6/9/24

 I woke up at 3:00 am. I was thirsty. So thirsty. I am not sure maybe I didn’t hydrate well enough yesterday but I downed a large glass of water. THEN, I laid in bed eyes open thinking about working at the ER tonight as well as the things I need to do today to prepare for my weekly Monday meetings as well as organize myself for the week.

Wait, did I take my anxiety meds? I find if I wake up in the night thinking like this, I forgot to take my anxiety medication. 

I love that there is modern medicine that quiets down those inner thoughts available at our finger tips. I am the dummy who forgets to take them sometimes. Now I am mad at my yesterday self.

I could have prepared for these meetings on Friday, but I focused my time in other areas within my scope of work. It really boils down to I made a decision not to work on it Friday and here I am. I made this bed for myself, without my anxiety medication on board. Yes, I (and my family) can tell if I miss a dose. Can you say chemical imbalance?

Up I got and poured a large cup of coffee and hoped that I could nap in the afternoon to offset this loss of sleep. I hopped on my computer and started working away. It’s ok, tomorrow I will be catching some zzzz’s in the morning.

I went in to take a quick nap to prepare for the evening shift. I was pissed because I didn’t nap. However, I did enjoy the cool breeze from the window fan and my noise machine blocking all noise.

There were lots of surgeries. I got to work with a couple of good tech’s. I have worked with them before and we all work well together. I was pissy on the way to work, but the people really helped  alleviate that. 

The doctor bought us all insomnia cookies. Yum!

Happy birthday Sandy!
