Boring....

Today was orientation. And it was boring. Really quite boring. I had to struggle hard several times to stay awake. And I still have 2 more days of this drudgery. I yi yi. The one amazing thing I learned about this hospital is that it has had only 1 MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection in 2 years! ONE. That impressed me to the point where I felt my eyes grow big lol. They said that one of the biggest sources of MRSA was determined to be cannulations (IVs) so now those can only be initiated with a prescription order and there are strict protocols for how often it has to be checked and replaced.

But what was great today was that I went running with my roommate. First time in a long time and it was a rough start. If I hadn't been running with someone I would have quit a quarter of the way and just walked the rest. But since she was running the entire time, I felt like I couldn't just stop but had to keep going til my legs gave out. The cold air didn't help, but once I got past the point where I thought I couldn't keep running, it got easier and I hit a stride. Just focused on breathing in and out, in and out. It was a happy accomplishment and one that surprised me. Oh and on the run back home, I was sure I could smell the distinctive scent of weed as I passed the hospital... Someone self medicating perhaps?
