7/30/26

Today was another first day of my three day work week. I actually got up extra early today (around 10 AM) because I drove home from Frank's Hill to get my white leather shoes, my retainers, and a Witch's Brew Alani. I really only went for the shoes, because any other shoes squeak and just don't feel right at work. And I pet Chowder of course. Then I went back to Frank's Hill house, took a shower, got dressed and ready, and went to work at noon.

There were quite a few transporters here today, it was me, Julia, Brendan, and Vanessa, and there was a steady amount of transports throughout the day. Julia was going on all day about me hitting the water fountain, even though that happened like, a month ago. And she was telling other people too. But we talked a lot today. Brendan left at like 2, and I think Vanessa left at 3, and she had me put her phone up. Like girl, you couldn't walk up to house supe and do that yourself? Just kidding, I didn't mind. My mom got me some protein peanut butter balls and a Mountain (American) Dew from the doctor's lounge because she also worked today, so thanks mom. Julia left at 4:30, right when I needed her, because I had a bed. So I had to move that by myself. Then a little after moving that bed, I was back up on surgical, and I saw the strangest thing. This guy in room 512 was in the doorway to his room, on his hands and knees, and I thought he was stretching or something, I don't know. I did a triple take, before going over to him and seeing what was going on. There were no workers or anything around, either, and his gown was completely open in the back. So I tied his gown and started asking him all these questions, like why he was there, if he could use a walker, blah, blah, blah. Apparently, no one had been coming to his room, and he wanted to ask someone when he could get out of this place, and he'd crawled from his bed to this doorway. I brought a walker over and tried to get him to stand, but his gown buttons just all popped off in this very weird, comedic, but unsettling way. Then he was just completely exposed. Maybe I tied the back tie too tight and that caused that to happen, I don't know. But I couldn't get him up, so I finally went and got some people, and like, 10 nurses and techs came and started freaking out. Then we got him up and moved over with them. And I went up there about half and hour later and he was gone. I'm guessing they moved him to neuro. They were really getting onto his nurse because I guess his bed alarm wasn't set even though she swears it was. The rest of the evening and night was steady and still kind of busy. I had 31 done by the end of the shift and 49 flights of stairs climbed and over 17,000 steps. So at least I got a workout.

I got home late because I got off a bit late. I also got a sweet tea because I felt I deserved one, and it was really good. Then I climbed my stairs a bit until I got to 50 flights climbed. Then I watched The Office, made some delicious ramen, watched some YouTube, took a shower, sat out on my porch at 2 AM listening to faint music from inside until an armadillo came around the corner of my house and scared the shit out of me, and brushed my teeth and went to sleep in my recliner.

So today was alright, at least work was fun for the first part. And just getting up and doing something before work made today feel more productive rather than just working all day. 6/10.

7/25/26

Today I had work so I didn't do really anything that morning except put off getting up until 11 o'clock, taking a shower, brushing my teeth, doing my twenty push-ups, and leaving.

Work was alright. Mark and Brayden were there at first. Nothing really crazy happened. I had a guy from neuro who kept talking about Ford Groves for some reason. I had to take him to MRI. I had to bring a guy in a bariatric bed back from ultrasound by myself. That really wasn't too bad though, but the steer mode was making a weird squeaking noise. Towards the end, I didn't have any from about 6:30 to 9:30, so I put in a couple of fake ones, like wheelchair requests, so it didn't look like I was doing nothing. I watched an episode of The Walking Dead because I kind of miss that era when I was into that. I had to bring a bigger guy up to neuro from the ER, and he was really nice. He told me thanks and that I probably wasn't thanked enough.

After work I drove home, talked to my dad some, ate two big bowls of chicken pot pie, tried finishing Aliens, and went to sleep.

So today was work and it was boring. 3/10.

7/23/26

Today was the start of my three day streak of working. So I got up a little after 11 AM, took a shower, got ready, brushed my teeth, all of that. And I was out the door by 11:40. I got a sweet tea from Kidd's and was at work right at noon.

Work was pretty good today. There were a lot of transporters, maybe too many. There was Julia, Parker, Brendan, and me. Parker was actually really annoying today, just because he just does things weird and I feel like he blames me for stuff that isn't really my fault. Like we bumped into a door or something with a bed, but he was the one pulling the bed, I was holding the door open as far as I could. And he was like, "Bronson!" Like boy. And I had to move like four beds with him. He also kept talking about this house that he wants to buy on Terry Street or something. He was a little obsessed with that. I talked to Julia quite a bit too. I had to tell her about me knocking the drinking fountain off the wall a couple of weeks ago, we talked about Love Island, and she told me a message that Lance had for us. That he wants the transporters to start doing more and documenting everything they do. Like moving IV poles and wheelchairs and marking all of that. And Brendan said that Lance said he wants us to start staying down at the CDU. I don't know how well that's gonna work. I don't think anything else really crazy happened. I only had like, 15 or 16 transports done at the end of the day.

Afterwards I went to Frank's Hill, made some beef stroganoff Hamburger Helper, ate the whole box (because I literally ate nothing all day), watched YouTube, and started watching Aliens, but I fell asleep. And that was that.

So today was literally just work, as all my work days are. But at least there were good transporters to talk to. 4.5/10.

7/9/26

Today we were still in London, ON, so we got up and went to Stacked Pancake and Breakfast House which was across from our hotel. I got the Canadian hash, which had bacon, peameal (which tastes like ham), mushrooms, and cheese. And it also came with toast so I got rye toast, and an egg which I got over medium. That was a really good meal. Janell got some kind of avocado toast, my mom got chicken and waffles, but she really didn't like the chicken so she only ate the waffles. She was talking about that chicken for the rest of the trip and said it ruined chicken for her for a bit. I think my dad got something more basic like eggs and sausage or something.

We'd packed up our things before we left, so we were on the road after that. I was driving because I wanted to drive. Before we left London, my mom and I got a Coke from Burger King because we needed some caffeine. I wanted to Dr. Pepper but they didn't have it. So I started driving and I drove us to Sarnia, which was the next place we decided to go. It was just over an hour and it was an alright little drive.

In Sarnia, Ontario, the first place we went was to the beach, because my mom said the beach here is supposed to be one of the best. We actually didn't end up at the beach at first, we ended up at a park. My mom got out to try and find a bathroom, Janell realized she had ranch all over her seat and her butt that she was sitting on, and my dad was really admiring the old log cabins in the park. Then we realized the beach was down a different road, so we drove a couple of minutes further to the beach.

