Hello all. Brittany here from the ungodly hours of night shift at work! Yes, yes..I am the one who has been complaining about my early morning hours & praying that night shift will work out for me again some day soon..but, woo! It's been quite a while. & I am quite sleepy. Currently its 1am, all patients are sleeping, lights are dimmed, its quiet & I am on my third cup of coffee, still fighting the burning sensation on my eyelids. At 4am, I get to start vital signs..but from now to then? Nata. This shift is definitely easier in a sense of theres not as much heavy work..but its much harder to stay up & at 'em! I also feel a headache coming on. Wonderful! Six hours to go..
With that said, I'm trying to find something to keep busy. Keep my mind going so I'm not totally fried with exhaustion when I actually need to use my brain in a couple of hours. So..I have this idea to challenge myself to a list of 100 things, all about me. I saw it on another blog, and have attempted it in the past..and I've decided to try again. Who wouldn't want to know 100 useless facts about me anyways? ;)
1. I have lived in Maryland my whole life, and have never been off the east coast.

3. Getting old is one of the most depressing things to me. I hope that when I actually get old I'll feel better about it

*I'm back! I ended up being able to stay pretty busy after I logged off last night. I made it home without falling asleep at the wheel, got some Mcdonalds breakfast, came home with all intentions of staying up so that I could get back on a day shift schedule, watched 15 minutes of teen mom...and thats all I remember. I vegally remember Jake bringing Abby out in to the living room (where I fell asleep, I was on the couch) around 9:30..I remember trying to pick her up & my arms felt like jello. My legs felt weak too & I just literally felt like I was going to collapse if I didn't lay back down any second. So..I shut myself in the bedroom, hung blankets over the windows..and crashed. For some reason it wasn't a very good sleep & I couldn't stay in bed any later than 12pm. So, I'm hoping I'll be able to make it to bed on time tonight, since I have to be back at work at 7am again tomorrow! Oh, the joys over overtime!
Without further ado, here is the rest of my list I promised I'd finish:
90. I am extremely ticklish, and will probably have a laughing attack if you even attempt to tickle me.
91. Pedicures are enough to make my whole day better.
92. I've been wanting to put a purple or pink streak in my hair for about a year. Underneath & hidden..but I think it will make me look like a trashy mom! lol
93. I said earlier that my drinks of choice are bud light & white russians. but I forgot about Sangeria. Good lord, do not put that in front of me. for the sake of us all.
94. I HATE druggies. Get a life, losers.
95. I'm not the best housekeeper. I despise doing laundry & dishes.
96. I wear pink sugar perfume all the time. I'd say its my signature smell
97. I love Victoria's Secret lotions & body spray.
98. In my family..a bubble bath can cure anything. If your sick, angry, sad, hurting, have a headache, crying, bored..my aunt, mom, grandmother, cousins, & myself will tell you "aww, go take a nice warm chub" yes, we call a bath a chub. no idea where it came from. and yes..we are weird :)
