I made it beyond 200 days stuck here in the armpit of the south. I cannot believe I have so many more days ahead of me. Oh well, like an alcoholic, i have to put in one day at a time.
Yesterday, i met a friend for a late lunch and then we went for drinks. the bar had bingo and I have to admit it was fun sitting around a bar playing bingo while sipping a beer - I look forward to doing that again.
Today, I am going to make some bread pudding. I have been wanting some for so long now and I figured why not make it myself. I had ordered some at a local restaurant and it was not good and way over priced! So,I bought a cheap cake in the bakery on my way home last night and I am about to assemble the ingredients and see how it turns out - wish me luck!
Well, that is about all for now..

190...big gay moment??
Hectic and crazy are words I would use to describe the past few days. I am still learning about the building and my responsibilities and it does not help that the orientation here suck big rotten ass! It is sort of a 'figure it out on tour own' type of place and that can be a bit much at times. Combine that with situations here that would NEVER ever occur on the outside and it becomes a head scratcher.
There are situations I would love to elaborate on, but being is such a small facility it may be too telling to even provide the vaguest details. so I err on the side of cautions and leave all details out. Trust me there were some BIG issues that I just can't get into.
One other weird thing happened before I left. I was running my mouth to the oncoming shift when a couple of surgical resident came nosing around the unit. I suppose they were following one of the two new admits. These were spanking new residents and it showed in every way. One came and spoke to a colleague and the other was look around for something.
Anyway, the one nosing around was very muscular and even in scrubs you could tell he was huge. i don't know why but I found myself staring at him and just could not take my eyes off of him. In my mind i was thinking, 'how the hell does he ever find the time to put that many hours in the gym?' So, in the midst of my obvious staring a co-worker has noticed my new fascination and he is giving me an odd look. I don't even know how to begin to explain what I was doing - so I didn't try. I guess he thought I was having a gay moment and who knows maybe I was.

187....effen dog!!!
One of my dogs has been getting on my nerves lately. I have two pooches, one is 11 and the other is 8. The 11 year old is a typical "old man", he sleeps almost all day, he is uber slow to do anything and his eyesight is fading very fast. When I see him go up or down the stairs i cannot help but think that he is in his twilight year(s).
The 8 year old is spoiled rotten. She is an attention whore like none other. She receives attention, treats, special oatmeal baths and her very own chewies and pillows. But is that enough - NO! She has started to pee the bed. Not her bed, but my bed! My king-sized sterns and foster!
The first pee happened about two weeks ago and it was within 30 minutes of taking her out to pee. She was upset about something so it was her way to pay back. She got in trouble and I thought we ended that little issue. Last week she did it again and again yesterday. Now she is banned from the bedroom until further notice.
Since I have dogs I have a few layers of mattress covers with the top one being waterproof. So no matter how much she pees it never reaches the mattress, but it still pisses me off when she does it.
Last night when I went to bed I saw where she had pissed the bed. Tired and irritated I pulled all the sheets and mattress protector off the bed and put them in the washer. I then closed the bedroom door and banished the dogs from entry. This morning I am still mad and made her get off the sofa and no treats today.
I am gonna break her of this new little phase or she will be treated like a dog!

186...boring
i finished up a three day stretch and I feel like someone has run me down with a dump truck. Work was a bit dull and boring this weekend so why am I so freaking tired? I slept in until 0930 and an hour later I am starting to feel like my body is waking up.
Good news on the dieting front as I seem to be sticking to my diet. I am keeping things very simple for the first few weeks. My morning is around 200-300 calories. Lunch is 300 to 500 calories and dinner I try to stay slightly under 500 calories and I have not felt the need to snack. My only additional calories are coming from coffee creamer. So under 1500 cal a day and I have already dropped six pounds - yea!
Life really has gotten very dull! I wake up and eat maybe watch some television. Surf the net for an hour or two, then study for a few hours. the studying makes me sleepy so I take a nap. I wake up and fix a stack and start the whole process over again until time for bed. So very dull! And no end in site!
I have a final exam in September and when I get that out of the way it will be time to review for the GRE (again). Once those two are behind me I can start to have a little fun with my life! I cannot wait to get done with these two hurdles.
