A jambalaya of an entry

::hugs FL:: It's great reading about your early writing experiences. Thanks for taking the time to click "reply" and share.

Worked the last OT last night. Man, I really like that floor. It's more spacious than my floor, the axillary staff is much more helpful, the staff in general is more friendly, it's just awesome in a basket of greatness. Last night wasn't too bad, but the night before I had my first patient die during shift. It was a miserable experience, especially since I couldn't find it in me to just let her go (90-odd year old, basically on palliative care, DNR/DNI) and fought to keep her alive until she gave up the ghost around 3AM. We did what we could and, yeah. It was her time.

Sleep has been hard to come by this evening. I snatched a couple of hours here and there, but hopefully I can find a way to become fully rested before my shift tomorrow.

At the Museum of Natural History: a Mythic Creatures Exhibit. Anyone want to head out there with me this upcoming Monday or Tuesday?

I have a S1 of Deep Space Nine to give away (practically - for the low low price of $20 + shipping/handling) as I snagged the S1-7 set Amazon was selling for a majorly discounted price. If anyone wants it reply and let me know.

I'm not reading nearly enough this year. I want to see if I can finish 50 books by year's end. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for works I should tackle? Anything goes.

I also suggest The Great and Secret Show. It is a really freaky book (Clive Barker, what did you expect?), but many parts of it are also very well written. If you like this book you should also try the sequel to it, Everville. There's also supposed to be a third book, but Barker has been saying that for the past 15-odd years. He just procrastinates a lot :D

So now I definitely have to pick up The Great and Secret Show. Thanks for the heads up. :)
