Spring...where are you?

I know it's only January, but I am so sick of winter. I feel tired all the time, and I hate being cold. I felt sick yesterday, and slept all day...seriously, from like noon until it was actually bedtime, I slept, then slept somemore. I'm going to start excersising, so I'm thinking that will help with the no-energy problem, not to mention the growing gut problem.

Work is going okay. I'm getting ready to really start school. I'm still technically in orientation, so basically I just follow around another therapist and watch them give breathing treatments. I really like when we get called to a code in the E.R. cause its exciting. I feel like I'm actually on the show E.R. I know, I'm retarded. Today, I was allowed to stay in a room while the doctor was putting a chest tube in a guy. The doctor was really nice, and after finding out I was a student, he was explaining why he was putting in the chest tube....He numbed up the guys side by sticking a big needle in it about 5 times, and then he pulled out the razor to make an incision, and I had to leave the room. I got all hot and sweaty and almost passed out! I still didn't feel good from yesterday, so I think that had a little to do with it. I was a little embarrassed, but I think I would have been more embarrased if they had to pick me up off the floor. Connie, a lady I work with, came back to the office laughing....I told her I was sorry, and she said that after I left, the doctor asked what happened to her student. When she told him I didn't feel well, he said "Is she pregnant?" I hope I'll get another chance sometime to watch that....Connie said after I left, the doctor had stuck his finger in the hole he made in the guy's side, so I'm sure I would have hit the floor. I will never actually have to perform this on anyone (thank god), but it's a good learning experience to know how the chest and lungs work......I've never actually passed out in my life that I can remember, but today I came pretty darn close.

So that's about it. Jason and I are in the middle of moving to his parents...well, we really are at a standstill, cause our house is a wreck, and I have no energy to do anything at night. Hopefully we'll get some stuff done this week. I don't think I will be able to really start concentrating on school until we get that done. We both just want to be done with it, but neither of us are really "go-getters" when it comes to cleaning and packing our house. Especially in the cold and snow.....Well, I'm not anyway.

That's about all I've got....until next time...
