Tired...Tir...Ti...zzzzzzzz

Holy shit balls! Pardon my language. None of my healthcare friends were kidding about their facilitates/hospitals/whatever always being under staffed or them being overworked. I don't think I have been this tired in years, if ever. 

It all started on Sunday with a 10:45pm to 7:15am shift followed by a 2:45pm to 11:15pm shift than quickly followed by a 6:45am to 8pm shift and this type of schedule is what I have been doing for the last 2 months. There's a great personal accomplishment or a feel good feeling you get from helping someone who needs your help because they are unable to help themselves and after working this job for a short period of time I know I love it, well most of it. 

After cleaning up bodily fluids and poking and prodding people in their most intimate places I kept thinking to myself, Idaho's minimum wage is definitely not enough for this. It's rewarding but I need to quickly get past this CNA thing and on to my RN so I can actually start making a paycheck that covers all my bills! That's a whole other stress and issue...bills...I have too many. 

I don't know how I have the energy to even write this post. But I somehow have caught a ninth wind and can't calm my stupid effing brain! Soooo I think I will put on my favorite movie (Julie and Julia, love it!) and work on this awesome crochet scarf with the most adorable colors (I will post pictures when I am done) and try to get some R&R because tomorrow I very luckily only have to work 3 hours. Whew! 

Disclaimer: I am fully aware that everyone has hard crap to deal with in their lives, but like I said in my first post, this is a place for venting! So if you have some stresses and bugaboo's please post them below, maybe we can all gain comfort in each others miseries!
