I was trying to think of a good idea for a post yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work and BOOM! A Day in the Life of Me was born. Because all good ideas come while you are blow drying your hair right? So here it goes…
4:45 am: WAKE UP! My alarm is actually set for 4:15 but lets be honest, I hit the snooze a minimum of three times in the morning.
5:30 am: Showered, Hair and makeup done, about to pack my bag and head out the door. Fun fact- my scrub top is the last thing I put on as I am headed out the door because I am notorious for spilling something on my top.
5:50 am: This particular day I had to stop for gas.
6:00 am: Stop at McD’s for a Carmel Frapp.
6:25 am: Arrive at work and get report.
7:00 am: Start seeing my patients for first rounds.
9:00 am: Go on a trip to CT with one of my ventilated patients. Fun. NOT.
10:30 am: LUNCH TIME!!
11:30 am: Second rounds with my patients.
2:00 pm: Break time!! With a Diet Coke of course.
3:00 pm: Third rounds with my patients.
4:30 pm: Bored.
5:00 pm: Got called to no less than 3 code blues, had 2 stat bronchs, and a patient extubate theirself. Not the way I wanted to end my day but at least it went fast.
7:30 pm: FINALLY got to leave work!!! (I normally leave at 6:50)
7:45 pm: Hit up Mex-to-Go on the way home.
8:20 pm: FINALLY home!!
8:45: On the couch about to watch Grey’s Anatomy and eat my din!!!
10:00 pm: Face is washed and about to go to bed!!
And that pretty much sums up my day!!!
What do you do for work? Are you a nurse?
Your days are just like my days literally! OH the joys of us being nurses ;)
Holy smokes you have long days! This seriously made me exhausted reading about your day! Does Sophie stay in a crate all day?
Interesting post! I can’t believe you can take your shower, then do your hair and make-up in less than an hour! Wish I could.
Dang you have some long days! I use the snooze button much more than I should. Has lead me to turning it off and falling back to sleep and being late a time or two in the past. Whoops!
mex2go, rasp tea.. so jelllly!
you are seriously one of the most beautiful women (naturally beautiful!) you could totally sleep in longer and just go without make up! Oh and…wow girl! those are long days….how many days do you get off per week?
Damn, girl! You’ve got some BUSY, BUSY days! I don’t know how you get up so early every morning. I have to be at work at 9am and sometimes (read most days) that’s a struggle for me! I loved reading about your day! Another fabulous idea! PS- I second the fact that you’re totally gorg!
Hmmmmmm. Mexican foood. Pumping gas has to be the worst chore ever.
I agree with Whitney and Jenn- you are a beauty! Also, you are incredible for making it through long days like that! I would probably keel over from sheer exhaustion halfway through. You’re a beast
