They sure do push a lot of carts around here. I hear at least ten carts per hour in the hallway. What the heck is in all those carts? I mean, there is the dining cart, but that comes around only a few times a day. The others I can think of are housekeeping, laundry, bio-waste, sharps, medical equipment, maybe like inventory restock. But those are just a few, there's no way they constitute ten per hour. It makes me think that Sarah Jessica Parker sent me and Rhys a robot to escape in, but the robot got lost or distracted.
I really, really want to know what is in the carts, but I can't figure out a way that won't make me seem creepy and weird to the staff. I could ask, I'm sure they would tell me, but that's weird. Or, I could open the door a bit to check it out, but that would be creepy. There are blinds on the window that goes to the hall, but I don't want to peer through a crack in the blinds every 5 minutes, because that won't seem creepy or weird, it would just make me seem downright abnormal and they might call the doctor thinking that I have progressed into the advanced stages of Lyme infection, which can make a person sort of loony.
Janine just came in and said that we were too easy to take care of. Really? I feel weird enough about having people at my beck and call 24 hours a day to do anything I ask them to, I don't need a complex about it. I've hit the call button many times by accident. I would be so annoyed at me if I were Janine. Which is why I would never be a good nurse, and why they are amazing nurses. They really want to help us any way they can.
The only thing I really do depend on them for is middle-of-the-night cranberry juice with ice. They only have styrofoam cups here. I hate everything about styrofoam, but it is becoming oddly comforting to me. For instance, if I wake up at 3:20am (or rather, when Rhys wakes up at 3:20am), and have to nurse and inevitably hangout for an hour or so afterward watching TCM and trying to get Rhys back to sleep, cranberry juice with ice in a styrofoam cup brought by a nurse is an absolute must have. More so than morning coffee.
And now please excuse me while I snuggle my baby and drool over Legolas. Don't forget: check yourself and your loved ones for ticks.
Carly, hopefully this month will fly by and you and Rhys can celebrate your Mom's birthday at the lake. Keep thinking happy thoughts as you always do. I would send you a non-styrofoam cup but then someone would have to wash it and it would probably involve another cart, so I won't.
