So I just had this long post typed and then I lost it when I was trying to get access to my photos! So frustrating!
I worked Mon, Tues, and Weds of this week and was going to try to post a little something each day but working 12 hour nights can be brutal sometimes and really doesn't leave me time for anything other than work, sleep, and get ready to do it all again. So much for blogging on the days that I work.
I love what I do and I really care for my patients and their babies. I get to meet some really neat people and it's very rewarding to get to be a part of bringing in a new life - even though my part is very small. I'm very fortunate to do what I do. I need to remember that. And keep reminding myself of that. I tend to let myself get down based on the actions of others. Which is really not fair to myself, because I can't and don't want to have control over others. I only have control over myself and how I choose to react to certain situations. The politics of our unit sometimes gets the best of me. And other people are not always kind. I'm working on keeping myself tough and not letting dumb things get the better of me. Thank goodness I have 7 days off now!!
And I was so in need of a run when I woke up!! I haven't looked to see actually when I was at the trail last, but it feels like a long long time. And after working 3 nights, I needed some stress release and to get my heart rate going. And it was what I needed! It was pretty warm and there were a lot of mosquitos, but I doused myself in bug spray and it felt good to sweat some of that tension out. And I had a nice endorphin rush when I was done. I don't know why I don't get that very much anymore. But maybe because I had a little break from running, I had that afterwards tonight.
I was starving later, and my husband was too, so we picked up Arby's. Not the healthiest choice but it was late and I didn't even want to make anything so that was that. :)
Here are some photos I took after my run:
