from the nest

last night was my final mentored shift. Henceforth i am on my own.

some highlights from the night:
  • eating. it started with half a rocky road square (because i felt it my duty to know what they are like). then it moved on to party mixed, closely followed by licorice allsorts, a nice salad (the 2am health break), the other half of the square (i figured it was my duty to finish it because no one else would and then it would be wasted *gasp*), a round of popcorn (the perfect 4am snack), and a pre-sleep snack of yogurt and fruit. And i wonder why i'm never hungry when i wake after a nightshift?
  • reading (Son of a Witch, by Gregory Maguire)
  • knitting (i have fallen very far behind on my knitting. i hang my head in shame. and in snobbery because i couldnt help but think that the blanket a colleague was crocheting was U-G-L-Y. warm, but not so asthetically pleasing. too busy.)
  • games! First i learned how to play skip-bo. then we were going to play Spit but as i am a rather loud Spit player and it was 5am - a little too early to wake up my patients. instead i learned how to play a fun and easy card game called Golf.
  • not accidently euthanizing my palliative patient
  • the following quote declared by a coworker to me: "at least you can say you got felt up tonight"
