There has been little energy for much else these days. Some highlights would include:
- the boy has cut 2 teeth
- my Fully Stoked hoodie that I wear every night and morning when I come home from the hospital
- The 10 Best Lightsaber Mashups
- training Jujitsu here. I come home after training and limp into the shower, but I love it. And I AM improving… I think. My larynx is actually just starting to let me swallow without pain, as Sunday we were working on some pretty brutal chokes. Apparently I didn’t tap out fast enough.
- graphs like this from GraphJam:

more graph humor and song chart memes
- being over halfway done my adult placement at the hospital. the respiratory ward has been good to me. i have a good bunch to work with, but i prefer my children. i can’t wait to get back to them. i actually had my first patient die tonight. i helped bag the body. the experience was not how i thought it would be. i don’t really know how to explain it, but it was all just different. i have been rostered on for nothing but afternoon shifts for a month. 1:30pm-10pm. Guess what time of day perfectly fine people go “pear shaped”? 9pm. Almost without fail. Every night. On the upside, I do get to sleep in every morning… I just can’t do anything with anyone who has a regular 9-5. Almost done though.
- watching old episodes of Human Weapon. I find the history of some of the martial arts interesting (see Marine Corps Martial Arts and Krav Maga) but I watch for statements like, “Now that we have mastered sword techniques…” after a days worth of training. Yep, you’ve mastered that in a day. Tell that guy who has been at it for 60 years who you learned from that. Hilarious. But I have found it interesting.
- re-watching the BBC Office.
- my kick ass mother’s day presents for jo… a nose piercing AND a new hair straightener.
- drinking more tea.
- matty b. joining us in the land down under for a few days.
- my hockey team winning the stanley cup!
- mornings with my son
- finding it hard to connect with our community working the hours I am at the moment
- making a mix tape for mr. hurd
- having kirk and jo’s wedding present fall through… stupid deceptive marketing… on to plan b… and yes I know they got married ages ago… i SAID i was busy!
- bob and gina got married
- waiting for my own copy of “spaced” to arrive in the mail (if you have enjoyed simon pegg and nick frost i think you’ll like this mini series they did back when…)
- random emails/chats from my brother
(skip to the end)
done
