Spring break started today. I had clinical this morning and it went really well. I was one of the charge nurses which means I was supervising two of my other classmates as they did their work. It was less hands on patient care which I don't like all that much cause I live for interacting with my patients, but it went well.
I was feeling really good, then I got home. There was a box of girl scout cookies in the mailbox with the words love you mom written on them. I have been on and off miserable ever since.
I tried to cheer myself up. I picked up my comic books, which I hadn't in ages. The owner was there and we talked and changed my box around. I'm only having them pull three comics for me right now because bills are tight and summer is going to be a lot with school, but the comics helped cheer me up. I also got a sandwich and spent time with my dad's dog.
Then I went into work. A family had brought us donuts. A resident that has been having problems was calm for me today and a resident that is picky about her shower let me give her one and was please with my help. We weren't short for once and I had a good team to work with. So all in all I had a really good day.
Except I cried over girl scout cookies. I haven't taken any of her calls or responded to any of her facebook messages so I don't know why she thought it was okay to stop by my grandma's house where she knows she isn't welcome and drop off cookies. I was going to take them into work so my coworkers could eat them and they could be gone. I didn't want to even look at them. Then I told my grandma about it. She stopped what she was doing, look at me and said, "You mean the asshole was here?" Then she insisted I give her the cookies. So she got a free box of Thin Mints.
I'll be okay, it's just throwing me for a loop.
On the upside I have this story I've been meaning to share for ages cause it still makes me smile. I was taking care of a patient and she fell asleep during lunch. She did not want to be woken up, so as soon as lunch was over I took her to her room and put her to bed. As soon as she realized she was in bed she sat up and started cussing me out as she shook her fist at me. She continued to do this as I put the head of her bed up, but it was sparatic and tired until she fell asleep mid-curse.