The beach we went to was Canatara Beach on Lake Huron, and it was actually very nice. It was kind of a rocky beach and the water was really cold, but I loved it. Once you dive under the water, it really stops feeling cold. I think I liked it because it was freshwater. But we swam around and relaxed on the sand for about an hour or so, then we got changed and left.

After that I'm pretty sure we went to some thrift stores. My dad, sister, and I went to a Salvation Army while my mom waited in the car. I found a nice jacket in there that I got. Then Janell and I went across the street to another store called Choice Thrift. I found a t-shirt I kind of liked and a Hockey Nova Scotia jersey which I got. So that store was nice, too. We drove to Walmart after that because we were going to get some beach towels for the beach again tomorrow. I got a little Lego set in there, too, because it was actually like a dollar cheaper here if you convert to USD.

After that shopping, we went to Stoke's Grill and Bar to eat. Janell picked this place out and it was actually a really nice environment. Janell got some kind of pink cocktail, I forgot what it was called. She just wanted to order one because she's legal here. I got some kind of Philly cheesesteak as my meal, Janell got fish and chips, and my parents got ribs. It was all pretty good.

Janell wanted ice cream again tonight, so I drove us all to a place she picked out called The Ice Creamery (very original name). I backed into their driveway which Janell said was crazy. I actually didn't get anything here because I was still pretty full, but they all got something. Janell got a milkshake, my mom got a banana ice cream, and my dad probably got something chocolate.

Then we went to our hotel, which was another Holiday Inn, and turned in for the night basically. We saw another rainbow, which was like the fifth one or something. Then I probably played more Minecraft.

So today was good, I really like Sarnia, it's a cute little town. 8/10.

7/5/26

Today I woke up at Janell's house because that's where I slept after the Fourth of July yesterday. I actually didn't wake up until noon, when Janell had already left and came back from her church job. I slept so late because I hardly got any sleep from her stupid cat waking me up at all hours of the night. Anyways, I left and went home pretty soon after that.

When I got home, my mom said we were going to go ahead and leave today for our Niagara Falls trip we were planning. So I started packing some for that. My mom was getting pretty worked up already and I kept playing Minecraft instead of packing and that didn't help. But I got packed pretty quickly, got things I needed out of my car, said bye to the animals, and all that. Janell got home around 3:30 PM probably and she got ready, too. My dad fed the orange cat and checked some stuff at his building, and we were gone a little after 4.

We stopped at Burger King in Cape first, because everyone (besides me, I wanted Culver's) wanted to go there. I got a pretty good double cheeseburger though. I also got a Kidd's sweet tea because we had to fill up with gas. Then we left Cape and didn't stop until we got to a rest stop. In the car I actually played some Minecraft for a bit because I brought my laptop. We kept driving until we got to Evansville, Indiana, where we stayed at a Holiday Inn.

My mom and sister actually went to McDonald's once we were here because Janell wanted coffee, and they brought me a free cheeseburger back. Apparently her coffee wasn't too good, she said it tasted like tea. I went and filled up the ice container because that's always my job, then I played some more Minecraft. My dad was finding some interesting movies on TV. He also had the crazy quote of, "Look up videos of girls farting after colonoscopies."

It took me a while to fall asleep and I watched several YouTube videos, including finishing the rewatch of the Chris Chan documentary. So I slept from about 2:30 to 7 AM.

Today not too much happened, but it was the start of a vacation, so it was still a 5/10 day.

7/2/26

Today I had work and it was not a good day. I got up at around 11, got a shower, got ready, and left at 11:42 to get to work at noon.

Work was bad because the first guy I had to move was 540 pounds and in a wheelchair, and I had to move him two other times after that. Then pretty early on at around 1 PM, I was moving a patient in a bed with a tech from med tele. In the hall leaving med tele, an IRF nurse was walking a lady and had a wheel chair and pole and everything in the hallway, blocking it, so we tried to squeeze past, but we hit an obstacle. We hit the water fountain on the wall and knocked it off. Only the top part that was bracketed to the wall came off, it just came off the clips, but some water was dripping out. But the actual pipe connected to the wall didn't disconnect. But everyone freaked out and was acting like it was a code blue or something, the way they all crowded around the scene. And the stupid IRF nurse started taking charge, trying to pick it up and saying, "Call maintenance ASAP!!!" I only think he's stupid, because afterwards, he was talking to some other nurse and they both were talking about the incidence and giving me these looks, so I know they were talking about me. A little town gossip is what he is. Probably gloating about how he saved the day. But he was the one blocking the whole hallway in the first place. At least I hit the water fountain instead of the patient, I guess. So we did that and brought that patient up to Cardiac Pavilion. At least the patient thought it was funny. And Carolyn was up at Pavilion, so I was just overwhelmed. After that, everyone knew about it and were asking me. Then I had to move another bed, but with Brendon, and I knocked the bottom of a hand sanitizer thing attached to the wall off. So he probably thought I was drunk. And I kind of ran him against the wall with a bed, too, but that was his fault. Brendon is very annoying to move beds with. He is always the one behind pushing, but he has to hardly be pushing at all. Because I'll be up at the front, steering, but having to pull with all my might. Sometimes I feel like he's pulling the opposite way as I'm trying to pull. And we'll be moving soooo slow down the hall. And the time I ran him into the wall was the only time he let me push, but I ran him into the wall because he wasn't steering it. Ugh. So it was just an annoying freaking day. Everyone was annoying. The transporters there today were me, Brendon, Briley, and Maci, one of the ones still training. Brendon left at 6:30 and I was on my own from there. I had some from the ER, and that was basically my night. One of the ones from the ER, I was pushing her out of the room, but forgot to unplug her catheter tubing from the suction on the wall, so I turned around to do that, but the nurses rushed in and were like, "You're still plugged in! I told you she was still on the catheter!" And it's like, yeah, I saw that, that's why I turned around to get it, it's not like it was about to pull out. And I unplugged that stupid tubing and a bit of pee splashed on my face. So that was gross. And that was my work. I played some Minecraft in the break room for the last 30 minutes because luckily I didn't have any more.

Then I left, went to Kidd's and got a sweet tea, went to Frank's Hill and made some toasted ravioli, watched some YouTube, played some Sims 4, rewatched a Chris Chan documentary because that popped up again, and went to bed at about 4 AM on my couch.

So today was like a 4/10. Work honestly wasn't great but at least it felt like it went by kind of quick. And I kind of like my work days because it's the only time I talk to people and feel like a part of society.

