3:57 am

So... it's 3:57 am and here i sit at work - why else would i be alert and awake at this time in the morning but for that fact?  And (dare i say it), it has been a very quiet night.  Maybe the call bell system isn't working or maybe the patients can't reach their bells or maybe, just maybe, the anticipated full, full moon of this weekend is having an opposite effect tonight but so far, so good.  I'm probably going to get very sleepy shortly, and that's okay - it's almost time to start waking people up to do some bloodwork and vital signs, cruel nurses that we are! 
All night long the wind has been whipping around the hospital building, rattling the windows and making the ceiling tiles in certain parts of the hallways rattle and move, kinda eerie and kinda not so reassuringly telling us that despite the fact that this is a new building, there are still lots of quirks built in. 
And tonight is my last night for a few days - today i get to sleep in and maybe do my dishes which have been piling up again in great unwashed stacks (i need to find out if the dish-elves have gone on strike or moved to Greenland because they're certainly not doing their jobs), and maybe i should clean the bathroom and vacuum and such... all nice pre-weekend chores.  Aaah, and maybe get a bit more studying in there - April 9 is creeping up quicker than i would like to think and then i'll be panicking to be sure! 
What else?  My brain isn't functioning at super high capacity at present so there might not be more than this - sorry it's boring, but i'm kinda lonely and would love to have a good conversation but my computer isn't super chatty and that's no fun! 
Signing off for now...
