In which I go to the doctor and almost die...

*looks to the left* Hello, rock.
*looks to the right* Hello, hard place.
*sigh* I feel like I'm getting myself into another one of these masochistic situations that I cannot seem to deter myself from because of my poor stupid heart. I suck at making good decisions, I know what the GOOD decision is...I just don't pick that one. Ugh, whatever, out of the frying pan and into the fire for me. Head first into oblivion.

Anyway, moving on, work was fantastically frustrating today. I was on the verge of murdering my patient by the time I left...I do believe that if I had to go in her room one more time...I might have actually acted out my pillow therapy fantasy that I'd been harboring all day. I don't know why people think it's ok to destroy their bodies and then complain about it. I find it hard to have compassion for a person who has done something to themselves...you made your bed, now lay in it. Wow, I'm all about the sayings tonight. So, yeah, I spent most of my day traipsing across the hospital with my patient only to want to kill her for the rest of the day, and I was trying...I mean really trying, but dude...she was testing me. My other patient was a peach and I'm so glad...I would have lost it if I'd had two needy people.

In other news, I almost died in the Target parking lot yesterday. After going to my gynecologist appointment, having a pint of blood drawn from my veins, and having to fill my prescriptions...I decide I need a few items from Target. The weather was starting to become inclement but it was cool...I have the action German car. I make it ok to Target, turn in and all of a sudden, I'm sliding sideways instead of driving forward...right into the curb. I now am the proud owner of a neat red gash mark on the hub of my front driver wheel. However, I persevere on, unwilling to allow a thing such as ice to deter me. I park my car and begin to hike across the parking lot. The hiking suddenly turned into skating which suddenly turned into me almost falling on my ASS multiple times which resulted in an aching side from trying to balance. I did not however bite it...if you will. So, all of that is to say that the weather here is...abysmal, and now there is like an inch of ice/sleet/snow crap on the ground which I get to drive in since I chose a profession in which there are no "snow days". Yay, the excitement is overwhelming...
