What doesn't kill you makes you stronger in A new era
My job makes me wonder why some people are made to suffer and others are not. There's no rhyme or reason, no logic to any of it. Some people have painless, comfortable deaths, and some people h...
reminiscing in A new era
it's funny isn't it, how you change without even realising. i've been reading over my downloaded diary, there was something weird with the formatting so i've been going through correcting it an...
Time to face the final curtain in A new era
Imported from OD: It's entirely bizarre to think that when I turn on my computer, and open Facebook, AOL, and opendiary...... Well, it won't be opendiary for much longer. I started my first di...
Worth the wait in A new era
I ran tonight. For the first time since the Santa dash at the beginning of December. It was a killer, but I forced myself to do 4.5k. Now I've hit 5k and know I can do it, it feels a cop out not ...
I think my patients have been trying to break me this week. I worked three long days, and they are three of the worst shifts I've worked back to back in a long time. you quite often get a terri...
Whenever I'm sick I cry. For absolutely no reason. When I'm sick, I'm completely on the edge emotionally. Tv adverts for cat food can make me cry. So imagine my reaction when john text me this:...
In sickness and in health in Dear John
I love that we are both sick, and even though you want to hibernate when you're sick, you came to my house, and we looked after each other, and were two germ ridden lovebirds. I love that you m...
I don't think I wrote about hamburg, in December. That is right people, I managed to book a holiday with a boy, and actually go on that holiday! I was beginning to think holidays were the kiss of...
i am sick. well, the whole group of us who came out for new year are sick to be fair. john started with the sneezes on new years day, and slowly got worse, and I worked Thursday night, felt abs...
festive fun and merry making in A new era
firstly, before I go on about how amazing my Christmas has been, I just want to thank you all for your notes on my previous couple of entries. it's safe to say work has been emotionally challeng...
So I'm working tonight. I went to see john before I came to work, at his uncle's house, so caught up with his mum and his uncle too. Was a bit of a misery on the quiet, I'd had a terrible night i...
one of my ladies died today. I've looked after her since she was first diagnosed with leukaemia, way back when I was a student. her husband hugged me and thanked me for all we'd done, and said ...
it will be lonely this christmas..... in A new era
Work is horrific. Everyone is so poorly and it just seems so much more unfair and heart wrenching at Christmas time. i'm looking after a young lady, 34, who walked into hospital on the 6th De...
Santa dash in A new era
Today I ran the Liverpool Santa dash, a 5k fun run where all the participants dress as Santa, full on Santa outfit, beard, hat and the rest. Until may, I hadn't even run for a bus. It was actua...
Blood, sweat and tears in A new era
I have 17 days off from work. Well, 16, today was day one. And man am I in need of them. Yesterday was my third long day in a row, and what a day. It started with a phone call from one of my pa...

That three month thing in Dear John
I think I've been having a little freak out, but I've only just realised. John and I have been together for three and a half months. Half a month longer than the majority of my relationships over...
Everything all at once in A new era
I seem to be having a period of insomnia currently, and when I do sleep I have terrible dreams where the dog can't walk or John is a drug dealer who gets shot and dies and I have to go into witne...
Death by night shift in A new era
Night two. Of the seven I am working, in an eight day period. Yup, that's right, shift work sucks. God knows I love my job and wouldn't change it for anything, but if I could just not work such c...
I have to say, I'm loving writing here. It appeals to the slight OCD thing I have going on. I love that it feels fresh and organised. I'm loving the different books for different aspects of my li...
Burning the candle in Dear John
John's supervisor has been suspended. Which means John is covering his hours. He's working 8-6 five days a week then 8.30-1 on a Saturday until this mess is sorted out. He's not happy, he's boo...
The dog is sick. He was vomiting and having diarrhoea overnight last night, and was super lethargic this morning. We got him an emergency vets appointment and they instantly admitted him and put ...
I had a lovely catch up with Laura on Friday. She was working from home, and finishing early to go and finalise the details for her wedding rings. She has her nan's wedding ring, and is getting...
Quality time in Dear John
John just added me on Skype, so he could skype me in a quiet moment at work because he wanted to see my face because he didn't see me last night, bless him! He was having his ear bent by his fr...
