Early morning musings

As i sit here in my nice desk chair, having been recently re-energized by a refreshing little pot of fruit after having indulged in far too many sugary substances over the course of the night, my mind is wandering and filling up with random thoughts here and there. Luckily I don't have too many holes in my head out of which to lose my deep thoughts which only come along on a rare basis and therefore are difficult to replace once missing. But here we are at the end of 2006 and peeking over the edge into 2007. In a mere 4 days it will be the New Year and i will be ringing it in the land south of our borders. Indeed, i will be attending and participating in my friend Nancy's wedding. By participating, i mean walking down the aisle in a fancy dress, keeping both of my feet on the ground and not managing to trip and embarass my poor friend who is marrying a nice boy from Colorado Springs on Saturday. I am excited to be going down there, to hopefully be supportive to her and to encourage her in this huge new part of her life. Congrats Nance! I wish you the Lord's blessing in this stage of your life. May you always walk with Him as your guide.
But now, as for my other deep thoughts, hmmm... they seem to have hidden round some cobwebby corner of my cranium and vanished from plain sight for now. Grrr... just when i thought i could wax eloquent at 5 am after an extremely busy night shift. Oh well, so much for impressing you all. I'll have to slink back into the ennui of mediocrity. I was recently told that i was a good writer. I hope for all of my dedicated blog readers that you do manage to derive some sort of entertainment from this little piece of cyberspace that i have staked a claim on.
This entry also goes out to my co-workers who have been dealing with so many frustrations and hardships in the last few weeks and months and despite it all, can still laugh and give awesomely good care to their patients. Short staffing, crazy mixed up patients, lack of supplies, lack of communication and many such things. But they develop strong relationships with the patients, win their trust in a very vulnerable time, listen to them, care for them, help their hurts, medicate their symptoms and provide such support that is so needed. There are times when i don't want to be a hematology nurse... but there are rewards too... just difficult to measure in quantifiable terms. Thanks girls for all i've learned in how to be a good nurse.
Happy New Year to all!!!
