Today is my last day. We’ll see if I get through the day without crying. Our medical director said “after today, you’re dead to me” and then gave me an awkward hug and said he loved me. I will miss him a lot. 😭

Today was an emotional day. I worked my last shift with my fave coworker that I have worked with the entire 4 years and she told me that she is pregnant. I also spent about an hour with my fave patient who I worry about quite a lot and really don’t know if I’ll see them again. 🥹 2 shifts left…

After a 3 day stay last week, dad is back at the hospital. I just love getting that call at midnight and sitting in a hospital at 2am. Really bad time for me to call off tomorrow, but I didn’t really see another option.

My entire body hurts this week, especially my feet, hands and hips. It feels like inflammation. Rheum ruled out the usual stuff and this only happens to me occasionally. Other than Tylenol/NSAIDS, anyone have any suggestions?

I am taking a small pay cut when I transition to my new job and the way I feel about it is: it should be a much bigger pay cut than it is because I DEFINITELY do not get paid enough for the shit I deal with in my current gig. I will happily take a pay cut to not deal w/ this ridiculousness anymore.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

I have a lot of fun stuff coming up in Feb/March plus new job starting in 2 weeks. I am grateful for some good things to look forward to given how terrible everything is.

A week ago I was stressing about having to make the decision about whether or not I wanted to leave my current job. Now that I’ve accepted the new job, I can’t wait to get the hell out of there. Nine days left!

This morning The Cure was playing in my doctor’s office, and now Pink Floyd followed by Whitney Houston. What in the gen x fever dream. This is “oldies” now right????

Our garage does not have a door from the inside of the house so we keep the opener in a little tray on a buffet in the living room. I just had to move it to a drawer because the kitten figured out how to push the button and kept opening the garage door. 😆

So I’m transitioning from a pediatric psych ED to an outpatient psych clinic just down the hall. Things I’m excited about: - I can wear my nose hoop again! - I will have a cubicle in a quiet/dimly lit office to use when I am not with patients. - No more working holidays!

I got the job! 🥳 no more working holidays, no more patients trying to beat me up, no more 💩 ! Yay!

Kiddo (18) wanted a new desk which he deserves since his current one was free and kinda janky when we got it like 8 years ago and he asks for nothing. So we went to ikea and got him a desk and a new rug and the project has snowballed and I am 🫠but it’s all worth the (rare!) quality time with him. 🥰

My job is doing a good job of making me feel ready to leave it this week. It is interesting to experience the mental shift I’m making as I talk myself into this transition.

I really miss the days where social media wasn’t filled with political news. Take me back to the old IG where it was just people posting their cute pics! I would like a politics-free refuge online somewhere. I keep gravitating to Reddit because it feels like the closest I can get now.

My CPAP setup appointment was actually like a little class with me and 2 old dudes so that felt pretty great.

Well I had almost convinced myself I didn’t want this new job but I ran into the psychiatrist for the clinic where I’m interviewing today and she was like “PATTI! I heard a rumor! Is it true? I’m so excited!” She’s so great to work with I’d probably be an idiot not to take it.

Grateful for the distraction of work today.

Kid18 has two friends over and I just realized my bra was hanging over the couch right where they were standing and talking to me (I took it off while watching tv before they got here). I don’t know if they saw it, but I am embarrassed regardless. 🙈

From my coworker (I was off today). I was like wow I thought I’d seen everything…😂😂 (it was supposed to be nurses lol)

I got my ears triple pierced over the weekend and it’s such a silly little thing that very few will notice but it is really making me happy and I am grateful for little happinesses.

Curious: Do people ever do a sleep study and NOT get diagnosed with sleep apnea? I feel like everyone I’ve known who has done a sleep study has been diagnosed, now including myself. I wonder this about ADHD too.
