http://www.brainshambles.com the hot mess that is my cerebral cortex Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:40:24 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It took an hour and fifteen minutes for me to drive to my clinical site this morning. Luckily--it looks like it's going to be a lot nicer than the last hospital I was at. Honestly though---every morning I wake up, think about nursing and want to crawl in a hole ... http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/school-hurts-my-face/ I just updated my "about" section because I definitely just realized that I'm no longer 21 years old. Nor am I still a sophomore nursing student. I purchased some more art today for our naked apartment walls along with a full length mirror. I was getting sick of standing on ... http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/updated/ I bought (well...I should say, Kyle bought) a giant Marilyn Monroe photograph for the dining area today. Our walls are still really quite naked and I couldn't resist the $19.99 price tag. I love me some Marilyn. I also got another framed/matted photo (also black and white) of the Moulin ... http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/two-blogs-in-a-day-blah/ This morning something really strange and unsettling occurred. Usually the routine goes as follows: Kyle gets up for work, I let dog out, I go back to bed, Kyle feeds cats...then leaves. Right after I crawled back into bed this morning, my cat Escobar started acting like a total maniac and ... http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/mehhh/ Rupert just puked all over my brand new yellow sweatpants. *pulls out hair* http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/um/ Rupert and I have been bored. Can you tell? Kyle was doing his "angry eyes" there... Lastly,..we had a little visitor outside of our apartment window this afternoon. It was pretty cute, she spent like 10 minutes ransacking the neighbors bird feeder. http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/picture-time-3/ I cannot fathom the idea that school begins again in two weeks. Seriously. Kill me. I keep thinking that if I weren't in nursing, and "school" just meant sitting in a classroom, how much more I'd enjoy my life. But no. "School" means being awkward and scary and treating patients ... http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/squish/ Hope I don't offend anyone here. The landscapers that are SUPPOSED to be tending to the apartment complex are outside of my window and I have been watching them taunt children for over 30 minutes. Seriously. We are right up against a cemetery, and I guess there are kids running around ... http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/forgive-me-in-advance/ 1. People that lie 2. People that cheat on their significant others (over and over again) 3. People that manipulate others for personal gain 4. Dog poop on my carpet 5. Being poor 6. Being bored AND poor 7. Vacuuming 8. Cleaning the cat litter 9. The price of Victoria's Secret "PINK" collection 10. Insomnia http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/things-that-annoy-me-2/ Um, ok. Back on the wagon I go. Cookie dough+ice cream EVERY SINGLE night equals me gaining 2.5 pounds. I learned my lesson, Weight Watchers. I learned my lesson. I will be your faithful companion once more! http://www.brainshambles.com/2008/08/88/
