Today was New Years Eve, but I still was working. I stayed at Nana's last night and didn't even set an alarm, but I woke up at around 8 AM. I got up, made some mac and cheese, ate that entire box, and then watched the last two episodes of Freaks and Geeks. I took a break from this show for some reason, maybe to make it last longer. I think it might be my favorite show. But those episodes were really good. After I finished that I left for work. On my way there, I listened to "It's Just Another New Years Eve" by Barry Manilow. I've listened to that song for the past three years now on New Years Eve. It's a pretty great song.
Work was not as bad this time as it was yesterday. Except I think Cali may have had some beef with me today. This first thing she said to me was, "Why does your hair look like that?" She said it looked like I got shocked with static. Then I was waiting for her to take someone in a bed, and a nurse asked me to discharge a patient while I was waiting, so I did, because I'm nice. And ended up waiting for me and seemed mad. Then when we got back to the break room, she took her stuff and migrated to who-knows-where, probably to get away from me. Also, she kept judging how I did things, like how I moved the bed into the dialysis room, like girl. Anyways, there wasn't really anything crazy today, but the hospital was just so full. I heard that St. Francis started sending people here, the ER was just packed. My mom wasn't here when I got here, but she got here a little later because she got called in. She was only here for a bit I think, but she got me a Dr. Pepper from the doctor's lounge. I had to do several requests helping Jaime move beds and that wasn't too fun. I also saw and talked to Riley, Janell's friend who now works in ultrasound. There was some German chocolate cake in the break room, so I ate a couple of slices of that throughout the day. I'd ended up doing 24 transports by the end of the day (22 on the phone, but I'm counting a lab sample and the discharge that didn't get put in). At least I didn't get a migraine today. The last couple hours were slow again luckily. I played Survev.io and watched the new Slushy Noobz Minecraft video.
I went home as soon as I could and talked to my dad and laid down. I only had an hour before midnight and the new year. I watched some of the stuff on the news but didn't really see the ball drop. My dad and I did end up going outside and I shot my shotgun twice for the new year at midnight. We also heard some other shots and fireworks. And that was about it, after we were done listening outside, we came in and I ate a meal that they had brought from June's to me. Yeah, the family had a get-together at June's for my grandma's birthday. I kind of wish I could've gone to that. But the food they brought for me was good, there was salmon, bread, and brussels sprouts. I ate that, drank some sparkling, and watched Death Note, and fell asleep watching that in the chair.
New Years really wasn't that great this year. It seems like in previous years, I was more reflective and optimistic about starting a new year. Now it just feels like tomorrow just gonna be another day, which is true, but still. It could've been worse, I could have been one of the people in the hospital for the night. But today was alright all things considered. 5/10.
