On My Way To The UK!

Ok, it's 4:13pm on Monday. I'm showered, packed and ready to go. We're leaving for the airport in 17 minutes and I'm finally getting excited!

Work the last two days was ridiculous. On Saturday I only had 4 patients, which should have been an eeeeaaassssyyy day compared to what I normally have, but for some reason I didn't have a chance to sit down for more than one second the entire shift... and I barely got my paperwork done on time. Then yesterday they switched me to the other side of the unit, so not only did I have to take on all new patients that I didn't know, but I also had to have an assignment of 7. Ugh. It was a really hard day, and I didn't finish my paperwork until after my shift was complete... so I didn't leave till almost 8:30pm.

And actually, kind of to demonstrate just how crazed I've been these last couple of weeks with running around, illness and emergencies, trips to here-there-and-everywhere, and terrible patient assignments at work, I need to let you Noodle fans know that I didn't even remember I was leaving the country today. One of my coworkers asked me yesterday morning if I was getting excited for Monday. I stared at her blankly for a couple of moments, not responding. She continued with, "You know, for when you go to London?" I was completely dumbstruck-- I hadn't even had a clue. Sigh.

Hopefully my life will start to settle down a bit once I return to New York-- I think I could use a little touch of calm for awhile. Anyhow, that's it. It's now 4:23pm and I've got just 7 more minutes in which to pee, drink some water, put on my coat and leave. So... I'm off!
