All I ever write about is work.
All I ever do is work.
As always, crazy times last night. But the insanity of it all gave me more confidence in my skills as a nurse. I did another IV on the hard-start patient and I did a quick IV start on a patient with a third-degree heartblock who was waiting for the ICU ambulance team to take him out of town for a pacemaker. I picked up that a patient with a bowel obstruction was having either a TIA or a stroke. I learned how to do a non-stress test.
But sometimes when I come home from a hard day at work, or from a good exhilarating day at work, I wish I had something to cuddle with.
My coworkers have suggested I get a dog or a cat or a kitten or a hedgehog.
A friend suggested a hamster.
Please, I need suggestions for a new friend.
Preferences/requirements of JV's new friend:
- must like cuddling
- must be soft or fuzzy (not slimey)
- must not be smelly

one word: BUNNY
There's no question regarding their softness. They are very clean and can be litter trained. If the ones at school will let anyone touch them, then surely someone could form a consistent cuddling relationship with one bunny they live with. They are also very quiet.
The only downsides are:
1. They eat anything on or near the floor (i.e. wires, paper, cardigans)
2. Vet bills (you'd probably at least have to pay to have it spayed or neutered)
3. Pets are wonderful, but then there's always the additional consideration - "but who would look after my bunny when I'm away?".
Other cuddly options include:
- fleece pants
- chenille cardigans and/or blankets
- big bag of cotton balls
I shall think on this some more. There must be more options available for those of us who sit on buses remarking on their Spinster status.
qp, as if you actually suggested a big bag of COTTON BALLS (*shudder*).
clearly i have neglected to confess to you my serious aversion to them.
most days i can not bring myself to say the words "cotton balls". most days i get goonies when other people mention them. and i can NOT touch them.
when i went to public health for my TB test, i had to ask her to put them away and find something else to use.
i know, i'm a spinister AND a freak.
