Good Morning! Again it has been a super long time since the blogging happened. I tend to think 'well what can I blog about anyway?' but really if you have talked to me in real life, I can chatter on about pretty much anything on earth. So let me just start with the thought that today is going to be a good day. I went to bed way late last night, like a dummy, and tossed and turned the whole night because I thought I would oversleep. Well I laid in bed until almost 6, because I now take the late bus (comes at about 6:37a) and am ok with clocking in between 6:58-7:02a so far I have not gotten in trouble. Anywho, two weeks ago I over heard a patient talking about a book that she wrote, to another patient. So I googled it and it looked really good. It was about her journey with cancer, when she found out, through treatment, and her gratitude for life and God. Of course, I ordered it. It came in the mail a couple weeks ago. It was the day before I went to the ER when I had strep throat. When I was packing my purse for the ER, I packed her book, a word find, and figured my phone could keep me distracted the rest of the time. I read 90% of the book between the waiting room and then while waiting on the bed for the Dr to come by. It was only about the course of two hours but I flew through. I like books that make me feel accomplished, like that.
Today the patient came in, and I was practicing for about a week on how I would just nonchalantly mention that I eavesdropped in her convo, googled, and bought the book she told someone else that she wrote. I just flat out told her I over heard and then bought it and I showed it to her. She was flattered and thanked me. About 5 minutes later she came over and offered to sign it. She wrote me a little note on the first page <3 I know I am a big dork but it is just really cool that such a strong woman was able to write down her thoughts through such a difficult time and have them published. She wrote the book a year ago and since then the cancer has come back and she is back in treatment. She always has a smile on her face even days when she can not walk in herself. It is people like her that make me grateful for every second, and make me strive to find that strength and serenity in my daily life.
I guess today I did have something to write about. And it is only 8:15am.
I might update again to bore you all with my life details; school, dating, etc..
