On the verge of comatose?

This week hasn't been as busy as I thought it was going to be since I got called off work Monday (I was supposed to work overtime) but I think it has definitely made me tired! Last night Carrie called me when I'd already fallen asleep because I couldn't stay awake any longer and I couldn't even remember what I was saying halfway thru a sentance. Carrie says I wasn't making any sense and she finally said "I'd better let you go cause you sound like you're about ready to slip into a coma..." This morning I barely remember what we talked about for 8 minutes and I remember thinking to myself last night, "This must be what it feels like to be drunk or very drugged."

Tuesday my orientee, Emily, and I didn't get to eat lunch until 3:30 PM because we were so busy. Needless to say, we were very hungry and on the verge of fainting. She said "Is this normal?" to which I responded "NO!" but I suppose its better for her to be aware that days like that do happen when she's got help to get thru it than when she's by herself drowning. I'm enjoying teaching her things and she's catching on quickly. Who would have thought I'd be training somebody how to be a nurse this quickly? How far I've come...

Wednesday I met Hollie at the Lookouts stadium for a noon game. It was great fun and we enjoyed catching up a bit. Somehow my face got toasted even though we were in the shade the whole time and no other part of my body is burned! Go figure. Several people did a double take at work looking at my sunglass raccoon tan lines. Here's a picture of the fun and there are some more on Hollie's blog from boating a few weekends ago.


Hollie and Brooks are coming over for lunch. We're having spaghetti, the Sabbath tradition, wouldn't the Heilmans be proud? It's really because that's all we've got but hey, it works...

Tomorrow I'm off to Gulf Shores, AL for Nurse Educator's Boot Camp. I'm not really sure if that sounds like fun but maybe being on the beach in a condo payed for by SAU will have it's pluses. I get back Wed. night late, work Thurs/Friday, then my parents come for the weekend and my birthday! Maybe some time in the midst of all this I'll actually get to see Ryan. He's supposed to get back sometime before next weekend.