7/1/26

Today was another work day, so I got up from the couch I slept on, got ready, took a shower and all of that, then my mom showed up at around 11:30 because she was going to work some on the house. She brought me Chick-fil-A chicken minis, hashbrowns, and a sweet tea, so that was nice. Then I left and got to work at noon.

Work wasn't too bad, it felt like it went by pretty fast. There were a lot of transporters there. Cali was with Julia and Maci, training them. Brendon was there and apparently he was already by himself and done training, and I don't really know if he was ready for that yet. He had to come ask me how to get to PACU. Then Mark was also there and I think he was on his own now. I helped him move a patient in a bed up to Cardiac Pavilion and we saw Carolyn. She called me a sweetie pie and Jimmy was like, "Sweetie pie?" That was kind of funny. So there were six transporters for a while. I think it was Julia's last day training, too. I didn't really talk to her until Cali left, but we talked some. We did a few transports together and talked about Love Island. I was by myself after 4:30 because all the other transporters had left by then. It was kind of busy but not horrible.

After work I went home and didn't do much, just watched YouTube. I've been watching Stampy's Quest series again, I feel like I watch that a lot, but it's funny and kind of comforting. I think it was around 3 AM before I went to sleep.

Today was like a 5/10. It was just a work day, but work wasn't bad.

6/26/26

I honestly don't remember what I did today, except for the main thing.

Well I know we were over at Frank's Hill some. My mom and dad had gutted the bathroom yesterday, so we worked over there some. I think we got the laminate flooring all torn off.

After we worked over there, we went to the Holmes's because they were having a crawfish boil. So it was a little awkward here because I really didn't know anyone. But Janell was here, my parents, Jennifer, David, June, George, my grandparents, and then a bunch of strangers. But the food was good. Janell talked to some boys she knew there, like Gabe and Lucas Skidmore. We were there for a little longer than I wanted to be, I was ready to leave and hour or two before we finally did.

So that was the day in a nutshell. 4/10 day.

6/24/26

Today I woke up around 10:30 or so and went to work at noon. At work I had to train a guy named Brendon and it was his second day. I've been doing a lot of training here recently, last week with Julia, Parker, and Vanessa, and then now Brendon. I was with him from noon until 4:30, when he left. At around 2, my mom asked if I wanted a drink or anything, since she also worked today. I kinda did, so I went down to meet her in the cafeteria. Brendon also came and my mom got him a burger and drink, too. I don't think anything too significant happened at work today. Kim, one of the med tele nurses dropped that she went to high school with my dad and knew him, so that was weird. It was really slow and I had none for around 2 hours from 7:30 to 9:30. So I had around 26 done by the time I left. Then I went back to Frank's Hill, played some Minecraft, watched some YouTube, played some Sims 4, and went to bed at 3 AM.

Today was basically only work, but it wasn't awful. 4/10.

6/16/26

Today I got up, played Minecraft One-Block Bedwars, went to my dentist appointment where they told me I had a cavity on my left lower tooth and my enamel is gone due to my braces. Then I went to Vintage Stock and browsed without buying anything, it started raining like crazy while I drove to Frank's Hill, I chilled and played some Fortnite there, then left to go home. My mom made sausages and those were good, I played more Minecraft, went outside with the dogs and brushed them out, my family talked some about the vacation we were gonna take in July, I watched the first episode of The Mighty Boosh and thought it was pretty funny, and that was basically my day.

Today was a 4/10 because I didn't do much.

5/10/26

Today was the first day of our road trip that we were going on out west. I was gonna just stay up all night because my mom wanted us to leave at 6:30 AM, but I ended up falling asleep at 4:30 or something, so I was harder to get up because I got that little bit of sleep. I also didn't really pack at all, so I did all of my packing this morning after getting up a little before 6 AM or whenever. So we got all ready and everything, said bye to the dogs, and it ended up being around 7 before we left.

We started driving and my dad accidentally sent my mom's mom "Best Mom Ever" on a Mother's Day gif, so that was kind of funny. The first place we stopped at was McDonald's in Perryville for breakfast and I got two Sausage McMuffins. My mom's car also had an update and you couldn't start the car while it was updating, so we were just waiting outside that McDonald's and gas station for a good fifteen minutes or so while it did that.

After that we were on the road for a while until we stopped at a rest area and then stopped for lunch a little while later. This was a bit before we went through Kansas City, and we stopped at a Burger King, which would not have been my first choice. So I only got a large fry because I wasn't really feeling anything else. Janell got her little veggie burger since she's still pescatarian. We stopped at Cenex in St. Joseph a little after eating to fill up with gas and then kept driving for another four hours. I mainly just slept and Janell and I started a movie called The Reflecting Skin.

We drove up the Iowa and Nebraska border and didn't really stop until a gas station in South Dakota. Then we kept going until we got to Sioux Falls, which was where we were staying for the night.

We went to Red Lobster to eat because my mom had a 10 dollar off coupon, but it wasn't really a great experience. I think we were there more than half an hour before we got biscuits and an hour and a half before our food came out. And our server kept going on smoke breaks and bringing that smell in. And she didn't apply our coupon before checking us out, so we didn't even get the 10 dollars off and she didn't refund it or anything even though we'd already redeemed it. So that was useless. Anyways, I got the shrimp trio and it wasn't too bad, but not really worth the price.

Afterwards, we went to our hotel, which was a Holiday Inn in Sioux Falls. I don't think we did much here, just brought all our stuff in, showered, and got ready for bed.

So today was mainly just driving as far as we could, but it really wasn't that bad of a day. I would say it was a good start to our vacation. 6.5/10.

4/14/26

Today I didn't have my OB clinical, so I slept in until around 1 PM. I slept on the couch and woke up a little sore, so it was a slow morning. I really didn't do much at all until around 3 PM, when I started getting ready to go to an extra credit thing they were having for my adult health class.

I left and got to the extra credit thing at 3:30. This was a little lecture about mandated reporting that was going on in Crisp, and I thought it was only going to be our class, but it was also for the semester below ours, so Janell's cohort. So she was there too, and this room was super full. Like, there were barely any seats left, full. I signed the sign-in sheet and had to sit in the very front next to Noelle and Adriana. I talked to them some, so it wasn't all that bad. The actual thing was led by an older lady who was a pediatric nurse, and it was kind of sad. She told a lot of stories about abuse and sexual assault cases of kids she's seen. This thing went on until 5 PM, and then we could leave.

