I worked on the locked ward at the women's hospital today for the first time
I am in full time college for medical massage therapy and its my last two terms. So my outreach is high risk pregnancy unit. One ward is locked because the to-be mothers have MRSA or Hep C or HIV and are with drawing from drugs. Usually herion. I LOVED it. The women there are incredible. And being able to take some of their physical pain away as well as listen and slowly get them to sleep, when they haven't in a couple of days is pretty amazing. I love my new career. I'm so, so lucky. |

My Tuesday morning lady...
She makes no qualms about adoring me...and it is truly mutual... She went above and beyond and is paving the path for me to get a scholarship to finish nursing school... It turns out she and her daughter are on the scholarship board and can provide me with an excellent reference. I am beyond blissful.

I was torn between posting this in the "What made you smile today?" thread or here, but believe what I was told is more than smile worthy, it brings joy to my sometimes hardened heart. I was at the store talking with one of my distributors. He says "I have to tell you this, I think you'll enjoy it. I was talking to my eight year old and telling him we would be attending a wedding this weekend. He asked who's wedding and I told him his cousin Val's. 'Oh!' he says. 'Are they marrying a boy or a girl?'" Who knew the world would ever be like this 40+ years ago?! Yep, he was right, I loved this joyous little story. PS: My apologies to the grammar experts.

Finding a new to me truck topper that not only fits perfectly on my truck but the colors match very well. I've only been looking for the last year or so.

The person I shared dinner with, our laughter and the comfort in their presence. Feeling a total trust in them and knowing the value of such.

In my final four weeks of school. The week before I had the last practical midterm I'll ever have in anatomy. I suck at anatomy practicals because someone names a muscle, then you tell your "body" how to position themselves on the massage table, you then palpate the muscle belly, stating: origin, insertion, nerve, artery, and actions. We have to memorize 270 out of 320 pairs of muscles in the body.
We also have to demonstrate how to muscle test each one. For example if you want to muscle test the gluteus medius the body is laying on their back and I bring the leg into slight abduction, and flextion at about 5 degrees and get them to resist further abduction. Glute *minimus* however, the leg is abducted, flexed to 20 degrees, internally rotated and then I get them to resist abduction. The examiner tells you a muscle and you have two minutes to demonstrate this.p, while also talking about the palpation quality of the tissue, and the result of the muscle test. It's repeated five times for five different muscles, for a total of 10 minutes, then they give you a body landmark - like a nerve pathway, an artery pathway, a pulse location, a boney landmark like the radial tuberocity, and you have to find it and show how you know that's what it is and they put their fingers where yours are and double check. I panick and freak out on these regularly. Singly hecUse someone barking orders holding a clip board and scribbling down everything I do makes me highly nervous. I can tell stories at parties, but I can't do scrutiny. I used to freeze and stammer and sweat and shake. Now I blather like a fucking idiot, and sweat and say things backwards. But, this last one, I don't even remember it, I was in full panick mode, blathering incoherently, sweat running down my neck and back, and I left thinking "holy shit I failed. That was awful. I actually had no fucking clue what I was doing. I don't even remember what I said. Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck." And failing isn't really an option five weeks before grad. It means I wouldn't graduate. I got my test paper result back today. 94% Apparently, when blathering like complete knob and on autopilot is still know my stuff. It's actually in my skull. So, I phoned my dad and got to tell him I passed that midterm with 94% That brought me a fuckton of joy today. |

I had a bunch of fun today after I was so happy to get several glass art/wine bottle light projects completed and my pretty bright red shadow box with it's Christmas tree and "snow" scene finished.
Even more fun and jokes about "slurping nutts" ...(peanuts that is!!) as we raced up to the antique mall to display my finished products. Then went shopping for more light fixtures and SCORED a whole bunch of FREE unique bottles (different shaped wine, "rare" scotch, and vodka) after chatting with a wonderful lady who said she was just going to trash them. I was so excited to get a bunch of beautiful projects done and even more happy to spend it with the people that mean so much to me.

I made my best friend laugh so hard they nearly tipped their recliner backwards!!!
Admittedly, the laughter came shortly after I seriously set off fireworks in the living room because I was "playing with fire and messing with fate" with a screwdriver and live electrical wires. Even tho my heart stopped and had trouble beating correctly for a while, and I melted the screwdriver, all the laughter was worth it!!

It definitely gives you a buzz. Good for you! Too often, we put ourselves on the back burner to others and to our busy lives. It's nice to take time out to pamper oneself. I'm experiencing a bit of pampering myself. I am still in my pajamas, which rarely, if ever, happens. I'm either in workout clothes or work clothes on or before 8am every day so this is really nice and comfy. |
