Man.....shin splits are AWFUL! Awful I tell you! I am so stubborn. I knew yesterday I shouldn't have run because they were sore, but I did anyway. Today, I kept telling myself "OK, after work, NO YMCA. You're legs need a break. They still hurt." What did I do? Drove myself straight to the Y and ran. I can hardly walk now. I look somewhat like a penguin, really. It's pathetic. I will absolutely NOT go workout tomorrow.
There was something else I was gonna say, but I cant remember what it was. It wasn't important, I know that much. It was some random, silly comment that had nothing to do with anything. Hmm.
No clue.
Oh yeah! I DO remember now. Yeah, so I decided I need to buy one of those travel sized Febreze bottles. I have home health patient that I see after work. This one lady smokes the whole time I am there (Gag, cough, ew) and when I leave, I smell absolutely disgusting. I think maybe if I'm able to Febreze my whole entire body from my hair down to my toes (it DOES stick to my hair and shoes, ya know)...then maybe I won't smell so horrible until I get a chance to shower.
Stupid loan companies. I HATE THEM! I got a bill for my loans a few days ago. I should not be repaying them until February! AND it's not like its a 10 dollar payment that I can afford, oh no...it's 250 bucks a month. Now I have to find time to get the deferment form, take off of work so I can go up to school and stand in a damn line for 2 hours or so, so that the school can sign it and say I have been a full timer for the past 2 semesters. Ugh. I can't ask off at a new job for that. Stupid loans! Someone wanna pay 'em off for me? :) I would love you forever and ever.
I preferred my Stewie icon, but a couple of ya didn't know what I look like, and since my last post, I figured I better use this stupid picture for a few days. :)
It's a sad thing when life is too busy and hectic that you can't even update a lil ol' journal anymore.
Ok ya'll...you've seen my picture before (used to be my user icon). I look like a girl...right? RIGHT?!
There was this crazy patient that was at work today. She is bipolar, and I think a little bit insane on top of that. Anyway, she was sittin there in therapy and started going nuts - crying and saying weird things, not making any sense. Then she looks at me and says "I'm SO glad you're a woman!......you ARE a woman, right?" I just nodded, turned, and went into my office because I was trying so hard not to laugh. Once in the door, I laughed SOO hard and couldn't go back and see her for a quite a while. My boss followed me in and we were both cracking up. Was pretty funny.
Well my cat attempted to kill me while I was in the bathtub. Again. He was in the corner of the room, by the bathtub, playing with....who knows what he was playing with. Something on the floor, and there is no telling. Anyway, all the sudden, he just POUNCED on me! Clawed up my shoulder. I dunno if he thought he was being CUTE or MEAN or what, but I wasn't friggin laughin. Hurt a bunch.
A patient today told me I was just a "young spring chicken" and "so cute". I guess thats good. Is being a fuzzy yellow ball good? Hmm.
Aww...and this other patient that I have ...he is just adorable! I was helping him walk, and when he went to sit down, he was reaching back for his wheelchair and ended up grabbing my thigh instead. He was soooo embarassed, and it really wasn't a big deal at all. He said "Oh my gosh!! I am soooo sorry, I meant to grab the chair" and started rambling on. I kept telling him not to worry about it, but he was just horrified. How sweet is that? I love my patients.
I'm off to find some dinner. It's 7:15 and I'm hungry. Maybe I'll find some chicken feed to nibble on. Well, thats my attempt at a somewhat humorous post. :) OOHH, wish me luck!! D-Day is August 29th. The day. The day I take my National board exam for physical therapy. The day that decides if I get my license or not. Eeep. I'm scaring myself. Enough of that.
Ok, so I decided I should write a lighthearted and funny post, seeing as the past few I've made have been pretty dull - just about work and such things.
Hmm.
I can't seem to come up with anything to say that is either lighthearted, or even an attempt at being funny. Sorry guys. I will try harder next time. :)
I had to get renewed for my CPR - it expires at the end of the month, and luckily for me, at my job, not only do I NOT have to pay for it, I get paid to go! Woohoo. So all morning I've been sucking face with a dummy. Haha. Anyway, the test is super easy, passed with a 100%. So if any of ya'll ever need mouth to mouth, I'm your girl.
I'm slightly annoyed, but only slightly, that the class was today. Today was the last day for one of the PT students so all the therapists took her lunch today, but my class ran 1/2 way through lunch. That sucked. I had to eat soup, which was no good at all.
I was talking with someone, and I dunno how but the subject of sex came up. Apparently, I'm severely naive. Did you know when someone refers to "Water Sports" they do not mean swimming or water polo? I had no idea what it actually meant. This guy asked if I liked water sports, and I said yes...everyone laughed. Hmph. So yeah. For the record, if I ever refer to liking water sports in any future posts, I mean ACTUAL water sports. :o)
Allright. I guess I better finish this no-good soup. Tomorrow is Friday, which means we can wear jeans. However, last week I wore them and realized, "Why the heck is everyone happy to wear jeans Friday? We get to wear windbreaker pants all week...Friday is practically dress-up day for us!" It's not nearly so comfortable to do therapy in jeans. Ah well.
...but not really. I kinda like being alone right now.
I'm the only therapist left in the building. All the PTs left early, and they get paid by salary, not hour, so its all good. The other PTA that works here is off today. That leaves just me, and I'm not leaving til 4:00 because I get paid by the hour. And I'm not gonna complain about just sitting here when I will get paid 7.50 to sit here for 30 minutes. Easy money, huh? :)
I don't have much that I feel like updating about. A LOT has been happening lately, but it's a bit too personal to post in a public journal, plus I wouldn't feel like typing it all out anyway. Let's just say I'm having conflicting emotions about some things and leave it at that.
I saw my favorite patient from when I was here as a student! He's an older guy that had an amputation, and I just love him to death. It was like seeing my grandpa after not having seen him for a long time. He was coming in to get serial casting so that he can eventually get his new leg! I was so happy for him. He's had it rough, so I'm soooo glad he's finally gettin' close to getting a leg. Speaking of, prosthetists are amazing. If I hadn't done PT, I woulda done that instead. They can do so many cool things.
Well...I got nothin else to say, or do. But at least I'm getting paid for it now. (Finally!)
I dreamed I was at my friend Kathryn's house, but it was her new apartment, and she had everyone she knew over. It was a party with lots of alcohol but her parents and my parents were there. I hadn't drank anything yet and was walking around, and realized my left eye felt really weird, so I went to the bathroom to check my contacts, and I had this little bump thing on part of my eye, and it was stuck to my eye and wouldn't come off. Then I realized I was starting to go blind, and that the color part of my eye (iris, right?) was getting smaller and smaller. It was 1/4 the size of my other eye. I ran and found my mom, and then Kathryn's house turned into a eye doctor office and we were trying to get an appointment, but he wouldn't let us without me having a pass from work saying I could be there. THEN, my sister came along and told me the doctor couldn't help me anyway because it was curse that someone had put on me, she read about it in a book before. Then I woke up. Freaky huh?
Yeah, so I woke up at 4:30 am, and can't get back to sleep now. Too wired. Now that I read over what I wrote, it doesn't sound as scary as it was in the dream. My heart was pounding when I woke up. I hate nightmares.
