Catch up, beach and nights

Tuesday 8th October woke up 8ish potter for abit aim to go for run or to gym, but never happened. Eventually got moving 11.30 to catch train to central and met Sarah there at 12.15 got bus to Bondi junction and change there for bus to Bondi. Go to Ravensi for lunch which is situated in the heart of Australia's well known beach, we decided to sit upstairs outside which gave us a better view off beach. Decided to have the garlic prawn pizza and a glass of wine which was all very nice but I didn't manage to eat it all. It was then time to have a wander round the shop as unfortunately it wasn't really sunbathing weather. We managed to find a few new shops which I don't know existed and I think I might have to come back at some point. However I was very good and didn't buy anything but Sarah got some new sandals which were a bargain, all I got was a coffee. It was time to get the bus back back to the city which this time was straight there no changing at Bondi junction got off at David jones. Then I was very luckily and just made the train with 2 minutes to spare and got to Rhodes 5ish. Aim was to go for run as soon as I got back but foolishly laid on bed to read book and fell asleep for over an hour. Once awake was going to go for a run but was getting dark so thought best not to go so instead watched home and away. Then go to gym just after 7.30 was there just over an hour and ran on treadmill did 3.4 miles but much prefer running outside. Once home not really hungry so watch TV then 2 episodes of Homeland with rest of tawny wine bed 12.45. Woke up 8ish did washing then went to Rhodes centre popped to Coles first to get blueberries and bananas. Then to post office to pick up parcel was mum and dad's flight itinerary and some white chocolate lion bars. Made the train at 10.37 to central and just made bus to Coogee got to beach at 11.30. Was a nice day again 28 degrees but only stayed on beach til 3 as then thought best getting moving and had missed call from children's hospital. I then had a look round the shops but didn't buy anything all I got was fruit juice and something to eat banana and berry bread. Got home 5ish first stop Rhodes to get pie for tea, chilled for abit then thought best have rest before night shift had over an hour. Ended up getting up just after 7 then had dinner pie and salad whilst watching TV before I had to go to work. On way to work phone mum to tell her recieved parcel and about children's hospital phoning but have to phone them back tomorrow. Was very surprised at work was 4 staff with only 24 patients and I was in charge so ended up with 6 patients each. My 6 patients didn't really have much happening just one patient with pain so had to give breakthrough. Two off our staff had to cover meal breaks, so didn't actually start our breaks til 2ish and I was last to go at 5ish tried reading book but think nodded off. Finished on time home shower and bed not tired at first so finished chapter think asleep 8.30ish. Woke up 1.30 breakfast watch episode of Homeland also phoned Sydney children's hospital to see what their wanted. Unfortunately not successful for job but asked if can put me forward for haematology/oncology one and obvisiously said yes. Decided would go lay round the pool as was 37 degrees stayed their for 2 hours had dip in pool after hour which was very cold. When came up checked emails, then thought best go for run as seemed to off cooked down did 2.57 miles but throat very dry when back. Once hone watch Neighbours and Home & Away then have tea but not that hungry so just had rest of antipasto. At work was one person off sick so meant only 2 RN's ans 1EN for 22 patients, so ended up taking 11 patients each. So was slightly busier than yesterday but was still a nice night but at 3ish was feeling very tired ended up going for break 4ish. Was going to take blood in morning but ran out off time as had a few buzzers going and realised forgot to give chemo drug but was ok just had abit later. Finished few minutes early speak to mum and dad to see how Nanna's appointment went needs to go in ASAP for hip as has collapsed. Once home not that tired so read book but then could feel eyes so fell asleep about 8.30. Woke up 11.30 then back to sleep til 1.30ish, once up do washing and watch 'Homeland' 2 episodes then thought best do something. So at 4ish eventually went to Coles to get a few things like more wine and some frozen coconut yoghurt. When I got home was going to sit on balcony but too cold as draft so read book for abit. I then phoned mum in regards to Melbourne trip to see if keen to go head, not sure yet. Had tea then watch further episode of 'Homeland' now up to episode 7 so won't be long til finish season 2. At work was expecting to be moved as only had 20 patients with 4 staff (3 RN's & 1EN) but luckily didn't had 7 patients. But I did cover meals on MAU (2East) where had admission when arrived and did personal care, then back went 2nd break. Rest of shift was ok but about 4ish felt tired think it was because I was reading my book. Finished on time and on way home stop at Coles to get milk and a few other things. Went to bed 8.30 woke up 11ish but then back to sleep til 12ish played on internet til 1ish then watch 'Homeland'. After watching one episode went to pool 3ish but was a few kids but still managed to do a few lengths. Then Tiago came round 3.30 both laid round pool for abit and he ended up pushing me in. Once upstairs chilled for abit then get take-away pizza and delivery was so slow, Tiago then kindly offered for Vanessa to have aswell. Trust me to spill coke over myself and the floor but was ok then Tiago kindly gave lift to work. Ended up getting moved to 5 North where had to special patient which was so boring and could feel eyes going then went for break 12. After break felt more refreshed but when ADN came round could feel eyes going again but probably as all my patient did was sleep. The ADN asked if I felt the special was still needed said no so stopped it and wrnt back to my ward where just helped out as no point taking own patients. Finish 7.20 once home speak to mum and dad on Skype and still not sure what doing about Melbourne and think might sell mini as seems abit silly keeping.