Afterwards, I had Janell go get me Panda Express from the UC with her funds. So I got this orange chicken with peppers and green beans, fried rice, and a Dr. Pepper. She just got rangoons. We ate and talked in the UC for a bit and then left and went our separate ways. As I was driving when I left, something weird happened and my car suddenly died and lost all power. I was able to pull most of the way into the parking lot across from the SEMO bookstore, I turned my car off, and turned it back on and it was fine. I thought it might've been because I was low on gas, so I went to fill up.

After that I waited out in the parking lot of the hospital because it was about time for me to go to work. Then I went in at 6:30 PM. Work wasn't too bad, the ER was pretty busy. Apparently there were 41 patients down there. So I think all of mine were from the ER and there were only like 5 requests tonight. Even though it felt like more. Nothing really notable from it.

Then I went home, finished my Panda Express from earlier, ate an apple, watched the new Slushy Noobz Fall Guys video, and got ready for bed. I slept upstairs tonight even though it was kind of hot up there because the last time I slept on the couch downstairs, I woke up a little sore.

So today was alright I guess, no class except that extra credit thing, Panda Express was good, and work was average. 5/10 day.

4/10/26

Today I had my mental health clinical and it was at the Southeast Behavioral Hospital again. So I got up and almost fell asleep again, but my mom called me to make sure I was up, and that got me up. I got ready, drank an Alani, and left.

I got to the behavioral hospital at 8 AM and went in. This week, I'd be on the adult side with CJ, Katie, and Tanya, since two weeks ago we were on the adolescent side. So we all met in the lobby and Dr. Twidwell led us to the breakroom in the back to leave our stuff. We had to sit in there for a while while Twidwell led the other three people who were going to be on the adolescent side over there. Then she came back and got us and brought us to the adult side. I was actually pretty nervous because I wasn't feeling any confidence to talk to anyone. I was thinking it might be easier to start talking with adults rather than children, but no, I think it was harder.

On the adult side, there weren't many there at first, I guess they aren't required to be up until 9 AM. There were a few, and one of them was a guy named Steve, who was very friendly. So we all talked to him for a bit. There were only two adult patients in there for a while and the two girls were both talking to them, so CJ and I were just watching Ice Age that was playing on the TV for a while. The next person to come in was a girl named Isabella and she came over and sat next to me after Dr. Twidwell convinced her to come over to one of us. So I talked to her for a good while and it was actually nice. I feel like I got to know her pretty well and I enjoyed talking to her. We talked about her experience here, her goals, my nursing classes, hiking, what to do in Cape, books she's read, journaling, all sorts of stuff. The room filled up pretty quick after that but no one else really came over to our table.

We went to treatment team at around 10:30 AM and got to listen to the psychiatrist and some other professionals discuss the patients. That was also kind of interesting and sad because you learn a lot about their background that you wouldn't learn just from a casual conversation with them. We went back in with the patients and there was a guy named Owen at my table now, so I sat with him and talked a little bit. He was a bit harder to talk to, but he said he's been to a lot of facilities like this. Then they all got the opportunity to go outside, so a lot of them did and we went too. Their outside area was a walled courtyard that felt like a lot like a prison yard. There was a grassy area, a sidewalk, and a basketball hoop. We all played basketball for a while, mainly just us students playing. We tried playing PIG but we all sucked. There was one patient who was doing all of these warm-up exercises and then sprinting full speed on the grass, so that was interesting to see. A lot of the patients were just sitting at some tables outside, and that's what I eventually did. I did that after I had to be the referee for Katie and CJ's little basketball 1v1, which took forever because neither of them could make a shot. The sprinting guy was having a worker there time him, and then he was trying to do all of these calculations to see how much he ran. Then Isabella came back out and asked if I wanted to throw a football some, so I did, and I kind of sucked at first, but I got a little spiral eventually. And we had another good talk, we talked about my college experience, Spanish classes, sports we've played, that kind of stuff. I don't really like how that's the most normal and friendly conversation I've had with someone in a long time. Like, I could see myself being her friend, but she's a patient here and has done some troubled things. But it was really nice talking to her.

We were able to leave for lunch after we went back in. We had from around 11:50 to 12:40, so I went to McDonald's and got a cheeseburger with my points and a frozen Coke because I was craving one. Then I sat up in the trailer park that overlooks the behavioral hospital and where I used to go for piano lessons and listened to music in my car.

We went back in at 12:40 PM and were able to get out charts. I did mine on Isabella because I definitely talked to her the most. So we got a lot of our packets filled out and were in here for an hour or so probably.

After we got all the information we needed from the charts for our paperwork, we could leave and go to post-conference at SEMO, so that's what I did. At post-conference, everyone just talked about their experience at their clinical site and that was about it.

Then I left and went to Frank's Hill, where I didn't do much. I sat outside on my porch watching it rain for a while, took a nap, and then got up and started working on my clinical paperwork from two weeks ago which was due tonight. So talk about waiting until the last minute. I got all of that done after a couple of hours and then started working on this blog entry. I also realized a book that I started last night, The Stand by Stephen King, is a lot like the book that Isabella was reading today, Station Eleven. So that was a weird coincidence. Then I went out and decided to smoke the rest of a cigar that I started a few weeks ago, and I just decided to try and finish it. So I was out on my porch smoking this and listening to music for at least an hour, and it was kind of nice. I think towards the end, I started to get a little nic sick, I felt a bit nauseous, so I quit and drank some water and a couple of sips of Coke. And I still had probably a fifth of the cigar to go, so I really only smoked a little over half of it in this session. Then I took a long shower and went to bed at around 2 AM.

So I guess today was pretty good, I did enjoy the behavioral hospital. So 6.5/10.

4/2/26

Today I woke up at 5:30 AM to get ready for my adult health clinical. I was still tired when I got up because I only got about five and a half hours of sleep, but I actually didn't wake up at all last night and didn't use any sleep aid, so that's good. So I got up, got ready, ate an apple and a banana, and drank part of a Voodoo Grape Monster. I actually ate breakfast because today I was going to be in the OR at St. Francis, so that's exciting.

I got to clinical and went in a little before 6:30. Everyone else got their patients and lucky me didn't because I wasn't staying in neuro today. So happy about that. I did help Panashe give his bariatric patient a bed bath because I didn't have to be at OR until 8 o'clock. That was pretty interesting, I think the guy had a Staph. lugdunensis infection, which I'd never heard of. So that took a good hour and a half or so. We did the full bath, changed his external catheter, and changed the bed sheets.

Then at 8 AM, Whitney took Kaerynn to the wound clinic and me to OR. She passed me off to a lady named Debbie, and I guess Debbie knew my mom because she was asking about her. And then Whitney started going crazy like, "Who's your mom?" because she thinks she knows everyone. Debbie led me to the breakroom area and showed me where to get scrubs and change in the locker room. So I did that, and then I met back up with her. Unfortunately, there weren't any crazy cool cases today, like no cardiac stuff. I got stuck sitting in a robotic inguinal hernia repair for the first one. There was a nurse in there named Julie or something that was talking to me some about the procedure. That whole thing probably lasted an hour or so and I walked back to the PACU once they were done. Then she told me to wait outside of room 4 for the next case. So I waited for like, twenty minutes until people showed up in there, then I went in. This one was a hemorrhoidectomy, awesome. Just kidding, it was not awesome. I was with Dr. Richmond for all of these cases. So he held the anus open with this speculum thing and I couldn't even really tell what was going on. They sprayed betadine on that whole area and that was kind of terrifying looking because it looked like blood. And there was a lot of blood once he started digging in there. There was a nurse in there named Richard who was talking to me some. I think he was from Texas. After that one, I kind of just wandered around some because I didn't know where I was supposed to go. There wasn't really a specific person I was supposed to be following, and I just kept walking in circles, I was kind of lost. Eventually I found Julie and she said I could go into one in room 5, which was another robotic inguinal hernia. Great. So I saw another one of those. They are kind of cool, and I got to see the entire process this time, I missed the setting up and everything for the first one. There was actually a complication in this one, I think they accidentally made and incision in the stomach or inflated the CO2 in the stomach or something, so it took some extra work. After that, there was a gallbladder removal or something that I started out in, but realized it was almost 12:30 PM, so I went out and Debbie found me and said my instructor was looking for me. So she led me back to the locker room, I got changed, talked to a guy named Alan who said he knew my mom, and went back up to the neuro floor.

We went over post-conference and I wasn't late or anything. We were out before 1 PM, and I texted Janell to see if she'd get me food and she said she'd order me Panda Express to pick up. So I went to the UC and picked that up, I got orange chicken and fried rice. Then I went to Nana's, ate that, and fell asleep for almost two hours. Apparently my dad came over here, but I was asleep so he didn't wake me up. When I woke up I had about an hour or two before I had to go to work, so I got some stuff done and then left for work.

Work started out not busy for the first thirty minutes, and after that it was busy non-stop for the rest of the night. Like crazy busy. There was this one guy on CPC that I had to get twice throughout the night for x-ray and CT, and he was pretty difficult. He was in constant pain and always groaning and cursing, I guess it was abdominal pain. And it always took me forever to find his stupid nurse to disconnect his IV. And he also made me bring the whole telemetry computer with me. Like, we did not need that, he was stable. Then PACU was assigning me stuff like crazy all night, which was unusual. I guess they finally discovered how to put in requests. I had three or four from them. But I kind of like going back to surgery. There were several ultrasound ones and some ER stuff, too. Janell called me when I was almost done asking if there are any more drug tests throughout the semester because she was planning to go smoke with her friends. Ridiculous. Anyways, I had 13 requests done by the end of the shift. That's the most I've had in four hours. I snatched a piece of pizza from the med tele break room and left at 10:30.

After that I went to Nana's, studied some mental health for the exam next week, wrote this, and ended the night.

5/10 day today. At least it felt pretty filling again.

3/31/26

Today is the last day of March and man, this month flew by so quick. I don't even remember anything significant from it. Anyways, today felt pretty full, so I'm choosing to write about it.

I woke up and got ready at around 7 AM and went to my clinical for OB at St. Francis at 8 AM. I was the only one scheduled for OB clinical this week, and it was my diverse day so I was supposed to be at the NICU clinic where I'd never been before, so I was a little scared. I went inside and waited in the lobby area for the Women's and Children Pavilion because I didn't know if an instructor like Kacie Curry would be there or not. And once it was several minutes past 8, I figured she wasn't gonna come get me. So I went into this women's health room and asked someone and they said to go up to the third floor where the NICU was. I wasn't sure about that because I knew that the NICU and the NICU clinic were two different places, but I got on the elevator with a family and kind of followed them, and sure enough, there was the clinic. It wasn't called the NICU clinic, it was called the growth development clinic or something, but they said I was at the right place.

So I went in there and the first lady I saw was someone I knew, it was Christina Dougherty, Riley and Delaney's mom from Nell Holcomb. I went into the room that the family I rode the elevator with was in and got to watch the nurses do everything. These babies were about 13 months old and were twins and were pretty cute. They got measured and then the nurses were doing lots of tests and stuff on them, like seeing their motor skills, can they find what cup the puff is under, can they pull themselves up, stuff like that. So honestly, this seemed like it would be a pretty good nursing job, nothing stressful at all. To bad men don't really work in this field. I followed around a nurse named April, but there was also a nurse practitioner I followed some. There was another baby that I think was around four months old with orange hair and that baby was adorable. She was having trouble pooping though, she'd only go like once a week or something. So they were trying to find fixes for that. They turned out the lights and swaddled her and tried feeding her in a low-stimulation environment I guess. This baby was really hyper-sensitive to everything, like any noise it would look for, if you moved it looked at you. The last baby was nine months I think and the mom was worried because he would sleep for over 18 hours a day and he had a really flat expression. But I guess all of that was pretty normal and he just had low muscle tone. And that was basically it, after that baby they said there wouldn't be another one until 1 PM, so I could go. So I left at around 11:50. So I think that was my easier clinical ever. It felt like it went by super quick and it was pretty fun.

Afterwards I texted Janell and she said she'd get me lunch. So I went to the UC and we walked in with her friend Alyson. She got some kind of sandwich and I got a delicious burrito. And I talked to Candy, the lady who's always working back there. She's always nice. Janell and I didn't talk much because it was around 12:10 when we met and she had to be at Crisp to record her TikTok assignment at 12:30 with her group, so we took our food to-go and talked on the way out.

I left and went to Nana's to eat. I ate out on the porch, and afterwards, I went and laid in the grass with my shirt off. I figured I'd try to get a little sun because it was a UV of 7 then and I'm still pretty pale. So that was nice, I just relaxed and listened to music. My mom called and said she's gonna bring me some food to eat before work, so she got me Taco Bell and showed up after a while with it. Then I kind of had some free time, I played Fortnite, got some homework done, watched some YouTube. I ate some of my Taco Bell and then left for work at 6:15.

