"If we put up a packet of seeds everyone is going to think that they are just a packet of seeds..."

Thats was James thought too, but his seeds turned out to be magical one and they grew into a great big giant peach with funny oversized bug characters and he even turned into a cartoon! See, a packet of seeds are not always what they seem to be.

Today I was informed that our potted plant is dry and dying and some one (me) should water it. I guess I should start watering it. Funny thing is, I didnt realize it was there and that it was real. The other funny thing is that in a hospital where things are cured, the plant is dying.

I also decided today that I would like a bottle of fusid or a pill. Either would do, but I feel like the bottle would be the easier method. Anyway, I want to give it to Calvin because he really deserves it and it would be such good pay back. I think it would teach mister know it all I am greater than all and you are what I label you a life lesson.

Only yourself depends on you. No one elses life is yours to control. You have only one GO button to push.

Chanukah is coming. So Brenda and I sang Chanukah songs today while coloring, tracing, and cutting candles, dreidels, and cAd katans. Lori said we were not helping her concentrate, but we didnt really care =O the horror!

Tonight I learned that double burgers are the right way to fill you up. you dont even need french fries with that, but of course you eat them anyway, because they go with the burger and a tropit to wash it all down with. One of my favorite dinners aside from mashed potatoes and jelly.

After supper we went outside to play in the park. We played tag while running around the jungle gym and sliding down the slides. It was a release and completely normal if you think about it. Hardly anyone else understands, but im sure you know what I'm talking about. Right?

I didnt want to go to work today. Therefore I went to my ward for an hour last night to convince myself that I did want to go to work in the morning. It sort of worked. Its actually quite peaceful there at night and knowing that things were a little more organized was a big help in the morning, when aching and cold I went to work. The morning went by very smoothly. Breakfast was eaten and cleared in record time. Then things got boring, so we ate salad and waited for things to do. At least I did. Tzila ate toast and sat contentedly talking on the telephone for an hour. Well, at twelve I got my wish. It took a while in the coming, but there it was. All of a sudden I had to much to do, so I organized it in my brain and then started to get it done. Its such a nice feeling when you are in control of the situation. Finally work ended and I tasted the ice cream cake the Na'amah had made in honor of passing her test that officially makes her a nurse. I was about to put the fork in my mouth when Raizi showed up at the door. So I ate the cake and gave Raizi some too. We went home together. We havent done that in a long time. We even made it to the 16:20 420 bus. We havent done that in even longer! Now I am trying to make phone calls, but I think most of the are unfortunatly going to have to wait until the morning. Bonne Soir world...

I dont exactly recall the last time I posted, but my mind says that it was a long long while ago. I decided that part of the reason why I stopped posting is because I didnt like how the style of my posts had changed. In this new attempt to start blogging more often, I am going to try to write like the old way that I used to write instead of the way I feel like writing now. Its so much more fun the old way and a lot more interesting to read.

Before I start I would like to announce that you can not put staples through a fax machine. At least not into the old one that we have in the head nurses office. And, by the way, someone else should learn how to use that thing, because I'm tired of being the fax it person all the time. It made me late for "o (long o)- rye - ta" figure that one out!

This morning I woke up and I knew where I was and that I had to get up at some point and I didnt fall back asleep. It was just so warm underneath my blankets that I decided not to move until my room mates left, even if it made me late for work. So I stuck to the plan and it was one of the smarter things that I have done today. When I washed my face and the big purple spots didnt come off, I realized that a mosquito had found my face at some point during the night and it seemed that it was successful in its endevour to suck my blood. Well it didnt look to bad once I patted my face dry with my towel. Ten minutes later after getting my sneakers and before closing in the door, I decided to chance another look in the mirror and all I could think was... that goodness it wasnt my nose! It looks like I have half of a black eye, on the wrong side and on the other side of my face my cheek exploded. Not to mention that I am sitting here scratching my arms and wishing that I had some anti-itch cream.

I got to my מחלקה and wasnt prepared at all for the state I found it in. I have learned that before doing ANYTHING when I arrive in the morning, the most important thing to do is check the fridge and hope that there is שוקו inside. Most of the best days are days when I drink chocolate milk before starting to work. I dont dehydrate half as badly over the course of the day because I have some liquid in my body. I do not have a chocolate craving and wind up eating ewwy chocolate pudding to try and make up for it. I just feel happier. And it is just a positive thing to add to the list of "things that happened today" so thats saying something!
Sitting with my שוקו next to the computer and the name board I tried to figure out who was there and who wasnt. It is a tricky little operation, because hardly anybody pays attention to making sure that they are correct. Well I got it sorted out and later when the doctors were wondering where half the patients that werent there were, I was able to tell them where they had gone. They always appreciate that. Especially when it means that they have less blood to take. I guess last night was hectic.

It was a regular day besides for that and everyone trying to figure out what the heck happened to my face. And all in all I rather enjoyed even if I am falling asleep while sitting here. I was going to stop typing a long time ago and go back to my room to find a contact case, but I found one in my pocket and so we have gotten to this point. Only now the problem is that I remembered that I am supposed to sign out and I have already "worked" a half hour of overtime, so I'll be going now I think. Its time, dont you reckon? And maybe I'll post more tomorrow or later or whatever excuse I'm supposed to give. Right?

g'night mush

at least for me... I'm heading to bed...
