take life less seriously

wearing a hat with flowers on it.
This is what I told the charge nurse yesterday when she was aggravated b the housekeeper who was actually not doing her job.

about 20 minutes later, I became very aggravated when I realized the nurse who took report form me last night had messed up the depart forms etc on a patient and we were going to have to fix it. L. looked at me and said, well, think of the goat, wearing a hat.
It worked, I busted out laughing. The depart forms will get repaired. and Bless my heart I will not be working at the chart correction in the future very much!
so, when life gets you down, think of a goat wearing a hat with flowers.

I was feeling pretty good, but my mom just emailed me and told me that there was a big envelope from the IRS. I hope indeed that I am not to be audited, because I don’t have any records of anything. If this is the case, in the end I am sort of screwed, and will jsut have to pay them whatever they request.
Now, I have to wait for the envelope to arrive, It just can’t be good. Nothing from the IRS can be good.

help today.

I went shopping for a package for someone who shall remain nameless…
and the sales lady was extraordinaily helpful in helping me find just the right thing…
:)

this morning I spent some time looking at the few clouds that were here. I decided they looked like ducks, or ships, or tigers.

This evening I spent time enjoying the dusk, I love twilight.
Hard to take anything very seriously when the air smells so good, and the breeze is blowing.

I think I’m getting there. Puppy jumping on head all night really helped of course. But in general…I find myself giggling all the time. Not inappropriately, but.

I spent about an hour talking to the retriever people today with my new puppy. At the end, thay said, well, you are so laid back, I imagine he will be too. I was looking around to see who else they were actually talking to. I do feel relaxed, but in between new job and sucking it up and dealing, I feel things remain far too serious…
I have a feeling this puppy though can not help but inject some levity into my current situation…
:)

I am a fairly low key person (ok so read: high energy, but wants people to think she is relaxed type person…)

With this injury to my leg I have started to get a mite bit anxious. I need to step back and realize:
1. It is actually a fairly bad strain.
2. It isn’t going to get better in one week.
3. That there are plenty of other interesting ways ot exersise for a while…
and cheer on up. Why am I acting as if this is a crisis?
I must find a way to laugh at my leg, and my predicamint.

Hard to take oneself seriously when one falls…while reciting the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme….

My boss came in to work today and when I left I noticed she was looking over the chart of the only patient we had in the department. He was my patient for the most part, so now, I am actually wondering why she was looking over the chart…a bit of paranoia has snuck in for sure…
I have had some good moments lately, but I do seem to just be a serious minded person…

Everythin gseems so so serious right now.
As soon as things get settled, and I’m not in the frozen wasteland anymore, I’m going to get a dog, as it is hard to take yourself seriously with a dog..you know??
