i hate goodbyes

this morning, i was invited to go to ava's party.  and i did - and it was so good to see all my old co-workers again.  dr. h, allen, lt. jacobs, andrews...and ava.

she was teary-eyed a time or two, but told the best stories.  being a former psych nurse, she has quite a few to tell, and i'll record those eventually. 

she really is an admirable woman.  she is as tough as nails and softer than cotton, and a lot of lives are better for her having been in them. and some lives were not made better by her...but she always did what she thought was right. 

and so, i spent an hour with old friends and said my goodbyes to a helluva nurse.  the rest of the day was frantic.  my boss, carol, is scattered these days and needs a little extra help.  that's a sure sign someone feels overwhelmed.  i did manage, though, to get through half of doctor schell's 5/25 clinic and should have less than 15 more progress notes and psych evaluations to go.  not too bad.  they should be caught up by his next clinic date. 

transcription sure does increase typing speed.

and now...it's about to rain.  my coffee is ready, josh is on his way over and i'm gonna go have a few quiet minutes to settle my thoughts.
