Then I got my head bitten off by one of the more seasoned nurses because I am an idiot and ordered Bacitracin from the pharmacy because I thought she didn't. I learned yesterday that Bacitracin is nothing more than neosporin. She was being far more dramatic about it, like she was incensed because she thought I was questioning her handling of the order Sure, I am an idiot for not knowing I could have just used our own supplies, but was it necessary to berate me over antibiotic ointment? I'll pay the cost of whatever the pharmacy charges, it isn't like I overdosed someone on insulin, and this isn't like it was a full out regimen of antibiotics for someone with a UTI. Just laugh at me as you point out my mistake and drop it.
It really got to me, however, and I was nearly in tears. I was only at work for her to carry out her berating because I had to attend a class on challenging behaviors. Quite fitting, right? I know I'm new at this, and stupid, and will make mistakes....but if you talk to me like a respectful adult, I have no problem with being corrected. She however was talking to me like I was a child. I hope to never be like this when I am a more seasoned nurse. I will not be not one of those nurses who eat their young. And I hope to approach the situation with a more kind hearted humor when I see a young nurse not realize Bacitracin is simply Neosporin, of course, there is the possibility I was the only one stupid enough to not realize this.
Of course, then today, I wake up for work at the dental office, and I'm alternating between freezing, and sweating and just not feeling well. Luckily, my boss was ok with me taking the day off, so I slept until 9ish and have been trying to relax a little before my 3 shifts in a row begin tomorrow. Luckily we are still able to see my mom-in-law for Mother's day even though I have to work. And then Mike is having his graduation ceremony on Tuesday. I'm really happy for him. He finished up in December, but his school only does commencement in the Spring. I am really proud of him for sticking through it. He took one class at a time, and would go to class right after work and not get home until after 10 at night. He did this for four and a half years somehow. :) Luckily, both of his parents will be able to make it, and we're gonna celebrate at the Buffalo afterwards.
There was good news for me this week. I gave up and decided to finally buy some new jeans. I knew my jeans were getting more loose, but I didn't think they were loose enough to go down a size. I opted to start with a pair of skinny jeans, because they are the trend right now, in one size smaller. To my surprise, they fit and didn't look terrible on me. However, I couldn't get over how claustrophobic my calves felt, and I thought I looked like Cathy. Yes, the cartoon character.
Skinny jeans aren't for me right now. They didn't have a size smaller in my go-to jeans, so I had grabbed one two sizes smaller. After I tried on the skinny jeans, I was convinced this other pair wouldn't fit. But I tried it anyway, and hot diggity, they fit! I hadn't fit into this size jeans in 7 years. I was ecstatic. I also found my favorite cardigan on clearance in a few different colors, and I was able to fit into the XL size. I had bought one earlier this year in a XXL, and it was kind of swallowing me now. So I was happy to find them for only $10, and get some that fit me now. I got a few tops and wife beaters in XL, too, and I was one happy girl.
I am a bit in disbelief, I must say. The XL clothes are more snug, but I am ok with that because that means I'll get more time out of them. I am hoping to get some more use of my dresses this summer to hopefully avoid having to buy a ton of clothes as I get smaller. As long as they fit me around my girls ok, then I am good to go. Of course, that is a whole other issues. My girls will begin to shrink on me, too. Goodbye DDs, and hello C cups. Sigh.
I hope that I can get out of my little blue slump I have found myself in today. Definitely gonna have to skip weigh in tomorrow, which means I must kick ass this week to make up for it at the next weigh-in. I think the fact that we don't have much sunshine today is affecting things, too. I hate when I feel like this, I just feel like a slug. A lazy, hive-ridden, stupid slug.
