doors and thankfulness stuff
why do some things make me so grouchy? i got a phone call this eve from someone i really care about.. but it was so agrivating to me. every single thing they said was meant with a completely kind and innocent spirit.. but it made me so infuriated, initially. i'm better now, but i just don't understand my mood at all!
something else
it's true, when God closes one door, He opens another. i'm seeing that much more clearly lately. i've noticed some situations in my life that are kinda slipping away right in front of me. i can't control them, and i'm trying to hang on as long as i can, but on the other hand i see new things beginning to errupt that are exciting and will probably take the place of things that i'm losing. i'm so thankful these new things are coming along or i would very -------. leaving this word out purposely... i have so many things to be thankful for. i really see some changes in my life, especially in the things i've been praying about.. and for these i'm SO thankful.
this semester is going to be better i believe. i'm kinda excited, i'm finally starting to feel a little like a nurse. i learned how to take out stitches, staples, set up an IV pump, add drugs to it, work a PCA pump, and give IV push drugs. it was sooo much fun. i worked w/ katrina and we did everything possible to that IV tubing to see what would happen. i think they call it learning by experience. I now also know that u always have to roll the tubing clamp down before disconnecting it or you squirt your instructor with .9 of normal saline.. poor katrina.. it was hilarious. we also gave a fake patient about 5ml of air... so thats what happens if you hold the IV bag below the IV tubing.. hehe... we also learned that you have to be smarter than the needles u use so that they don't stab you... also was not me.. but it was a very entertaining morning and i'm very excited to be in this clinical group. they are some fun/funny girls. also i think maybe i like the orch instructor more and more. we are playing Rossini's The Barber of Seville.. great piece! well, i'm getting tired now. enough typing.
i work the weekend. tomorrow i have two quizzes. i gotta buy a book for home health. i have quartet practice. i have to find someone to cover my shift saturday evening so i can do a gig paying each of us $75... so yea.. busy friday in store for me. goodnight!
