Some of you have heard, but not all know that today was a "feel good" day. What does that mean, you ask? I guess some might call it a confidence boost. I prefer to say 'feel good.' Quite simply I felt good at the end of the day. I didn't leave my 10 hour shift with things on my mind about the day. I felt remotely competent. I had 5 patient visits that I took the lead, I contributed some of my knowledge base to my clinical instructor (and it was even helpful!), I did better and better at documenting. It really might come down to making it through the day without feeling like I was going to cry, not a single patient yelled at me, and I didn't encounter a single demented person! That's how today was. Plus, I got to talk to 3 good friends...just keeping the good feeling going!
Tomorrow is the last work day for the week, which is my 2nd week at the hospital, and then I have my first 3-day weekend that I'll spend entirely in the Fairbanks area (last weekend I sped the 2 hours down to Denali NP, but more about that when I can upload pics). Tomorrow is also my last day at the wonderful, log home, with the wonderful people and labs I've been staying with. Tomorrow I branch out into the realm of petsitting, where I willl be taking on the 'zoo' for 2 weeks. 3 dogs, 4 cats, some fish, and a bird all under one roof! The owner, herself, called it such. Let the adventure begin and I'm hoping the good times keep rolling. If nothing else, I trust I'll have good story material! If I'm not ready for dogs after this summer, I never will be.
Sending my love to all with the promise to try to get some pictures up this "weekend." Oh! sorry it's late, but Happy Summer Solstice! It was Wednesday. 22+ hours of sunlight here.
