I'm getting ready to go to bed. I was offered the opportunity to come home early tonite and I took it. I hadn't been feeling quite myself. Odd stuff going on.
After yesterday, I was so exhausted from 2 hours sleep and then going to work till 1pm at the office.. I came home very sore. I could bearly walk- it reminded me of Tim Conway when he did the 'little old man' thing but this time I wasn't laughing.
Today I got up late- 10:30am.. Wendell woke me up knowing I had to be at the hospital today for work. I was so tired when I got up, and worse than that, I felt 'foggy'. I was making those dopey mistakes again. I tried almost successfully to take my Friday meds and stopped. I asked Wendell what day it was. I just couldn't remember. (Glad no one asked me what year it was).. I was putting my makeup on when I realized I was doing it in reverse order of the routine. AAARRRGGHHH!! Had to start over. I had breakfast at almost noon and then was ready for work- the only bread I could find was stale.. so I made myself a stale peanut butter sandwich. I figured I'd be thankful for it later.
On the way to work, there is road construction on Rt 8. I , of course, got in the wrong lane and had to wait for traffic to go by before I could continue. Just another frustration to add to the list. When I got to work I found myself on the West side and that is the smaller unit which is normally much easier - when I'm not there.
Things were out of order in the charts. I finally gave up and decided to not correct every error I found, but let someone else deal with it. I was asked to do a transfer of a patient to another room. I waited for a good 40 minutes before I took on this task. The room number has to be changed on every paper in the chart and the med records and the kardex. At last I finished....just in time to have the charge person tell me they had changed their minds and we were not moving her after all. It's been a frustrating day.
I'm tired. I know that's why all the little things have become mountainous to me. I'll be fine in the morning...really.
Wendell says we had a visitor this afternoon in the front of the house under the picnic table.. a skunk. Oh.. this is getting to be a real wildlife reserve around here. I saw the little creature later in the yard, but he ran before I could get his picture.. Tomorrow I need to go out and check the big hole in the window well to see if there is any more damage there. I think it's time to get rid of the brush pile in front of the house, eh?
I'm off to bed now.
Have a great rest of evening, bloggers...see you tomorrow..
