I subscribe to several joke-of-the-day lists, and this one had me rolling on the floor this morning:
Why, they're marooned, of course....
I started off the night by cutting my nose while I was shaving. This takes a lot of talent, skill and coordination. I was wanting the razor to go underneath my nose and I missed. I'm going to try to not make a habit of this, 'cause it's painful and embarrassing. Well, nobody actually asked me how I cut my nose, or I would have had to tell them and I really would have been embarrassed.
Actually, I've never talked to anyone else who has ever cut their nose while shaving. Maybe I'm unique in yet another way, heh.
It was just a little cut, hardly bled at all.
I got to work on time, and the place was dead. And the neat thing was, it remained dead. I only did four patients all night, not counting the ICU portables, and there were three of them.
So... I smoked way too much, and I got all of my required inservices done and I got my CPR card renewed. Now all that I have to do is get my PPD (Tuberculosis test) done and I'll be ready for my evaluation.
Tyler hasn't been driving lately, because his tag has expired and he's waiting on his insurance card to be mailed to him. He is having his first major meeting with the chem dependency people this morning, and I had Karen bring him down... I had to meet with the business office people to arrange payments for the treatment, and I wouldn't have had time to get him and bring him back.
I met him and Karen, and then Karen left for work and Tyler and I were sent to the admissions office. I'd planned on coming home and staying up until Tyler called, but he came up with the idea of driving me home and going back... I like that idea a lot. I still didn't get enough sleep yesterday... like I ever do...
He does seem to be getting progressively more enthusiastic, and I'm getting really hopeful about this. We've talked a little bit about the changes that this will bring about, but I still need to spend a lot more time talking to him about it.
And talking with Tyler now is enjoyable, where just a week or so ago it wasn't...
I'm really looking forward to getting to know my son a lot better. And I have a really good feeling about that.
And now I'm really tired... not from working, 'cause I didn't do much of that... but from doing all of that damned inservice crap. Usually I just read the questions and answer them, but every few years I do the whole thing... watch the videos. Most of the videos are old and poorly produced and painful to sit through. Fortunately, they're relatively short, which makes them just barely tolerable.
So... I'm going to bed. Going on past history (is there some other kind?) I will have a rough night tonight. I guess that I meant recent history, didn't I?
Yeah, it's definitely bedtime...

What happens to the sailors?
