Why?
Sometimes that is the legit question I ask myself. Why do I work? Why do I go to nursing school full time? Why do I do anything at all? Why am I NOT a stripper? Then reality hits.
I work because I don’t want to be homeless. I go to school because I want to make a better living for my children. I do things because I have to get them done in order to better myself and my situation. I’m not a stripper because I can’t dance.
That’s why.
But damn....a bitch is TIREDTTTTT!!!!!!

Everyday Questions
What the fuck am I in a relationship for? I don’t understand. I feel like the Lord every day tells me that I am meant to be alone and I ignore him. I need to be alone. Just my daughter and I. I don’t need a damn man. They bring me nothing but stress and anger. Some days are fine. Perfect. But then there are days where I want nothing more than to kill him. Strangle him in his sleep. Kick him the fuck out. I need to re-evaluate my life man because this ain’t it. The Lord did NOT put me here to be stressed by a walking thing with a dick in between its legs.
LOOOOOOOOOVEE 🗣🗣 NEVER KNEW WHAT I WAS MISSING 🗣🗣🗣 BUT I KNEW WHEN WE START KISSING I FOoUOUouOhOuO
Everytime😂

How to Handle Having TOO MUCH To Do
So let’s say you’re in the same boat I am (this is a running theme, have you noticed?) and you’ve just got, like, SO MUCH STUFF that HAS to get done YESTERDAY or you will DIE (or fail/get fired/mope). Everything needs to be done yesterday, you’re sick, and for whatever reason you are focusing on the least important stuff first. What to do!
Take a deep breath, because this is a boot camp in prioritization.
Make a 3 by 4 grid. Make it pretty big. The line above your top row goes like this: Due YESTERDAY - due TOMORROW - due LATER. Along the side, write: Takes 5 min - Takes 30 min - Takes hours - Takes DAYS.
Divide ALL your tasks into one of these squares, based on how much work you still have to do. A thank you note for a present you received two weeks ago? That takes 5 minutes and was due YESTERDAY. Put it in that square. A five page paper that’s due tomorrow? That takes an hour/hours, place it appropriately. Tomorrow’s speech you just need to rehearse? Half an hour, due TOMORROW. Do the same for ALL of your tasks
Your priority goes like this:
5 minutes due YESTERDAY
5 minutes due TOMORROW
Half-hour due YESTERDAY
Half-hour due TOMORROW
Hours due YESTERDAY
Hours due TOMORROW
5 minutes due LATER
Half-hour due LATER
Hours due LATER
DAYS due YESTERDAY
DAYS due TOMORROW
DAYS due LATER
At this point you just go down the list in each section. If something feels especially urgent, for whatever reason - a certain professor is hounding you, you’re especially worried about that speech, whatever - you can bump that up to the top of the entire list. However, going through the list like this is what I find most efficient.
Some people do like to save the 5 minute tasks for kind of a break between longer-running tasks. If that’s what you want to try, go for it! You’re the one studying here.
So that’s how to prioritize. Now, how to actually do shit? That’s where the 20/10 method comes in. It’s simple: do stuff like a stuff-doing FIEND for 20 minutes, then take a ten minute break and do whatever you want. Repeat ad infinitum. It’s how I’ve gotten through my to do list, concussed and everything.
You’ve got this. Get a drink and start - we can do our stuff together!
WOAH THIS SOUNDS HELPFUL. I’M GOING TO TRY THIS IMMEDIATELY. Also, I made a chart for myself, but if anyone else wants it for reference (or if this is wrong and I misread you can tell me) here it is:

Hang in there, NaNoWrMo peeps!
I just want someone who won’t get annoyed when I text them six times or in all caps. Someone I can go on long drives with and can sing along to the radio with. Someone I can eat pizza with at 2am and kiss at 6pm. Someone who chooses me every day and never thinks twice about it.

*DING DING DING* yep
REALLY GOOD
Deserted but not Alone.
It was one of those shifts. One that dragged on and on and was mostly spent with the nurses huddled together at the station, giggling over something ridiculous a patient said. It was low-key and low drama. Perfect for seasoned nurses; a real bore for new ones. Our manager, a gem of a lady, came through handing out shots of expresso to boost us.
We were all laughing and having fun when my charge nurse said quietly, “ Do you think we could move this group into bed 7?”
I looked at her surprised.
“How come?” I questioned immediately. Her response was equally quick.
“He was just made comfort measures, they are starting morphine … and he has no family here or that’s coming.”
We all immediately stopped lounging and got up. Our orientees dogging our steps, we filed into the room. All 9 of us on the floor. We took turns murmuring our hellos or simply squeezing his hand. He peered at us and nodded. He had been on our unit for a few weeks and we had all, at some point, encountered him. He was simply adorable. His wife had severe dementia and didn’t know him anymore. His only son was estranged. His neighbors had already said their goodbyes.
One of the nurses who had him the most leaned over to him and said quietly in his ear.
“Your wife is ok. She will be taken care of…” she paused and squeezed his hand, “You’re with friends now, ok?”
He opened his eyes and looked around glassy eyed as his oxygen levels dropped. 9 figures in blue surrounded him. He nodded briefly and closed his blue eyes.
“My friends.” He repeated to himself over and over.
Tears clouded every eye in the room and the ones closest laid a hand on him as we watched silently as the color drifted from his cheeks.
The new nurses looked around nervously as death came into the room. The rest of us were stoic with shimmers of tears threatening to spill over as we watched the last bit of life drain from his face.
I stepped back and discreetly surveyed the room. All eyes were either looking down or at him. Bittersweet smiles on their faces as they knew he was at peace. 9 nurses, side by side, grieved for this man whose family was unable to do so. It was in that moment that I could see how lost the hospital would be without nurses, how sterile and heartless it would become. I stood with 9 of my coworkers who work short staffed constantly and nearly half have been hit or bitten since I have worked with them. They are degraded, ignored and yelled at by patients, families and staff… and yet they are the most humane, sincere group I have ever known.
This patient died without family.
But he did not die alone.
School has begun
Guess what I did last week? Started nursing school. FUCK. MY. LIFE. To walk into a classroom and hear all the shit that they are expecting along with all the readings and quizzes/test is overwhelming to say the least. I can see that I am going to be swamped. I pray that I can find a balance so that my child does not feel neglected and alone.
