look on the bright side

with this. On my way down to my weekend race, I somehow got a very very flat tire on the Interstate. I was a little exhausted as I was only 20 mins from the hotel. I used my phone to help locate a company that would put on my spare. The birght side is that the guy came in in about 15 minutes, put the spare on really really fast…and told me how to safely drive with a spare. (which was a real education).

I then got a new tire put on, and have not had an issue since. WHile it was not very fun, It surely could have been worse…

for the last 2 nights I have worked, I have had one patient, not the same one, but a man that would Scream all night long.
the first night it was an older man with dementia and sepsis so I could easily forgive him his screaming. the second night was a punk with back pain who had received more pain medicine than I have ever given in my career. He would not stop yelling.
These two people did not make me feel very positive, and now on my day off I am wiped out. BUT…on the bright side!!!! WHen I go back to work, I will not have either one of them!!!! (plus side of working emergency….

a thoroughly horrid day. BUT…. the Grinch is On TV! It’s very comforting. Oddly, since it will solve none of the miserable issues I have….but so comforting.

It’s raining and thundering and lightening is occurring. THis is a pretty typical occurrance in central Florida in June. Unfortunately I was so so looking forward to swimming today.
Well, the bright side is that I really am not supposed to be swimming that much per the Medicos, so tomorro at my appointment I can honestly say that I have not been in the pool for a long time. I hope he won’t ask why. It’s pretty hard for me to lie to that guy.

My “House Sitter” moved out suddenly, and only told me after she moved. She was upset that she had to pay a bill that she thought wasn’t hers, but she didn’t tell me, she just moved.
I am OVERJOYED. Just today I was wishing I could go back to my house for my “Spot Bot” and a few other things. I am currently only 2 hours away, so it isn’t a big trip at all. Now, when I have long weekends, I can spend them AT HOME.
Next up would be to just hire a house sitter/checker. Always better to keep things professional.

I did however, inform her I’d be happy to send her all the money for whatever Bill it was she thought was a problem. Partly because I am so delighted she isn’t in the house anymore. Frankly, she was constantly having problems with things and since she wans’t paying any rent it was hard for me to feel as committed as a landlord might.
Now I can go home and get my mail and socailize with people I like when I have 3 days in a row off…

this year…

Perhaps 2007 will be better….

perhaps.

Gave myself a serious talking too today.

I’m waaay too grumpy about my leg, it seems to have taken over my personality.
So on the bright side.
I have no need to get up too early, I’ve learnt all sorts of new exersises at the gym and outside of it.

I’ve met a ton of new people (including my handsome physician…)

It isn’t killing me, really.

There are actually other facets to my life/personality (really I swear to it!!!)
Feeling better all the time!

the negative thing in my current life. I have injured my leg. It is painful to run, someitmes to walk. It hurts. I changed my shoes, leg still will not cooperate. I amgetting cranky as I am not running.

There is a bright side to this. I’ve been doing Yoga and crunches and pushups and a lot of static type exersises, and I am starting to see some sronger ab muscles showing up. If and when I ever get backto running, I am sure I will be a stronger runner. Theres a silver lining here. I just have to conciously remind myself of it.

since I posted an entry about looking on the bright side. It does seem my enormous Karmic Debt may actually be paid off for the moment. Now, I just have to be sure not to have any more debt issues in the realm of Karma.
In general I feel pretty positive about life, and everything seems to havea bright side lately. but I think this is a good goal to have on-going.

I’m learning it is actually challenging to remain positive aorund overwhelming negativity.
I think actually I’d like to find a way to encourage my current co-workers to try this, since the negativity is spilling over on to the patients. Plus, I’m darned sick of it. But I find it is hard to encourage someone who wants to be miserable to be anything but miserable, but still I try…. :) CHeers all.