I got to work and it was pretty busy because Rylee called in sick so I had to do it all myself. But it didn't really feel that busy, luckily. There were a lot of new people, like employees, I'd never seen, so that was interesting. I embarrassed myself one time because I was bent down doing something in a patient's room and then I stood up and bonked my head on the TV and went "Ow!" And the patient and two nurses were in the room and saw it. Then I embarrassed myself again because I decided to be nice and put the pads on the bed for a tech, and I put them on upside down apparently. So she corrected me. Another time I got a little embarrassed was when I brought a guy up from the ER and he had a wheelchair in his room that I forgot to take up with me. I went back down to return the stretcher he was on and the nurse lady was like, "Did you realize he had a whole wheelchair that you left behind?" in a snarky tone. And I was like, "Whatever, I'm going back up there anyways," so I brought it back up to him. But work wasn't that bad, I did 10 transports in four hours.

Afterwards I went home, ate my cheesy gordita crunch and drank the rest of my Baja Blast, watched Slushy Noobz Patreon video from today, played some Skyrim, brushed my teeth, put my retainer in, and wrote this.

So it wasn't that exciting of a day, but it felt more filling than most. So 6/10.

2/25/26

Not too much happened today. Today was my latest class but I still had to be there at 9 AM. So I got up, got ready, and went to that.

It was the maternal-newborn lecture class, so it was pretty boring. My nose started running out of nowhere, so I checked my bag for some allergy medicine and all I had was Benadryl. I knew it could make you drowsy, but I had part of an Alani this morning, so I figured one pill wouldn't be too bad. Well, about thirty minutes after that I was dozing off. So it was pretty hard to stay awake. I had to get up a couple of times to go to the bathroom and splash some water on my face and stretch. In class we did the APGAR group project and took a quiz over neonates at the end. So I stayed awake for those parts.

I went back to Nana's after that and fell asleep on the couch at around 2 PM. During that nap I had the craziest dream that I guess was Benadryl-induced. Here is the dream that I wrote down right as I woke up because it was so surreal:

First part I was really into horses. There was a place by June’s house with horses and Lou Ann’s house was also near there. I kept driving by to see the horses and one time Lou Ann saw me and stopped me. She had a wad full of cash because she’d just given piano lessons to someone. She was there with someone else and they went out to my car with me in it and started messing with this thing I had on my hood, and it was doing all this stuff. It was like a speedometer on the dashboard of my car that could control a covering on my windshield.

Second part of the dream, our family was on a vacation and had a hotel in Texas. I woke up one day and my family was gone. I went outside and walked along the road in the desert until I got to an intersection with a billboard that said “Massachusetts that way” with an arrow. There were all sorts of metal painted cacti around this intersection and a billboard with a bunch of brochures. I thought about trying to hitchhike with any of the cars that were passing, but then I called my mom and asked what our plan was today and she got kind of mad that I asked that, but what I meant to ask was where they all were.

Third part, I ended up at Sarah’s house by myself somehow, and eventually all of her kids showed up. I remember they were doing some weird stuff to me, like Lydia was braiding my hair into some weird hairstyle or something. Then Johnny showed up and I remember having the hairstyle when he got there. He couldn’t talk very well because he’d just been to some weird religious cult thing where they had to remove some of his bones, and they took some of his teeth. But it was something that he wanted to go to, but he felt ashamed to talk about it.

The fourth part of the dream, I was at the religious place. Janell and my dad were also there. It was in a big room that was kind of like Elk's Lodge with tables and chairs and they started serving food. It was really vibe-based here. In remember Janell was acting a little off and my dad saw that and got mad. You really had to fit in with everyone. There was some phrase they used to indicate when someone wasn’t acting like they should, but I forgot. My dad was kind of into this religion, I was pretending so my vibe wouldn’t be detected. They started serving food and I went to get some. I went to break off a piece of sausage to put on my plate, but ended up putting lettuce instead. I was really struggling to serve my food. But I got it and ate it, and then it got even weirder.

The fifth part involved people from my nursing cohort as well as Adventure Time. I think the food we ate was drugged, because cracks started forming in the room that the religious cult was in, and lot of people escaped. I was one of them, and I started running, along with some other people. Some people from my nursing cohort like Noelle were following me, but we were all being chased by something and they couldn’t keep up. Then I was somehow in Adventure Time, but I was using powers from Terraria, and I started chasing Princess Bubblegum, it was all weird from the drugged food. I eventually made it back to the religious room where they had cots all out on the floor and Jayden and some others from my nursing group were there. They’d also escaped but came back to the room. And that was it.

So that was the dream, it doesn't sound that different than any other crazy dream, but it felt different. It felt like such a long and surreal dream. So I woke up from that at around 4:30 PM and went out on the porch to write it down in my notes app. I didn't really do much else that evening, just watched YouTube, probably played Terraria, then watched some Modern Family, made some red beans and rice and the beans were still hard, so that wasn't too good. Then I took a nice bath and listened to music, then finished my homework after that, brushed my teeth, took some melatonin, and went to bed before midnight on the couch.

So pretty good day I guess, but not really. All I did was go to class and have a trippy dream. 3/10.

2/24/26

Today I had a simulation day for my maternal-newborn clinical, so I got up at 6 AM, got ready, studied for maybe a minute, and left because we had to be there by 7:00.

I got to SEMO and went up to the second floor where they were meeting, and the first thing we did was take a "ticket to class" which was a twelve question quiz that we had to get at least an 8/12 on to participate today. And she also said if we fail this, we fail the whole clinical. So I studied for several hours for this yesterday, so I was kind of confident, but when we got the quiz, I was so scared. I felt like I didn't know any of the questions. I was one of the last people to finish, and I ended up getting a 9/12 somehow. But I had to guess on some. The questions were like, which communication method should you use, what's the breathing pattern for compressions, where should the resuscitation leader stand, and none of this was what I studied. My watch gave me a notification that I had a high resting heartrate while taking it.

