Hey girls!
Ah! It's Monday!
I started MESO 3 today, with DISC 25, Chest & Back. OMG, those weights were heavY! Pooped me out. I didn't even think the 1 and 1/2 minute rests were too much, that's how much it pooped me out! My chest, esp, was really feeling it. will be interested to see what the DOMS damage is tomorrow...
Actually had a quiet night at work last night! Amazing! Our census on our unit remained very low, and we only got one admission all night. Weird, since the entire hospital's census is high! Not sure why they left us alone. It's a sad place during the holiday season though. Not sure why, but it seems there are more deaths during this time of year. We had 3 people die over the weekend, and one was sure to go to heaven today. So depressing. I have to tell you about this really sweet kid that works with us though. He's 19, hispanic, from a messed up home, really. His mother was a drug addict, family involved in gangs, with murders, etc. He basically takes care of his family , and his mom. HE is THE sweetest kid. He's a Nurse's Aide on our floor. So nice to the patients. They all really love him. He had worked wed, thurs and fri nights, and on Saturday night, his day off, he went out with his buddies. Had had a few drinks, and ended up calling us at work in the middle of the night, saying he wanted to make sure we turned this patient (who was terminal and dying) towards the window so she could see the snow. She had told him she loved the snow. OMG, I have tears in my eyes NOW thinking about how sweet that was. ...
Tough time of year at work...
And all this made me think so much of Joanne. My heart breaks for her! Hope you're doing ok out there, Joanne!!
Kathy: I thought about you as I pushed heavy on the weights today!... Hope you have a good CCD class, that should be fun teaching!
Beth: Yay for yoga today! Sounds like a good one. I bet you're looking forward to STS tomorrow! Are you?? ... You realy should try running in the colder weather, it is exhilirating!! just make sure you dress in layers in case you need to strip off something. TRY IT!!
Hottie: Hope you feel better! You need to boost your immune system somehow, girl, you are always getting sick! ((hugs)) Don't push the workout today. doesn't sound like a wise choice if you're feeling so bad. And I can't beleve you are at work!!!
better go shower, and russle up some supper for the boys..they'll be bounding in the house from CCD in about 40 minutes!
