Manic Monday

As much as mondays are a blur and sometimes painful I am aware that they must occur in order to get to Friday! Today was not so bad... Noticeable points throughout my day were the following: -Mornings are completely busy for me and I definetly need my coffee to function. -Why can't I wake up before 7? (have to be at work by 8am!) -Why does my hair suck? -Do I have to do my makeup everyday? i like naked mondays! lol naked face wise! -I need new scrubs. -Im hungry again! damn. -I'm poking someone, I have a right to refuse to answer the phone. Come find me! -My hands are dry i need to dip myself in oil! -What time is it, i havent peed for the last 3 hours!!! Despite my constant race of thoughts, i laughed through the day. I proved my work ethic and my competency. I got through my day and I reminded myself that in the end of the day, I was healthy and lucky to be alive. No need to complain or feel sorry for myself because I had to be working or because I had a load of patients to see in a limited amount of hours. You see, working in Oncology is not always a happy filled day for nursing; there are days that you see loss and a grieving family. But amongst all this sadness, you also see gratefulness, bravery, and simpleness. Because in the end, you are what you have lived and experienced. You have lived.