But after that was done, we went to the assessment lab, some lady talked to us for a while, she put us into groups (we were group 2), and then we went to the stations. There were three stations, one for delivery, one for NRP after delivery, and one for SBAR. So we did the delivery one first with Dudley, then the NRP one with the other lady. For that one, we practiced listening to a manikin baby's heartrate and there was this duck with a hat IV stand in the room that I was obsessed with. We also had to give breaths to the little baby. Then SBAR was just working on some papers and examples. I started feeling sick in the middle of this and left to go take a dump. Don't know what was up with that. Maybe because we had to do check-offs at the end of the day today and I was nervous. We started check-offs eventually and Paige said she'd do them with me since I didn't have a partner, but then Panashe said he'd be my partner even though he was also Zach's partner. The check-offs took forever, each group took like 20 minutes and there were probably 12 groups. So we were waiting for over an hour. Panashe and Zach went, and I was gonna go after them so Panashe could just go back-to-back, but Tanya said she had work, so I let her go and me and Panashe had to wait another 20 or 30 minutes. So it was around 12:30 by the time we went, and it went pretty good. I was really nervous, but I didn't do that bad. She asked the four pre-birth questions, then we had thirty seconds to set up the room, then the baby was born, and they had this manikin baby all covered in this vernix stuff, Panashe did most of the stuff in this room and I was just standing there. Then we went to the other room and I did the breaths and the MRSOPA stuff while Panashe did the heartrate. And that was basically it, we passed. Then we went and had to fill out some other forms afterwards for a while, and we were out of there before 1 PM.

the only picture of the duck on all the internet

After class, I went to Nana's and slept from 2 to 4:30 on the couch, played Terraria, and then my mom brought some sushi here after calling. So that was yummy. She also brought some McDonald's chicken nuggets from my dad. Then I just played some piano and goofed around a bit until it was time for work, and I left for that at 6:15.

I was surprisingly the only transporter tonight. Usually Rylee would be here or someone who's training. But it was just me, and it luckily wasn't very busy. Just some ER transports, nothing crazy. But this was my first time back on the neuro floor on the fourth floor. I guess they finally got done with the renovations and opened it back up. So that'll be different, they've been working on that probably since October. And it looks basically the same up there, the floors are just more modern. But yeah, for the last couple hours I don't think I had any transports and I ended up just playing Survev.io and Terraria on my laptop. The State of Union Address was playing on the TV behind me, so I listened to that, too. And that was it.

I went home afterwards, watched YouTube, listened to music, ate some sushi, and made green beans on the stove because I was hungry for them. Then I watched an episode of Only Fools and Horses and fell asleep on the couch.

So today was probably a 5. Kind of boring.

2/13/26

Today was kind of eventful, compared to most of my days. I started out by getting up and getting ready for my mental health clinical, which was at Gibson Center today. I also drank a coffee and then took some ibuprofen and a muscle relaxant because my back was still hurting some today, but was not anywhere near what it was yesterday.

So I left for that and got there at 8 AM. It was me, Aastha, Ellie Kate, and Briana there today, so we met up in the parking lot and walked in together. We had to sit in the waiting room for like, 15 minutes before someone came to get us. That lady talked to us some in a small conference room, just telling us the rules and all that, then we got a little tour, and then we went to their morning meeting. This was kind of boring, they were just talking about some of the patients, where they were going, where they're coming from, that kind of stuff. Then we split up and Ellie and Briana went somewhere, while Aastha and I stayed in the meeting room. We got to see some of the people get their meds, so that was kind of interesting, but not really. One patient, Lindsay, had to take Narcan and see if she felt better, so we just sat in this room for half an hour seeing if her symptoms got better. And I think my muscle relaxant was making me tired, I forgot that was a side effect of those. So I kept drifting off to sleep in my chair. Eventually that was over and the lady we were with took us on a more in-depth tour, over to the rehab area. We were over there for a bit, a guy over there gave us a pretty comprehensive tour. The patients were watching some comedians on the TV. Then they got information that we shouldn't be over in this area because one of the patients was a SEMO student and it was a breach of contract or something. So we were evacuated out of there and went to a big group meeting afterwards with all these patients. In this meeting, they were all able to talk about drugs and alcohol and all this stuff. I kind of missed most of it because I was really sleepy during this. Apparently there was one guy at the meeting who hears voices that he thinks are from God, and he's schizophrenic, and was waving his hands around. The people from my class were talking about that in post-conference. I completely missed that. But yeah, after that meeting we were basically done, the lady there signed our paper, and we left.

I went to Kidd's afterwards, filled up with gas, got a sweet tea, and then went to Nana's. I think I probably just played Terraria or watched YouTube there. I've been really into Terraria lately. That's been my game of the month.

Post-conference was at 2:30, so I went to that at SEMO and we talked about our experiences at our clinical sites. Nothing much happened here.

I went home afterwards and didn't do much here either. I think I played more Terraria and laid on the heating pad for my back. We were planning to go out to eat tonight for Janell's birthday since we never celebrated it because mom and dad were sick. I was going to go with my dad back to town, but he was going to the gym beforehand, so I drove myself back to town. I actually stopped at Nana's, dropped my car off, and then my mom picked me up. She also dropped off a ton of groceries that she got, so I'm fully stocked up over there. Thanks mom!

So she picked me up and we went to pick Janell up, who was at her dorm taking a nap. After we got her, we drove to Olive's Pitaria, which is where she decided to go. We got there and my dad met us there soon after.

The restaurant was in a house, so it just looked like we were walking into a house. But it was actually really good. It was mainly Greek food, so there were gyros, falafel, hummus, all that kind of stuff. I ordered something called a "Oh my Shawarma Wrap" which was shawarma chicken, pickles, and garlic sauce in a wrap and a side of fries. And mine was quite delicious. My dad got a gyro, Janell got something called a falafelito, and I think my mom got shish tawook. My dad's took a little longer to come out than everyone else's so he was a little sad. But all of that food was very good. And for a Friday night, it wasn't too slow. There wasn't a wait or anything. My weird acid-reflux thing happened pretty bad when I ate my food to fast and I had to go to the bathroom and digest all of that. Then Janell also ordered a Dubai chocolate cheesecake slice, and she shared a couple of bites with me, and that was delicious, too. I've never had Dubai chocolate before, definitely recommend. So that place was really good. I also took the rest of Janell's burrito thing because she wasn't gonna take it to-go.

After that we went back to drop Janell off and then me. After my mom dropped me off, I was planning to put on Modern Family, just relax, enjoy my solitude like I always do, but then Grant from TKE texted me, asking if I want to go out with them. So I said sure, because I haven't been at TKE since I left. So I cracked open a beer to prepare a bit for this and played Roblox until time to go.

I left to go there at 9:30 and drank almost a whole Four Loko that I had in my fridge once I got there. Then as I was heading in and ran into Nyk in the parking lot and talked to him some. Then I went in and talked to Scott, Owen, Ryker, Grant, and Whitlow who were all in there. Then we went out a little after 10.

