0451 am

It's late or early-however you want to look at it. I'm working a night shift and am in between assessments and am board. Tonight I am what we call the Floor Whore because I'm out taking care of needy nurses and or patients instead of in the Intensive Care Units. Being that's it's late/early in the morning, I feel the need to say that I am a respiratory therapist-not a doctor, nurse or a rad tech...sometimes people forget that. Earlier tonight I had someone call me to get an after hour xray-that's like asking jiffylube to do auto body work on your car. I know how it is to be new but still expect some level of understanding of who does what. Anyway, i'll climb off my soap box.
Anyway, so I'm taking the idea of working hard and playing hard to a new level. I'm working nights for the next five or so weeks and then on my days off I'm getting out of dodge. I'm heading up to Calgary on friday to see my new niece (expect pictures) and family with my mom then I'll come home, work for four days and fly out to Sacramento to see my brother Clarke for a five days. Following my return, I work four days and fly Ecuador for 10 days to do some service and volunteer my skills, THEN...i'll be in town for about a week and a half and go on my Mexican Cruise with my friends. I think when it's all done, i'll be so happy to stay in one place for a bit...and broke;).
A couple of notes of interest that I haven't wrote about. Back in September I joined my work indoor co-ed soccer team. If you've known me since high school or before, you know that I never played soccer. I got hit in the face when forced to play in elementry school and from that point on, made the decision that soccer wasn't my thing. Well, at 24 years old I changed my mind and really really have fun with it. I totally suck at handling the ball, so I try to play as little offense as possible. But defense, even in basketball and waterpolo, has always been where I contrubuted. I'm not afraid to get rough and get into peoples way. I find satisfaction in stripping the ball and make that my goal everytime soemone brings the ball down. Sometimes I get burned and have to floor it to get back in position...but other times-oh ya! My teammates ranges from 19-51 in age-we just go out to have fun but are also pretty competative. I mostly just listen to what they yell at me to do:). We play neer my brother Taylor's home on Wednesday nights, so I usually try and hang out with them before my game. Secondly, if any of you know me currently, you should know how much I enjoy turbo kickboxing. Moving from Provo to Sandy left me at a disadvantage because they don't have turbo at the Golds gyms in Sandy. Thus, I have tried to go down south once a week to get my fix. Last weekend I certified to be an instructor to try and illiminate the drive and bring something I'm quite passionate about up north. So ya, once I'm back from my trips I hope to get hired and start up a class.
Lastly, if any of this doesn't make sence, has grammerical errors or is otherwise useless-please be aware that it's now 5:41 am.
I tried spell check and didn't have one mistake-that's never happened before...so i'm kind of worried.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. Marilyn Monroe
