Today begins the first day of working 2 jobs for my hubby. He will be working 9am-2pm for a local farmer, and then from 2:30pm-12:30am (or later) at work. 15 hour days 5 days a week, plus Saturdays to follow suit here coming up.
I am going to miss my husband. And I can't help but think, "How the heck are we going to ttc with that schedule?" It is going to be tough. With our usual schedules it is tough. And this month I am determined to follow the sperm meets egg plan. Which means every other day, until +opk and we try that day, wait a day, and try again. The doctor wants us to continue every other day from cd 10-20. So we will add another couple days after the +opk.
Praying the sperm catch the egg this month! But if not we have 2 more months to ttc before we start preventing for awhile.
On another note, there has been drama at work. And I hate getting pulled into it. This girl I will name K is lazy, and is known to wait until last bedcheck to change people. So when last rounds came last week and she checked a few of our normal wetters, and she said they were dry red flags went up for my partner of the night, N. She gave K benefit of the doubt. Until a resident that K said she put on the bedpan said she hadn't been. Uh Oh. N was PISSED. So she double checked the other residents, and one was soaked. But the urine was warm, so I gave her benefit of the doubt on that one. Told N she probably was dry and K woke up her up turning her.
N couldn't take it, brought it to nurses attention. And walah instant cattiness between K and N. And me by default. So Sunday night, K is the extra helping N and I. Middle bedcheck comes around. She helped 1 while I finished our last resident (or what I thought was last resident). I saw K in with the bedpan resident, the one whom N had just checked a few minutes ago. I thought, "is she really going behind us?!?" Especially because she woke up residents we usually let sleep through the night. It was instant drama, so I told her that the next door resident was for sure checked. She should have asked if she was confused. And somehow K twisted my words to say that she was the only one done.
Add some yelling between the nurse, K, and N at the desk (at 3am when residents are sleeping mind you...) and you have the rest of the story. K said she was going to quit, but another nurse got her to stay. Ridiculous.
This made me realize I truly need to better my relationship with Christ. I need to be the light unto the world, displaying Christ's love. Not continuing the crabbiness and gossip. I am going back to the, "You can't control their actions" and "N, we've got it fixed so don't worry about it." When N starts to get pissed. Swearing has to go 100%. (It is getting better) And my Bible needs to have the dust wiped off from its cover. The time in my car is now going to be talk to God time, not my sister, or Mom, or friends. It is time to worship while driving, to pour out my heart. Not time to illegally text while driving (yes I know I am horrible) or day dream about random things.
Things are going to be changing. Quickly. Not just with my spiritual side, but also with our health. We are changing our diet starting Thursday. I am excited and hopeful. I plan on being less than 180 before the start of the new year. The struggle with getting under 200 is going to be over. I am ready to make the change, fear and stress will not hold me back. I can do this!
Later today I will post the photos from the dress trying on that made me want to lose some additional poundage. And point out the 2 dressed that entirely depend on whether or not a baby decides to grow healthy and strong in my uterus. Lol
O.M. Gosh. I HATE lazy ppl!! There are some everywhere, but when it comes to patient and resident care, health, and lives, it needs to be changed. If she is truely neglecting her patients throw the N word out!! (neglect) and the A word out too, (Abuse). Maybe THAT will change her tone. She sounds like she needs to quit in any event! Maybe she can find a better job else where that pays decent. I mean there are so many jobs around here KWIM?
ReplyDelete(BTW, I had once leaved multiple messages for my Dr.s office when I lived out of state and they never returned. Then I called the on call Dr and he was all like this is Dr so and so and I was sooo mad that no one ever called me back I was all like "Its just abusive and neglectful for your office to leave me in this much pain! Some one should have called me back! blah, blah, blah. Weeellll the next day, I got follow up calls from the nurse and apologies from both the docs and the nurse who never returned my call. That was the first and last time I've ever had to throw the A&N word around.)
I agree with you Jamie. She is one of those "I know EVERYTHING" girls. Deep down I think she is just broken, I don't know what her deal is though. I can't change her though, and I am hoping that this potential write up will change the way she treats residents and co-workers. Blah, she won't quit. She wouldn't be able to get unemployment and our facility pays the best around.
