I'm becoming a Vampire

It's 2300 and I'm wide awake lol.. so might as well study right? of course. Sleeping patterns has been out of whack lately (I'm wide awake at night and sleepy in the AM) -- the only thing missing is craving blood right? lol)

stress blows.

I'm happy to report that I did pretty well on my exam :) I actually did better than I thought --- the questions were tough.  Doing well means I have wiggle room just incase I frack-up on the next one coming in next week. Cardiac stuff, ECG interpretations..

The whole concept isn't difficult, it's the massive amount of information that I need to cram in my head is the problem.

I really should get back to studying.. hehe :)


Weightloss.. what weightloss. I've been doing really bad and I'm so ashamed. I can easily say I'll do better next week but it's easier to say than actual execution.

Hope everyone else is doing better. I need some good motivational kick in the butt!

I love this Shoes so much ---

that I bought a second pair (solid whites ) for clinicals -- Yowza! it's so well constructed and full of support that I glide instead of walking LOL They're called Reebox Zig Nano

But really they're super comfortable and works so well since I'm standing (and I'm serious) 6 hours straight in clinic.

Does that burn any calories?

Today I had my first exam for Med-surg. Didnt' get any sleep the night before so I'm dead tired. I think we get our grades this Sunday.. so till then I just have to sit and marinate and obsess over how well or how bad I did.

Anyway I hope you ladies are having a fabulous week so far!

Honey,  does this belly make me look fat?

Weird Sunday Experience

This morning I had someone rang the doorbell at 6-freaking AM on a Sunday morning. At first I thought it was the mister, but it was some guy asking if a person named "JT" live here. I was like -- no there's no one with that name that lives here. He replied, "Oh okay -- it's probably the next house"

For the life of me, I wasn't wearning my glasses, so I didn't get to look at him clearly. I'm blind as a bat without them.. All I knew was he parked right in the front curb in some gold van, and he's wearing a red shirt and khakis..

But I'm like -- why would anyone knock at someone's door at 6AM to ask if so and so lives there? Should you know which house whoever you're looking for?

Anyway I'm getting all paranoid but could that be a possible burglar trying to scope the neighborhood to see who lives where?

It's scaring the bejesus out of me.

Any suggestions?

Kinda random but it totally put it into perspective for me.

Today was an interesting day. I got invited to a little lunch get together with a group of housewives in my neighborhood. It's kind of nice because living out here (in the boonies) is so very isolating.  It's so refreshing meeting new people and socializing. Apparently, they do this get-together every month.

And speaking of socializing -- I'm a bit rusty lol

I sometimes feel a bit awkward or worried about saying the wrong things and offending someone. Yikes.. I need to get out more! lol

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Poop Friday

Encountered poop today at clinic. Didn't bother me at all, which is good because that's just one of those things you can't avoid when you're a nurse. lol

I was working with this lovely lady. She's super sweet and very misunderstood I think.  I don't really understand why people would say she's disoriented, when it's so obvious that she really just can't hear.

God, this passed 3 days --- 3 DAYS! felt like a month has just passed. That's how dead tired I am.  There so much to do and so little time. Sucks ass if you ask me.

I got another week to study for my first Med-Surg Exam. I really wanted to do well in this class. I don't want to fracking fail.

I haven't worked out since Tuesday -- pretty bummed but I'm hoping once I get the groove of things I can start it again. I'm doing pretty good with avoiding sweets and I honestly noticed I haven't been eating as much as I use to.

Haven't stepped in the scale either, but I'm sure there's nothing significant in it. I've been doing P90x Kenpo and Yoga x -- love it. I actually felt sore afterwards, which means I probably worked out something I haven't in awhile and shook up some "cobwebs".

I hope everyone is doing better in their quest for health. Wish you all a fabulous weekend ahead!

Tomorrow is the big day

For some reason, I kind of like what the banner said. I have been eating less to no sugar at all this past week. I noticed I've been ultra sensitive to it where I find myself with a nasty headache.

Maybe it is a good thing that I've been getting these symptoms. It totally makes me think twice about buying or eating anything sweet.  

Breakfast today was a croissant sandwich with orange marmalade. It was super tasty.

I've been trying to stay focus and complete my flashcards for review. But I can't seem to concentrate. The weather outside is fabulous -- why in the world may I indoors?

This is one of those days I wish we live close to the beach. I miss the ocean.

I'm going to do a double feature in my workout today. I didn't get the chance to do anything yesterday because I was too busy fracking around online. Where is my focus damnit! :)

I end up buying a new pair of sneakers and some cute summer sunglasses.

I'm just so thrilled with the color! I love green! Too bad I can't wear colors in clinic-- I wouldn't think twice sporting this baby. Come to think of it -- forget it. The last thing I need is this cutie stained with poop and blood and everything else in between.

I've been eye-ing this for a while now. It was originally $99 and it went down to $49 so I jumped at the opportunity :)

In other news, I got real pissed this morning when I discovered our neighbor dumped their fracking garbage in our bin. I can understand if their bin was full but it was not. So why the frack did she do that?

I caught up with her and ask her if she did it. And suprisingly she admitted and said she should have ask me -- Uh... yea!

I told her to try not to put her garbage in our bins since we needed the space to throw the tumble weeds that's been accommulating in our side yard. I said it nicely of course.

They're nice people and we've exchange goodies once in a while. But does that make it okay for them to do that? Or am I just over-reacting.  Can someone tell me straight up? I won't take offense if it the case lol
