Today did not start great, because I woke up to all of my alarms, but pretty instantly went back to sleep. And I finally woke up at 12:53 pm. And my clinical was at 1 pm. So I ran out the door without doing anything except changing into my SEMO scrubs. Luckily my stethoscope and all of that was already in my car. And Chateau, where clinical was, was about fifteen minutes away.
I made it there at 1:10 pm, ten minutes late. But I went in, signed in, and found them, and Ms. Tripoli was not happy. She's already the strict army teacher, so I kind of expected this. She gave this big spiel about how they just had a meeting this week about how next semester they're going to be changing the rules to if you're even one minutes tardy, you'll have consequences and eventually could get kicked from the program. She said she thought I was in a ditch somewhere. Like damn, can a man not sleep in until 1 pm and then be ten minutes late anymore? Just kidding, I should not have been late and I deserved that talk. After that it was smooth sailing. It was still another hour before I got to assess my person though. And luckily, the person advising my assessment was Stephanie and not Ms. Tripoli. And I didn't even really assess the lady at all. My person was this 95-year-old lady who had a fractured elbow. She really was the sweetest thing, a big talker, but her neighbor was in there visiting her, so we didn't want to take much time. So I asked her a couple of questions, I listened to her heart and lung sounds, tested her grip strength and eyes, and that was about it. Then we just listened to her talk. So that was easy. Also, before all of this, there was a patient with a heart murmur and we got to listen to that, so that was cool. Then we took a picture and that was the end of the clinical. I also checked my Spotify Wrapped afterwards, so here's that.
After that, I went and filled up with gas and then went to some stores. I started at Teen Challenge but didn't find anything that caught my eye. Then I realized I should probably get Janell some stuff because she's getting me stuff for Christmas. I really have no idea what she likes, I'm really bad at picking out gifts. I went to Five Below and got some Japanese and Christmas candy, a Wicked: For Good poster, and a Bob's Burgers keychain blind box. Hopefully she gets Kuchi, because when we were watching the show during the summer she liked him. Then I went to Target and got her a Moriah Elizabeth plush blind box because I got her one for her birthday and this one was different. I need to find some better stuff though.
Then I left town and went to Nana's. My dad was here when I first got here, and I guess he was just checking to see if the temperature and everything was fine for the house. The house is really only heated from a couple of propane heaters, he says those are the most efficient, but I feel like I've been getting more frequent headaches when I'm there. I might be getting monoxide poisoned, because the house does smell like burnt gas now. But whatever. We talked for a bit, but once he left I really didn't do much here, I played a round of Fortnite, started rewatching Stampy's quest series on YouTube on my TV. I love that series. Then I ate some bread, pepperoni, and provolone. Then I left to work out.
I went to HealthPoint at about 7:40 pm and this was not a good workout. I just felt totally fatigued. I did a couple of machines and I felt nauseous and weak. It was not fun. So I lowered the weight, finished up, and was out of there in an hour.
I went back to Nana's, took a shower, relaxed, and went to bed. That was my day.
So not a great day, but not the worst. I got some shopping done at least. 4/10.
