So I spent my Halloween in the scariest place possible...the hospital.  My six patients slept throughout the night.  It was so nice.  However, I was still up and running.  Two other nurses had groups from hell and our floor was filled with very sick people.  We ended up sending 2 of our patients to the ICU.  And at shift change, one patient began having a reaction to her chemo.  Plus, we had half the floor up all night calling out for pain meds.  It was crazy.  The worst thing that happened in my group was a leaking colostomy.  One of our techs up and left early and left a ton of work to be done for the other tech.  It will be nice to have tonight of.  Although I am bored.  My life away from work consists of cleaning and reading.  I'm also looking for a new apartment/townhome.

A couple weeks ago, I had a weird adversion to smoking.  It came out of nowhere.  Witht that said I am smoking one cigarette a day.  Sometimes it's two.  I honestly was not planning on quitting but it just happened so I'm going with it.

I started Christmas shopping and hope to be done by Thanksgiving.  I'm not dealing with crowds.  Bird told me it's going to be a scant Christmas since my brother needs a freaking lawyer and all his court shit is emptying my parents.  I don't want anything from them.  I do want to make it special and give them some nice stuff.  Afterall, they deserve everything after what they've put up with.

work, family, smoking
