Monday Monday!

I had such aspirations for this Monday morning!  I was going to get up super early, start my paperwork, complete a load of laundry, and have my day completely mapped out before my first patient.  Yeah, that was me.... all prepared and stuff.  Needless to say at the 5am alarm- I pushed off, rolled over and woke up at 830.  Since laundry takes two hours to complete- it will be done at 1030- which is the time I need to leave for my first patient.  Goodbye Monday!  Today will be filled with craziness of sorts, but I feel confident I will accomplish enough- even if I don't get to go to sleep tonight!  FHE tonight!

I do want to do a shout out to Shannon.  I met Shannon through Ross at a fireside a week ago.  She called me incessantly at midnight once after I had talked to Ross about something that concerned him (I honestly have no idea what it was).  I never answered because I was.... ya know.... asleep at midnight!  I call it 'turning into a pumpkin'.  Since I was in pumpkin mode, we didn't talk.  I texted her later.  We started talking yesterday.  I had some concerns with going to the Single's ward.  I don't like them and never quite feel like I belong.  Anyway, when she answered- I felt my heart bounce when she sounded like a 14-year-old cheerleader.  I honestly thought she had just finished a tray of brownies.  But, I'm not here to bash her.  Contrary, I'm here to thank her.  She spoke some comfort to my soul and I'm thankful she put my mind at ease some.  I'm not sure I'd recognize her, but she invited me to sit with her during conference.  She is my hero currently.  I don't usually have the courage to talk to strangers- new to the ward or not.  If people were more inviting and outgoing like her, I'm sure the world would be in a much better state- perhaps a little peace of Heaven?  (I spelled it that way on purpose..... get the message?!)

Anyway, for fun- I came across a security photo that I had to take when I took the NCLEX:


can we say ew?  My goodness look at my face....  :(
Duck face!  I don't know why but it makes my face feel skinnier whether or not I look ridiculous.  Taken just a few minutes ago.  I know I'm makeupless and in my pjs.  Told you I wasn't ready for this Monday!


Normal picture- but this is nothing special either like that security pic- ew.
