One week in and I’m already snappy. Fantastic. I just get tired of our world always revolving around him. I can’t even go to sleep when I want to!
I’ll find a solution eventually.

Tomorrow is my last day doing clinicals with AScott at TGH. He’s awesome and it saddens me that I probably won’t see him again until the fall. I move on to UCH…the 19th I believe. Apparently the lady that was sending the students out un supervised on their first day was fired because no one has seen her since. DARN. I love it so much. Lecture on the other hand…
This past week ahs just been brutal on me. three “fill-in-the-blank” tests. David leaving for five weeks this weekend (to arkansas for work training). My aunt Nina has brain tumors. the list goes on. I finally broke down today. twice. Stress management is not my forte lately.
In other news, I saw old man peen tuesday. I’m sure Ivy will appreciate that >_<
TGH Orientation

Who’s idea was it to build TGH on an island? Really? Our main disasters come from hurricanes and they built the hospital on an island? At least some patients get a beautiful view of sunset from their rooms? You know, after getting moved up to a higher floor because of flooding >_<
We had our orientation there. It’s a lovely hospital. One MILLION square feet after all the floors are open in the new wing (which will include A SPA FYI) though. I’m going to be so lost, ha. It’s a really good hospital – there’s pretty much nothing they DON’T do there, they have a great reputation, they’re the sole disaster relief hospital (think more chemical warfare than hurricanes) for the entire west coast of Florida. And the respiratory crew so far seem to be pretty OK people so far.
I’m there for six rotations before I move on to UCH and then Brooksville.
I still don’t feel ready for ANY of it. I have a lab Tuesday which will help refresh my memory somewhat (oh hey use a humidifier when the flow is 3LPM or higher on WHAT device again?) but I still feel quite intimidated. I suppose that won’t go away until I’m actually out there and get to see everything in action.
On a different note, today’s our third year wedding anniversary. The boy got up this morning and took off. Fantastic. Probably went to get the oil changed in the car, but Christ…
And Piggy is doing great now. He’s having a slight issue jumping, but he’s eating and I’ let him out (supervised) for awhile yesterday.
Also David and I did a test run to Davis Island so I would know how to actually get to the hospital and stayed out there for awhile and then went to bayshore for sunset. Here are the photos:
Piggy had to go to the vet again…

David called me while I was in class yesterday and I called him back at lunch time. Piggy wasn’t being Piggy-like. Wasn’t moving, very lethargic, etc. I’d seen him that morning and thought something was up, but was in a rush to get ready for class. He said Nano was waiting for me to come home from school to talk about taking him to the vet and I was all “fuck that take him NOW”. I’m scheduled there until 3:15 and wouldn’t have been home until after four and the vet would be ready to close by the time we got Pigz loaded up and there. So David told Nano I said to take him to the vet and he did.
Of course I couldn’t concentrate for my next class >_< But we got out early at least.
They were back by the time I got home. One of the neighbor’s cats have been hanging around lately and last night Piggy and Gray Cat decided to pick on him. Apparently Neighbor Cat Got a few licks in on Piggy. He has two bites/scratches on him but otherwise checked out fine. They gave him a shot of some antibiotic and sent him home with some pills. He’s sleeping in Sara’s room right now.
I thoguht for sure the cat treats were poisoned – all five of them were snubbing this particular bag and I thoguht maybe Piggy ate some after all and something was wrong.
If he hasn’t started eating by Wednesday she said to bring him back in, but if not then we just bring him back next week.
The vet that took care of him when he had his leg issue saw Piggy was there on the chart and came in to see him though she had another patient to see him >_< Everyone loves the Piggy!

Let’s just get one thing straight.
My friends mean the world to me. I would, will, and do anything I can to protect them and be there for them. I don’t understand how anyone wouldn’t do anything they could for their friends. Sure, there is that line where your wellbeing and happiness should be taken care of before trying to keep your friends happy, but seriously, stop and listen to what they have to say first before jumping to conclusions and start calling them, or their actions, unnecessary names.
I suppose that in the end, this is how I can tell who really gives a damn about me in return.
