Shattered Sun

Five Days! That must be a record for me! Lol! Life has been icky here. I’m not sleeping well since I’ve got an issue with playing nurse and sleeping. There’s just something about taking care of someone when you know that they really can’t take care of themselves, but want to. That’s Jason. If someone’s not up with him when he is, he’ll try to be the ncie guy and not wake anyone up to help him. Sure, that sounds like he’s a sweetie, but let me tell you, there are times when I wish he’d be inconsiderate about that stuff!

So, I’m keeping odd hours, I’m dead tired all the time. You know it’s bad when the terrors tell you that you look tired. They never really notice that sort of stuff. Worse is that I know I’m tired when I go to make cookies and forget to make sure I have everything before I start. So now there’s a big white bowl with a cup of butter in it, sitting in the fridge. Someone call me and remind me to buy flour tomorrow. So, what’s been happening the past five days? Not much really. The local wore off on Jason’s wound and that’s when the pain really hit him. It wasn’t pretty. You know it’s painful when he stops playing video games. (Tangent: Sam just gave me a kiss goodnight and says,”I’ll see you tomorrow.” I’m like, yep, in the morning. He responds, “If you wake up!” Do I look that bad!?) Anyway, I’ve been changing bandages and generally making sure that he doesn’t make it worse than it already is. For a size comparison, the surgeon cut out a hole in his lower back that is an inch deep, four inches long, and two inches wide.

I’m also designing some layouts for Rachel, fiddling with cat images for Sunnycat, working on a menu for Trish (I haven’t forgotten!), and doing some much needed work on digitally twisted. Yeah, not as much as I like is getting done. It’s getting there though. I think we’ll be back to a routine sometime this week, as Jason heads back to work soonish. His last official day of medical leave is March 5th. I’m thinking that he will indeed be heading back to work the following Monday since he’s going to sit in an office and do paperwork. Sounds like fun, eh?

Okay, enough rambling from me. I’ll post more later, I’m sure. Right now I have about five days of reading to catch up with and then I think I’ll head to bed.

Another tangent: I keep hearing that I should be a nurse from the nurses who have to come check on Jason. Think it’s a sign? I do have a year of chem, so it wouldn’t be so tough to transfer from Graphic Design to Nursing. Opinions?
