Dragging my head out of the sand
Last week, I worked 12h days on the weekend, and then I worked 3 12h night shifts in a row. I stayed up on Thursday morning after my shift to go snowboarding with my father. I was exhausted by Thursday evening. I still have not recovered.
I feel obligated in my life to do everything - this stems from my desire to regret nothing in life - I don’t want to miss out on anything. I also...

No-Poo: mission accomplished?
No-poo is going well. I’m still shampoo-free, not to mention conditioner-free, from whenever I started this in the summer. My hair feels better than it did about a month and a half ago though, so I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe my scalp has finally adjusted. A month ago though, I was having problems with dandruff (too much information?), but that’s worked itself out with...
i'm not dead. i'm just leaving.

…For the next three days, I slept great, was more attentive to my wife and kids, didn’t think about work for hours at a time, and just plain enjoyed myself immensely. I was, dare I say, living in the moment. I had just learned first hand that disconnecting from the virtual world enabled me to connect more deeply with the real world. Wow, I thought, I could get used to this.
That...
Statistics
So I started my correspondence stats course today, two and a half weeks after getting the course package. It’s interesting in a strange way, like this is something to think about besides work. So I’m not gonna lie, I’m really enjoying this. It’s weird to learn something on a voluntary basis and not because I absolutely HAVE to.

Travel for snow
Booking a trip to BC in 12 days for 5 solid days of boarding on BIG WHITE. I absolutely can’t wait.
My first day out this season was on Monday. Brutal drive out, but totally, completely worth it! I heart snow.

Two nights ago, I was at work getting vital signs on one of my patients. He’s been in and out of critical care for his heart condition. And I looked at him, drowsy, slumped over, skin and bones with a skin rash from his latest round of antibiotics and hormones and chemo, and I just thought to myself, “what the fuck am I doing with my life?!”
Sink
I get into these moods where I just sink, and everything around me that I can see or think of makes me sink even deeper.
These are times when all I can think about is breaking free of everything in my life - wishing I could bury my head in the sand and not have to think.

Failure. This last time this happened was October 2, 2001.
