Tuesday Stories

I started on the Sherlock Holmes British series last night. I got hooked on it last year when one of the guys I met off that dating website introduced me to it. That same guy told me the new season started again and I'm so excited to watch it. Unfortunately, I seem to have an attention span of Dory from Nemo because I can't watch it all in one sitting. Each episode is 90mins long. That's like a Disney Movie!! So I watch them in increments of 30 mins. I started the episode last night, got through about 1/3 of it and I'm excited about continuing the episode tonight! Little things in life make me happy when I'm living in the middle of nowhere. LoL.

My technician took the day off today. She's at a doctor's appointment. I had to man the whole clinic myself. I thought it was going to be WAY worse, but it actually wasn't too bad. I was only behind ONCE during the whole day and it was only like 5 mins. So not too bad for doing the whole exam and running all the ancillary testing on my own too. I think I'm learning the art of cutting people off when they talk and only extracting important information. At some point, I realized I stopped caring about what people have to say. I guess I have to if I want to be on time. I can't listen to everyone recite their life story to me. I would be here ALL day and not even be done with one person. The positive spin on this would be "I'm becoming more pragmatic and efficient". The negative spin on this is "I'm becoming robotic and unsympathetic". I still slow down to talk to people when they seem really nice and I have time. So maybe I haven't lost all emotions/feelings.

I saw a patient that had MRSA today. I was pretty intimidated but I think I hid it well. I thoroughly cleaned ALL the equipment, everything in the exam room and my hands after his exam. There's no joking around with MRSA.

I got the yelp elite email today welcoming me into yelp elite 2014! That was exciting. My BF suggested I look for yelp elite events where he lives. I think that's a good idea but I bet it would be hard to coordinate. It'll have to be on the exact weekend that I'm there and opportune time/place. Eh, it'll probably never line up this way. I can dream though.

Remember how I told you this past weekend I babysat "little mouse"? Well, we took her to Costco and she said she really wanted to eat ice cream. I was under the impression we had some at home and told her I'd give her some when we got home. I completely forgot but when we got home, she asked me for ice cream. I looked in the freezer and realized we didn't have any. We had popsicles but she wasn't interested in that. I don't know why but my mom has gotten in this habit of freezing bananas, so I found a BIG bag of frozen bananas. I decided to take a risk. I cut one up into small bit size pieces and told her to try it. She knew it was a banana and she asked me for ice cream. So I told her, it tastes just like ice cream. And she asked me "so when you freeze bananas it turns into ice cream?" and I said "yes" so she tried it and she really liked it! She ate the whole banana on her own! I can't believe that worked! I'm totally going to tell my kids that frozen bananas are ice cream now because kids can't seem to tell the difference. That way, my kids can still eat healthy and think they are eating unhealthy sweets. When I told my BF about this, he thought it was a terrible idea. "Our kids are going to go to school and tell everyone that when you put a banana in the freezer, it turns in ice cream and all the other kids are going to think their CRAZY!!" Yeah...didn't realize there's that social aspect to life where they are going to interact with other kids and probably be taunted about being crazy. I'm still going to try it though, don't tell my BF :)

So last night my cousins and I decided to start a private conversation on a very public FB comment wall. These are cousins on different sides of the family. One's on my dad's and one's on my mom's side of the family. You would think they wouldn't be close, but ending up, they always hang out with each other and x me out of the picture. I guess they have a lot in common. Eh, whatever. So I commented on mom cousin's wall since she posted she had a "family day", I just mentioned "I'm sad I wasn't there for family day". Then one thing led to another and I somehow mentioned that we should try to gather together and meet dad cousin's BF. Yeah, I did mention she has a BF now?? Crazy right! Anyways, within mins, my dad cousin responded say "Are you talking about me?". I know, what a stalker right? Two cousins...trying to have a personal conversation on public FB about you...geez, why do you have to but in? Haha. JK. I actually found it really funny and amusing she was reading our comments about her. So all three of us started leaving comments for each other and it was like a chat room but on a FB wall where everyone else can read what we are chatting about. So we are going to meet up most likely MLK Jr. Weekend and meet her boyfriend. She requested I bring mine and I said yes. She probably thinks I'm bluffing but little does she know he's really back that weekend. MUhahahah! I'm really excited about meeting her BF. I want to know what type of guy he is and everything about him! I'm super nosy like that! I'm probably going to ask him a MILLION questions, the whole meeting will consist of me grilling him the whole time. I can see it now. Hhahahaha.

My BF told me yesterday that his co-worker got him some gourmet popcorn that he's saving for me when I visit him. And they also got him two fancy champagne glasses. Guess what they are for? It's for when he pops the question and you celebrate afterwards!!! And hopefully he'll be popping the question to me and I'll be using those glasses. LoL. They are really nice glasses. I told my BF that I think it would have been more practical if they got him an engagement ring in my size instead. Well...more practice for ME anyway. Haha. So I guess his coworkers like me and they are rooting for me :) Yay!

Just to keep you dated, I still have Babies on my mind, still baby crazy.

I'm really glad we got to catch up yesterday. So how did the haircut go?
