Yeah, I'm starting to remember why I was considering jumping ship off LJ. *grrr*

Well, then.

All I have to say about the latest lj dramaram boldthrough WHATEVER is that--Boy, am I happy I already shelled out for a perm account here. And backed up my journal.

Today was a looong day. I started off okay, and then got a call telling me I had to go down to Barefoot Bay to see patients for a nurse who called off sick. It was a fifty mile drive from where I was. I did a start of care and then two quick visits and then drove my happy ass back up to MIMS. An EIGHTY mile drive, thank you very much.

Still. For those measly visits I got double the perdiem rate. Which meant 116$ for the admission and 68$ each visit! SWEET. Also, my expense check for this two week period is three hundred bucks, WOO!

( I don't talk about money much, but I figure almost no one is reading this so truly, I don't give a fuck.)

I'm tired, my eyes hurt, my ass hurts and I MUST go to the beach tomorrow. Yes. Cape Canaveral. Glassy breaking waves, low tide, rising and falling in the sea. Yeah. Tomorrow is a beach day.

So today was a good day. I mention this because it seems like, lately, there's been more bad days than good.

I moved a hydrangea that had been struggling, turned over the compost pile, planted a rose that'd been lingering in the pot ghetto for TOO LONG, and fertilized and watered half the garden. Oh, and I sprayed for bugs. Go me! (And what's more, I did all that in between visits.)

After I got home, I started working on cleaning. I've been having this problem focusing lately, and when I was trying to straighten up, I kept getting all distracted by shiny things and never got anything done. So--I did all the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, dining room and living room. Vacummed the entire house and took three bags of trash out! Then Craig came over and we hung out for awhile.

So yeah. It was good.

Is this thing on?

Well, since I have a permanent account, I figure I should get used to posting here. That being said, I just friended some folks, kind of randomly. Basically I looked up some of my interests and thought you guys looked neat. I'm not an axe murderer, I swear.

Work is...well, it's just work. My patients are all doing okay. Some wounds are healing and other people just keep doing all the things I keep telling them not to do. I have to shrug that off, and do what I can. Still, only four visits makes an easy day, seriously.

I biked fourteen miles, picked up my daughter from school early, and then went on a jaunt to Bath and Body works. (They're having INSANE sales, BTW. Those glycerin soaps? 1 dollar each!) And then I took the baby out to dinner at Red Lobster, WHEE! I should clarify that 'the baby' is now almost eight. Yikes.

Tomorrow looks to be okay--I should have time for a bike ride if I want, but truthfully, I'm just exhausted. I have been trying to go without my sleeping medicines and so far it's kind of a draw. I get to sleep, then have nightmares all night. Bummer.

Now about those 300 icons.....

Last night I had a horrible nightmare. In a school, I was watching teachers beat up students and nobody did anything about it. Details are vague. Then, I was in a bathtub relaxing in the hot water when I looked up and saw blood puddling in the ceiling tiles. Slowly, it gathered and started dripping down on me, staining the water red.

Horrible.
