Such a miserable week. Monday I couldn't drag myself out of bed until 11am, and then I was only up long enough to talk a little with my hostess, say 'hi' to the girls, eat something, and then pass out on the couch. I ended up officially waking up at 4pm. So for me, Monday didn't actually happen. Tuesday and Wednesday I went in to work about the clinic, but I was pretty much a zombie the entire time. Learned about clotting and the various ways medication affect it. Thursday there was a call to pick up a patient with a blood pressure of 215/199. Not even joking, and he was about an hour away. Also on Thursday my depressed immune system decided to pay me back by letting me catch some nasty little GI bug. I could barely keep anything down, and had crazy stomach pain. Thankfully, it cleared up in a couple of days.
Also, at some point during the week (well before the GI issue) I tried soy milk for the first time. Vanilla flavored. Not bad actually, and it's supposedly healthier too. Not to mention it's $2 cheaper up here than the same volume of regular milk. The local grocery store is making a killing because they are basically the only place to shop for this town, and many of the northern towns. I mean, who sells bread at $5.05 a loaf? and milk at $5.00 a HALF gallon. So glad I make my own bread and only rarely drink milk. >.< I actually pretty much just use milk for baking, and unfortunately you can't substitute in soy milk. The consistency is different, and it does have a very distinct taste. Oh, and whilst I'm ranting about prices, how much is your gas? Mine is $4.29-$4.39. I praise my lucky stars the crazy little dodge neon I'm driving gets 33-38 mpg.
