Not much, really...

Got home earlier than expected last night; I finished up my patient-instructing session with the Last Resident (I really hope this is our last Last Resident for this year; they keep popping out of the woodwork and messing up our schedule and billing), but we only had one nursing student, so I got to head home instead of running a separate session. Unfortunately, my mood turned thoroughly foul on the way home; a lovely combo of self-loathing, general disgust, and hatred for the world at large, exacerbated by a rude bus driver and coming home to a pile of pet-related destruction. Yesterday and today I've been having a lot of the "about to burst into tears for no reason" feeling. Blarg. I'm not fit for polite company at the moment; I'm feel nasty, mean, and spiteful. I definitely need to come up with some concrete things to accomplish this weekend, or I'm likely to just wallow in this shit. Last night I did some chores, then watched Zathura (I generally find kids' movies good for mood improvement) and sent myself to bed early. Fell asleep toward the end of the movie, but as of 3/4 of the way through it, I was thoroughly unimpressed.

Today I need to get started on the clinic escort schedule for November.

Things I could do this weekend to be productive (or at least feel that way):( Read more... )

On the positive side, the cafeteria has ham and cheddar omelettes today. This makes me happy. Or at least warm and full, which is a good step in that direction.

Mood much improved...

My mood gradually improved over the course of the day, and my patient-instructing session with the nurse prac student went very well; she was personable and fun to work with, and had some gyn familiarity from working in gyn as nurse, so it went as smoothly as it possibly can for someone who's never done the exam before. I'm home, I don't have to go anywhere, and I've already taken care of what chores I plan to do tonight (just basic pet-care and house-sweeping), so now I can relax, vegetate, and revel in the idea that I don't have to be up any earlier than I please in the morning, and that how much I interact with the wet drizzly nastiness outside is entirely up to me. Hoorah.

Also, I've already gotten one response about possible coverage at the clinic on the 25th, so it's looking hopeful that we'll be able to find folks who are available to cover for me and the other person currently scheduled (for whom it's also a really non-ideal weekend).

Now I'm going to call Liv and see if I can arrange to hang out with her sometime this weekend when I'm actually awake.
