When I was talking to my boss yesterday she said "oh yeah, this is your first death" so I have the day off today.  One of her patients died last week and she's so calm about it.  But to reassure me that it's okay and that this is just the first of many to come, she told me the funniest story ( Read more... )

I'm chillin' at home today. I decided to spend my day off doing nothing. I'm not going to run errands or do anything constructive. I'm going to have some quality sit on my butt time.
