awkward & awesome

Awkward:

-while on our way out, an asian couple in the lobby of our apartment building who were carrying six grocery bags asked us to help them carry the bags up to their apartment. Didn't speak much english and we each carried one item upstairs. I carried the loaf of bread. Awkward elevator ride.

-when someone carves "F#%! you" on the wall outside of our apartment door and I put a anonymous sticky note politely saying "grow up, thanks". Sorry, had to be said. psssh renters.

-when I try to be sneaky and run to the laundry room to switch over a load to the dryer when our neighbour catches me in my robe and slippers. 

-my clinical unit. period. just awkward. I am so out of my element and feel completely lost everyday. It's overwhelming. And awkward at the same time.

-OH on top of that, my patient independently going to the washroom and getting back into bed then ringing the call bell and yelling "NURSE JENNI!!!" what did she want? for me to go flush the toilet for her. Enough said.

-realizing you are completely incompetent when it comes to operating a blender. Another mis-hap tonight. uh oh. 

Awesome

-our church calling... your looking at the new nursery workers. LOVE it. 

-jordan packing me a gourmet lunch to take to clinical complete with an encouraging & loving note

-jordan surprising me with AVX tickets to see the new twilight movie this saturday

-just one more day of clinical until the weekend. counting down now.

-TLC marathons. It's addictive, sue me. 

-how we bought christmas ornaments without having a tree. just too excited I guess.

-waking up at 5 30 AM yet feeling completely refreshed and ready for the day. Rare, but awesome.

-can I say it again? modern family. Could watch reruns all day and still laugh like the first time. wednesday's are our favourite. 

-texting my grandparents. never thought I'd see the day. thanks to their "texting course" it was made possible.

-air wick christmas plug-ins. cinnamon spice every time I come home.
-writing stuff on my To-Do list that I've already done just so I can cross it off and admire how much I did 
-cuddling my parents dog Fred. we love him & he is awesome.
