Things that make me happy
Sep. 25th, 2017 12:09 pmI like when others post things that make them grateful, happy or just glad to be alive. Because I certainly am glad to be around, back at work (or having an unexpected day off, like today) and eating chocolate. So here are three of my happys today.
I worked with a lovely new nursing student all weekend--and funnily, since I am generally the first person the manager goes to with the preceptor students (who work with us for two to three months), it turned out, I was the third in line. The first nurse M was with the Sunday before was off this weekend, and the second nurse M was supposed to shadow had a VERY complicated assignment which was not at all appropriate for a brand new student. So I inherited her, and we got along fantastic. She's smart, funny, and used to be a professional ballet dancer. Cool, since I was once a very amateur dancer in college theatre. I was a bit in awe of her, and she in me for having worked in the ICN for 29 years. LOL. She asked if I'd be back on Wednesday, which I am, but I'm not sure the protocol usurping the original nurse's position. I know the other nurse well, and have no problem being her second when needed.
A story I posted on AO3 in the Lewis fandom has 83 kudos! That is by far the most kudos I have ever had on any story, any fandom, including Starsky and Hutch where I have over 120 posted fic!
I have watched three episodes of The Orville, and like it very much. I am not a big Trekker--I mean I like Trek and all its versions well enough, but particularly never liked Kirk. (Love Picard and many other characters.) I genuinely like all the characters on Orville--they seem nice, happy to be on a ship, and enjoying working together. Even Ed and his ex-wife Kelly who socialize and chat quite a lot for a divorced couple. Also love the two helmsmen (can't recall their names--the redhead is Gordon?) and the cute first officer Alana. The episode the other day where the big guy from the all male planet and his partner had their female baby's sex reoriented to male was really thought provoking and sad.
Not actually a happy but--The water is turned off today in my building today (as it has been on and off for several weeks due to ongoing plumbing retrofitting) so I can't wash the dishes, laundry or floor. Oh, well.