I went with Scott and he drove us to Hypno. There was not much at all going on at Hypno. I ordered a vodka lemonade because that's what everyone was ordering. And it was pretty good for 3 dollars. I was pretty awkward at ordering because I wanted to just order and pay for it there and not open a tab, because the last time I forgot to close it and got a 15 dollar charge from The Library. So we sat there a bit and talked, not much happened. Then Scott took us to The Library. There, I talked to Rachel and Abby who were there. Then I went back over to our group and talked to them. I didn't even order any drinks from here, but I was drunk at this point. The Four Loko was kicking in. For some reason, I was really wanting the guys to go talk to this group of girls, because they always say they will, but they don't. So I went up to them and started talking, and Larik came over (he was there too) and he pulled me back over. I don't know what came over me. Literally liquid courage, because why'd I do that. We left eventually and went back to 333. We talked outside for a good while, I talked to Scott and Whitlow for a good bit, a couple of drunk cigarettes were passed around, and Scott was talking about how much he loved Alysa Liu. Then we were winding down and I slept on the couch there, and that was my night.

So today was good. 8/10 maybe. Just because it felt filling.

2/3/26

Today I didn't have class because it was my OB clinical day and it was my off-week. So I slept in till around 11 AM. When I got up, I noticed the cat food I put out last night was gone now, and I actually saw the cat again, but it ran into the barn. I really hope that cat stays. So I didn't do much at all today, I just watched YouTube (quest series), ate my banana bread, cleaned dishes, swept the floor, won a Fortnite match, stuff like that. When my mom got off work, she brought me McDonald's, so I had a double cheeseburger, fries, nuggets, and sweet tea. My mom is sick with something now (hopefully not RSV) so she had on a mask and had a hoarse voice and stuff. Poor girl.

I went to work at 6:30 and it started out a little busy, lots of stuff from ER. I talked to Rylee some, she said she's going to start going to therapy again. There was this one crazy lady I had to move from ER named Kathy and a security guard girl had to come with me. Kathy kept yelling for Brittney and Robbie. She was just shouting at her max volume through the halls at 10 PM at night. And she'd tell me to stop pushing her and that she didn't want to go. It was pretty sad. I only did five transports today so I had some time to get some of my homework done, too.

I went back home afterwards and was going to start on my GDM diet assignment that is due tomorrow, but I fell asleep before I could start it.

So today was boring, but kinda nice just doing nothing. 3/10.

1/30/26

I had my mental health clinical today and it was at the Jackson courthouse, so I got up at 8 AM or so, got ready, put on some business casual clothes that my mom had laid out the night before, grabbed my lunch that my mom made me, said bye to my dad, and left.

We were supposed to meet the judge at the courthouse at around 9:15 and the drug court was supposed to start at 9:30. I got to the place and parked on a street about a block away and went in. I forgot we can't have phones in there, so I had to go put it back in my car and come back, and then security let me through. I went up to the third floor and the other students were already there, waiting in the hall. There were only five of us here today, Tanya, Briana, Abbey, Jayden, and me. We had to wait for a while, and the judge finally came out of his office or whatever at 9:50. We talked to him a bit and he led us into the courtroom with all the people on trial or whatever. We sat in the back of the room and all the other people on trial sat scattered around the room. There were about fifteen people in the room who were there for drug court. The judge would call one of their names, they'd go up to the podium, he'd ask them some questions about how they've been doing, what step of the program they're on, stuff like that. He had to talk to them for at least five minutes or something, so if there was extra time, he asked a lot of them stuff like, "What's your favorite food," "If you could go anywhere, where would you go," stuff like that. It was kind of sad, like one guy said his heat went out and he lost his job and all this stuff, but it is nice that they are trying to get help for him. There was one lady who they brought out of a locked door who had handcuffs and a Cape County Jail uniform on. I think she was there for a DUI. After that whole group was done, another fifteen people came in and they went. In all it took about two hours. At the end, we went up to the judge, he signed our sign-in sheets we brought (I messed mine up because I wrote on the wrong line) and we left.

I went to the Jackson Walmart afterwards at around 12:30 because I was bored and had a bit before I had to go back to SEMO for post-conference today. At Walmart I looked at some plants because they had some nice ones on sale and Legos. I got a little ten dollar Ninjago set because sometimes you just have the urge to buy something. After I checked out and was leaving, a guy outside the sliding doors came up to me and asked me something. I didn't really hear him at first and thought he was asking for money. So I kind of was confused. Then he talked some more and he said he needed a ride to his house, and he sounded kind of desperate. He pulled out his wallet and offered a ten dollar bill. I was a little doubtful but then figured why not, so I took it and led him out to my car. He had several bags of groceries, so he put them in my trunk, I cleaned out my passenger seat, and he got in. He was an older guy, probably in his 70s and I think he had on a veteran hat. I talked to him some on the way to his house at the Jackson Senior Estates and he was pretty nice. His name was Bob, he said his day's been hectic, his wife wouldn't have been able to pick him up until 3:30, he moved to Jackson from Cape in 2014, all sorts of stuff. I told him about my treatment court experience today and about me some. His apartment was only about four minutes away, behind El Torero. So I got there pretty quick, said bye, and that was it. So I'm glad I did that and I kind of wish I wouldn't have taken his money. But that was a nice bonus.

After that I drove back towards Cape and just went to Nana's for an hour. I built my little Lego set, ate some grapes, and then left to go to post-conference at 2:15.

Post-conference lasted about fifty minutes and we just talked about our experiences at the clinical sites today. I guess about half of our cohort was there and the other people went to the Behavioral Hospital, Gibson, and PSD or wherever. Ours at the drug court was probably the most boring, but it was still a cool experience.

After that class was out, I went home and didn't do too much. My mom got home and brought some Taco Bell, so that was yummy. My dad got home later and I talked to him some and told him about Bob. I think he was kind of proud of me for taking him home. Then Janell got home later so I talked to her some. I played some Roblox and met some nice people who were from New York. Janell liked them because they were singing Harry Styles. I actually ended up talking to them for a couple of hours until they got voice chat banned. And then even later that night, I drank some of that apple Fireball and smoked the rest of the cherry cigar, listening to music. It also started snowing for a bit at around 3 AM. I went inside and fell asleep watching Modern Family. So that was a nice little night.

Today was actually pretty good I guess. 6/10.
