all things chicken

work: work is still going. still a mess. i still haven't talked to the doctor who didn't want to work with me. i'm working all weekend with a nice nightshift on christmas eve. maybe we'll wrap up random items and play santa for our patients. Dr.chickenlegs has gone abroad for a month so we are OR-free (no c-sections!!!!) No c-sections means no first-time mommas and no possible complicated deliveries since if they go wrong, we cant help them. there's a momma out there with the craziest birth plan. it makes us laugh. we should respect patient wishes but honestly, which nurse has time to sing HYMNS to a woman in labour as all her other children gather round to watch the miracle of life?!?!?

home: my momma is arriving tomorrow. she's coming to visit for christmas. she's going to bring me chicken nuggets. (she just may not know it yet...)

socializing: i was supposed to sing in the united church's rendition of the hallelujah chorus but i chickened out. i was invited to a party with "young people" but i chickened out. though a few nights later i went out for dinner with the party people and then we hung out and played cards so i'm only a baby chick! last night i went curling with some ladies form the hospital and even stayed around after to have drinks. the server at the bar told us to help ourselves to a tray of luncheon meat. mmm free mystery meat. pass on that one.

love: my doctor prescribed monthly vitamin shots. i think this month i shall ask for a shot of confidence to go with it. my friends, i, JV, am a chicken. i was invited to visit someone. i want to go visit this person. but i'm a big chicken and have lame excuses like " i have to work/cant get time off/don't have the money/don't speak the language/am too old/too young " .
