So, I suppose I should send out the required post of thanks etc......
This past weekend, I was very fortunate in that I got to go out to the Ranch in MT one last time this fall. I just love it out there. There is something to be said about being in the middle of no where. One of my favorite thing about being out there is actually looking at the sky at night and actually seeing millions upon millions of stars. It is almost eerie to see everything without light pollution. Awesome.
The weekend was very nice and relaxing. Not having to focus about going to work was a nice break.
I had a great time with the family too. Thanksgiving dinner was actually on Friday and we had Roast Beef, potatoes, and green beans. One of my all time favorite meals and I wasn't even the one who ordered it! I feel very fortunate in that I do have a pretty close family. And we all like each other. Plus it is always a competition to see who the favorite uncle is....and it should be me, but my brother wins only cause he let them be flower girls in his wedding.....completely not fair. Oh well.....
My life right now is actually pretty dang good all things considered. I have a great job that I am not afraid of losing. (As people always seem to need heart surgery....) My co-workers are awesome as well. I am living with an awesome roommate in an awesome house which I am very thankful to the owners everyday. Plus living here lets me realize how living on my own would eventually turn out. I got to shovel snow last night! Well not !, but it still is fun (wait till I have to do it more than once a week, and we will see if I am still enthused.) I have great friends who know all about my neurotic brain and its ramblings at times. And they still like me for some reason.
And only to throw the word out there one last time: Awesome

Busy weekend
So I had to work my first Holiday of work. And I was lucky to pull (aka get left with) Labor Day weekend. And not just the weekend, but overnights. Now I shouldn't complain because I could work on a unit or floor where I have to do nights more frequently, but man was it rough having to switch to a new schedule.
Friday night was probably the most difficult for me. However, the night itself was not so bad. It was busy prior to us getting there, but once 2300 hit, the OR was silent.
The next night was not as hard to stay awake. Granted that may have been because I slept from 0800 to about 1830 waking up a few times in between. We did have an ortho case on, but I didn't have to do too much for it. I was supposed to do a general case (lap appy), but the other nurse loves doing them and wanted to do it. I had no qualms in giving it to her.
Sunday, I kept hearing the helicopters flying and landing on the hospital the whole day. I kept telling myself that the night was going to be rough if they kept bring people into the ER. Well when I got there, there wasn't anything going on, but like I thought the ER was crazy busy. So always on alert down in the OR (well actually just fingers crossed that nothing would have to come down). Finally we heard about a speenic laceration, and not only did we get ready, we got ready for 2 separate rooms. Because charge did not now where he wanted to put it. Ugh. But after we rushed to get this emergency case set up, they decided that they did not need to actually come down to the OR till the morning. Fine by me. This poor kid sounded like he was beat up pretty bad. Lesson learned: Always wear your seatbelt and physics will always win over a human body.
The rest of the night was probably my favorite. Myself and a coworker were trying to see if one of the ghosts that haunts the core would show itself, but nothing happened. Bummer. I also found a website where I can watch old seasons of The Amazing Race! Best part of my weekend! Now I will get to finish watching all the seasons/episodes that I never was able to catch. Awesome. Except now I have a time waster at my disposal.......
Just woke up from only about 4 hrs of sleep hoping that I can stay up till the night, where my body will fall asleep, thus returning to its normal sleep schedule.
Heres to hoping.
