Hey, do you know that feeling of hitching up a long skirt so you don’t fall on your face when walking upstairs, and then you immediately become a wretched yet resolute Jane Austen character? It’s a universal thing, right?

It’s like resting a laundry basket against your hip and suddenly you’re a long-suffering peasant woman, wondering if you’ll survive the winter.

a shawl wrapped around the shoulders and you’re wandering the moors in a Brönte novel, feeling melancholic

[xombiebrains]

Looking out the window at the rain and you’re a love-stricken newlywed wondering when your husband will return from the war.

Long skirt billowing behind you while to go down the stairs, you’re a proper Lady in a flowing ball gown being introduced at a fancy social function.

Hair blowing in the wind and suddenly you’re hovering on a cliff by the sea, staring out into the waves and praying your merchant husband will return from his voyage across the ocean

Hood up against the rain and wind and you’re a medieval abbess defying the weather and travelling on foot with your people to find a place to establish a new community.

Wiping your hands on your apron and you’re an 18th century kitchen girl rushing to let in the delivery boy you secretly love.

The look I gave a father at triage when I asked for the child’s DOB and he says “I can’t remember but look I gots it tatted on my arm!”

When rude and obnoxious patients/family members leave and you want to flip the bird, but also want to keep your job

[half-great-adventures]

Oh my you work at the children’s hospital. How brave. How can you take care of such sick children and do those mean things to them? I see those St. Judes commercials and just want to cry for days. You must not be very sensitive to others pain.

Old Lady who Cornered Me at the Bus Station. 

She would not take my staring at my phone that I didn’t care for this conversation after 12 hours. Longest 10 minutes of my life. Then she told me a story about the adult ED across the street, “They’re are too many people in that Emergency room, they can’t give proper care. One time I was there and there was a lady drunk and a male drunk….” and I just zoned out from there.
