Nip-It

I thought having clinical at 11 AM would give me plenty of time to get some sleep the night before.

I was wrong.

Why?

Because Game 6 of the World Series dragged on for way too many innings. I stayed up late watching the game.

When morning arrived I had a 45 minute drive. I really enjoyed it. I'm used to driving 5 minutes to clinical in the morning ands still being half asleep when I arrive. The 45 minute drive gave me time to wake up and enjoy the colorful display of the Fall leaves.

I made it on time...early actually.

It is a beautiful facility.

The sad thing, the Rangers lost the game the night before.

I knew I would be stuck at the hospital during the final game of the series.

I kept up on my phone.

Lance entertained me with pictures of his Halloween Costume.

Can you guess who he is?

Steve Prefontaine

 I'm not sure, but it looks like he shaved his chest in this pic...and his armpits ;)

I arrived home close to midnight and I had a package waiting!

It was filled with more Rangers gear and it rubbed salt into my newly formed wound (we lost).

I was also sent an article in Reader's Digest about the 50 secrets your nurse won't tell you. I enjoyed reading it and then hit the bed hard.

I received a Thank You card from Trinity and Chelsie.

It's so pretty. 

I slept in this morning.

I got up and did a little schoolwork. I had some Nip-It modules to do for Peds. They were learning modules that educates on vaccines. I finished all those up and checked 'em off the list.

Here are some new photos of the pretty fall leaves.

I went to PetCo mainly because it is right next to the grocery store. It was convenient and I needed to get a pet carrier for Alley.

I had to resist playing with all the kittens....it just had to be pet adoption day on the day I walked in there.

I brought the thing home and tried to get Alley acquainted with it.

I hope she likes it and doesn't freak out on the plane next month.

studying

I've been changing my study space.

Most of the time I have been studying in bed. The past week or so I've been changing it up. I moved it downstairs last weekend and moved it into my actual study room today.

I came downstairs this afternoon to eat some food. I ended up falling asleep and taking a nap on the couch. Those things are addicting. 

At the moment I am trying to consume a large quantity of water. I woke up with a huge headache this morning and I think it was because I was dehydrated. I barely got any fluids in me over my 12 hour workday yesterday. Bad Rachel!
