Life is crazy sometimes. I feel like I can hardly take a breath right now. I've been so busy that I have no time to do anything that I love to do. I guess I shouldn't complain, it won't be like this forever. And I do like to be busy and active..but sheesh.
I've been working two jobs lately..outpatient clinic in the morning, and home health in the evenings. I don't think I knew what I was signing up for when I started doing HH. I guess I do like the flexibility of it, but at the same time, I do thrive better with a schedule! I like schedules. and lists. I have to start going over my work a few days before hands..read evaluations and decide how/what I'm going to do with the patient to follow out the plan of care. I have to schedule the patients by looking on my GPS to see what my quickest routes will be. I have to keep track of mileage. I have to speak to worried family members on a daily basis. I have to figure out ways to trick (maybe coerce is a better word?) patients into doing what I need them to do. I have to make sure there aren't any type of bed sores, high blood pressure, etc going on..most of these people are elderly and pretty fragile. Something so easy can go unnoticed and land them back in the hospital. I know all of this sounds so boring..but it's my life right now! After I see the patients, I have to go home and do charting (which takes me about an hour or a little more) and then try to fit in a run if I can with Angelle..by then I have no desire to cook or clean or read or do any of the other things I enjoy. I find myself staying up til midnight just so I can read a chapter of a book. Thank God the time just changed so I can have an extra hour! I actually had a couple free hours yesterday..I took Chai for a walk/run..I need to do that more often. Poor puppy is just fenced in all day with no one to play with! Sometimes it makes me feel guilty.
This is a boring post. I'm sorry.
This weekend I have to sit in a continuing education class all day Saturday and Sunday. Sunday I have to race home (the class is in Lafayette) and make it to Fleet Feet in Baton Rouge by 5 because Angelle and I are doing a St. Paddy's day run! I know I'll be ready to go home, but I think it will be fun. It's a 3.17 mile race. We have only had time to fit in 2 runs this week, but I think we'll do fine. Next weekend we are doing a 4 mile race in New Roads, which should be pretty fun as well.
That's pretty much my life lately! Can't tell you what the last movie I saw was. Last album I bought was Beck a few weeks ago, and I still am listening to it. I can't stop. All I do is drive all day long so I must have good jams to listen to! Today, it took me an hour and a half to get home. I listened to Justin Timberlake the whole way. That made it better. okay. bye.
