Work, Les miserable and races

Was nice not to go back to work on Tuesday as planned if I had been the acting NUM but now someone else doing it. So on the Tuesday just had a lazy day sorting things out and had the cleaner come round in morning. Then on Wednesday was back to work on a early which was ok people glad to see me back and new acting NUM seemed nice even if she didn't introduce herself to me. After work on Wednesday was back to gym as thought best get back into it but no running today. Then on Thursday 16th April I volunteered to move to 5 East as there were going to send the new EEN which thought might be abit unfair. So I offered to go since I know the ward and had nice shift people seemed pleased to see me also made me team leader. But there were very short staffed only had 3 of their own staff on the floor so 3 staff got sent to help. At night go watch Les miserable with lou and Nat but bus late then took a while as alot of traffic on George St. Took abit to find them as we were at different entrance and eventually found with with time to spare before started. Show started at 7.30 and much preferred the 1st half as more songs which I recognised and lasted 1hr 30. Then 2nd half only 1hr had 30min interval and went to toilet trust their to be a queue but luckily moving fast. Finished 10.30 and couldn't be bothered doing buses so got taxi which was $26. Really enjoyed Les Miserable probably helped as seen the film so knew what the storyline was about. It was beautiful to look at and listen to as is a musical epic like no other and is a truly unmissable experience but think still preferred Wicked. On Friday at work on morning again and one RN got sent to 5East again so left me with two New graduates, an Enhanced enrolled nurse and 2 students but at least only 14 patients. So the EEN specialised two patients so left 4 for the rest of us and had a nice morning 2 admissions which the NG's couldn't do as never done before,so I did one. Then had another RN arrive at 11.30 so she did the other admission which was good and finished on time. Went to gym when home wasn't bothered about going so took abit to motivate myself to go but once there enjoyed and ended up been their for 1h 30 mins. As ran over 5kms on treadmill best done for ages in just over 35 mins and pace under 10 so very happy with it. Then on Saturday off to Randwick races with Tiago woke up before10 then have breakfast just poached eggs but probably should of had more. Didn't take too long to get ready as I knew what I as going to wear my purple dress but took a while to do my hair as just wouldn't go right. Luckily the weather was nice as was worried it might rain since it had done yesterday. We were going to get a taxi there but couldn't find any from neutral bay then bus turned up so caught that to town hall then got taxi. Got to Randwick races just before 1 so we missed the first race and we weren't sure if had time to bet on 2nd race but choose who we wanted. Then trust the horses which we would of bet on to come 2nd and 3rd. It was then to get drinks and was actually cheaper to get a bottle of sparkling rose than a glass as only small glasses. But we did bet on the 3rd and my horse actually won 'Slightly sweet' so not a bad start to the day. Only thing is we couldn't find seating at first but eventually found good seats in the sun nice beach chairs very comfy. The fourth race we didn't do aswell and both off our horses came no where but Tiago's horse 'Barrister' was in lead for most of it. I then let Tiago put the next bet on for us and he forgot to put for place so was win and was very luckily as my horse 'Gypsy diamond' won. Nat and Lou were also at the races so Nat came to say hi and then I went to see the others invited us to join them but thought Tiago happier where he was as would be with 6 girls. It was then time to put on our next bet for the 6th race and this time is was Tiago's horses turn to win 'Dissident' and my horse came no way. We then thought we best get something to eat as on our 2nd bottle of wine so I went to get sausage rolls but person behind me left without paying as no one to stop him. Only 2 more races left so the 7th race Tiago's horse came 3rd but think since bad odds was good winning over $50. Unfortuantely for the last race both off our horses came no way and then time to collect all our winning as done on TAB machine and over $80 which isn't bad. It was also Tiago's first time been to the races and he enjoyed but probably helped as nice day and we won. We got a taxi back home and then with our winning we got a pizza take away for dinner.
