMOST asleep when Ivan came in to ask me what I was doing. Pretty sure it was obviously I was SLEEPING and I told him so.
Me: What do you MEAN what am I'm doing? I'm SLEEPING!
Him: Oh. So whatcha doing?
Me: TRYING TO TAKE A NAP!
Him: How about after that?
Me: SLEEPING SOME MORE!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT??
Yeah. It's not a good idea to wake me up. I'm a bitch.
The rest of the household (minus Ivan, who went to a party) commenced the watching of a home video taken earlier in the day AT TOP VOLUME WITH MUCH COMMENTARY. So, the sleep was a no-go. But that's ok. After I got over my crabbiness, I went to the grocery store and made some fabulous hot spiced apple cider. It's the PERFECT weather for it! It's all cold outside (frost advisory!), and I'm inside with my favorite mug (ok, it's a teacup), cuddled up in a blanket finishing up Reading Lolita In Tehran which, btw, you should all read because it's excellent. I gotta get it read NOW NOW NOW 'cause it's due back to the library on Monday. YIKES!
MONDAY is my REAL day off. I'm totally stoked.
You know, I think before Ivan left, he asked me if I wanted to do something tonight. I probably said no. I wish I hadn't. NEVER ask me anything while I'm trying to sleep. You will get a bitchy "NO!" pretty much no matter what. I miss spending time with him. I'm asleep when he leaves in the morning and he's asleep when I get home at night. :(
Ok, well I shall call the boy and wish him a good night (aka sending wishes that when he passes out it's NOT on a hard surface and that he DOESN'T end up PUKING).
Goodnight, all!
The book beckons. I must heed its call.
xoxoxo, Love ME
