I love True Blood.
It's interesting to see Wayne's photo under my little In a Relationship With section. I don't think I've had an In a Relationship section since I was in Texas. I'm okay.
I started work. Sometimes, I feel really stupid at work. I feel like I should already know everything, and I know it's okay that I don't, and I know that a lot of the girls started there not knowing anything at all. Dr. Allum taught them everything. Stuff is slowly coming back to me. The machines are a lot more updated than they were in 2008, but once you learn them, they really aren't that bad, and they're pretty much the same as they were a few years ago. Just shinier and with nicer computer screens. Today I watched bacteria attack a white blood cell. That was pretty cool. I didn't have to look at any poop today. I did two histories all by myself. It's like, the pre exam interview. Dr. Allum wants me on mostly nights. My entire schedule is going to change, which sucks cause I really liked working in the mornings, but oh well. I'm going to miss all the surgeries, and being a surgery nurse is what I do best. Besides labwork I suppose.
I watched a dental today. When they insert a trach tube, they have a special tool that helps you insert it. And they lube it up before it goes in. And instead of just rubber banding it around the dog's nose, they tie it with gauze around their head. A lot of the stuff is the same. The important stuff is the same. Everyone wraps packs differently though. This will be the third wrapping technique I will have learned. Doc's were the best cause of those metal trays where every tool had a special spot on it. Here, the hemostats and shit are all willy nilly. Tootsie Rolls are pretty much the best things ever.
I have Monday off for the holiday. I'm leaving Saturday evening to go to Jersey. I'm hoping traffic won't be too bad since it'll be later on and hopefully everyone will already be infesting the beaches by then. My grandpa is up from Florida. He always stays in a hotel though, so Wayne and I can stay at my parent's house. No extra money though, so fishing at the beach is probably not gonna happen. Either way, I don't know if I really want to go to the beach on a holiday weekend. We can spend the weekend at the pool and stuff like that.
Shaun is giving me gas money to go out there which is real nice of him. I believe he and Sarah are spending the weekend at Mike's house. He invited me to come, but I would rather go out to my parent's.
Wayne's out fishing right now. I'm gonna go meet up with him in a little bit. Probably about an hour or so. On Saturday morning he's going to work, and then he's going to help his sister move into her new apartment. There's an apartment right next door to mine that's for rent. She should move down here. There's not a more beautiful site than West Philly. From where I'm at, you can kinda see where the rich people live. Excellent. Shaun gets to go into Center City every day for work. I don't ever go into Center City. I don't really go anywhere in the city at all. I spend most of my time out of it. I work in Norristown, and Wayne's in Abington. The closest I get to Center City is looking at the art museum across the river. I'd rather not be there I suppose. I wish there was an ocean close by. haha. I guess that wouldn't work out. The river is so stagnant and dirty. At least the ocean looks kinda clean.
I'm debating staying late enough on Monday to watch the fireworks. They're definitely going to be on the 4th, which is somewhat annoying since they won't happen till late, and then I'll have to drive back to Philly that night. On a positive note, I will be able to sleep in the next day since I'm not working till one. So we'll see. I would prefer it to be on a Saturday. But if anything, I'll go to Manchester Day fireworks instead and get attacked by falling pieces of explosives. I don't even know if Manchester Day even happens anymore. But if it does. I'm there. I'm there so fast.
I could always go to Lakehurst fireworks. I think I went there with Shaun last year. I'm pretty sure we got stoned in my car and then watched fireworks by the water. Beachwood really isn't much further than Lakehurst, so I'd rather go there and see all the giant hoards of humans. I love being smashed on the tiny beach with thousands of screaming kids and parents. We'll figure it out. I think I'll just stay away from any of the beaches and things will be okay.
I'm so tired of fishing at any rate.
Sorry Wayne.
Wayne wants to go on vacation sometime. Maybe for my winter break at school or something. We're both pretty bad at saving money, but I'll actually be making some money, and maybe I'll even have enough to put some away. ha. ha.
Hannah just sat on the NetGear box that's USB'd into Shaun's computer and I'm pretty sure that shit just broke. Fat dog. She needs a bath. She needs a bath cause she stinks and the house stinks and she needs to get spayed, and I need to clip her nails. On a positive note, all of her vaccinations are up to date which I was unaware of until today. So that's good. She's already microchipped, but none of her paperwork for that is with me. So I don't know what to do about that. I definitely need to update all the information. But yeah. I need to do her nails.
I clipped nails on a sleeping dog today. Cut the blood vessel wide open. Blood is everywhere. I had to use a silver nitrate stick to stem the bleeding. I felt retarded with everyone staring at me as I brutally murdered the dog. He made it through okay. No worries.
I'm trying to quit smoking. I'm trying to keep it down to five a day. I'm doing fairly well having dropped down from a pack a day. Smoking causes cancer and may complicate pregnancy. Just so you know.
I haven't even changed out of my scrubs yet. I want to put the Elizabeth movie on and actually watch it as opposed to putting it on and then falling asleep. Find me a boy who enjoys historical period films and I will marry him!!
I need to finish my dress quickly. Because I need to start on Wayne's outfit, and that's gonna be a shit ton harder. I've never made dude pants before. Or a codpiece for that matter. Hee hee. I'm excited about doing it though. It'll be something different. I'll have to remember to look for my Tudor Tailor book when I go to my parent's this weekend. I'm pretty sure it's on my mom's bookshelf in her room cause Dad used it to prop the shelves up while he was installing them. That book has the pattern in it. I just have to figure out how to scale it up so that it actually fits Wayne and not the small pages of the book. I'll probably just fuck around with the pattern till I get it right. I'm also probably going to take short cuts and not use period correct materials. Sorry Wayne. I'll still let you hold my hand and walk with my in public. You can carry the train of my gown. You're welcome. I'm excited cause this year I'll have someone to walk in that little parade with. Normally I walk with Edmund the Wandering Poet, but this year I will be able to walk with my boyfriend. And he will match my clothes. FINALLY. He is awesome. I love him. I am going to keep him and force him to wear tighter and tighter pants to each renaissance faire until he dumps my ass.
