I have recently switched to working full time nights. That means at least three days a week I find myself very much awake when most of the world around me is asleep. But there are often times during the wee hours of the night when all my patients are sleeping, the hospital is all nice and calm (and dare I say the cursed word among nurses: quiet), and I may not be quite as awake as I feel. At least, not the same kind of awake as I am during a normal day. Its hard to explain. I'll have seemingly genius ideas at night that seem so dumb when I wake up from my nap the next day. I'll watch full episodes of Hawaii Five-O and not remember anything from it. I find it normal to snack on carrots and Reese's and drink orange juice all at the same time. I think i'm more emotional, aaaand also more nostalgic. More than once I've found myself tearing up over a picture slash memory of someone who I love or miss. Combine that with the recent realization that I have easy access to blogging from a nurses' station computer during these still moments of the night, and the result is some super sappy lovey happy memory-filled writings about people I love.
So I guess just prepare yourself and realize there is a possibility that someday soon you'll wake up to a blog post of me sharing with the world how great I think you are.
And I suddenly feel a necessary side note: I swear i'm fully awake the moment a patient needs me! I promise i'm a safe nurse dedicated to the safety and well being of all my patients! :)
