S a t u r d a y - When I got up this morning, it was pretty late, like 10:30 late. For the record, I haven't woken up that late since I broke my ankle; maybe that statement doesn't make me look any better, but seriously, I cannot stand waking up that late. My day is dead, murdered, gone, SOL.
Well, after trudging out of bed and feeling like I just got hit by a truck due to my over-sleeping, my next thought is this: this week has been the most insane since I broke my ankle.
Considering I broke my ankle not that long ago, maybe you may not see that as a big deal, but man, it only emphasized my I-just-got-hit-by-a-truck feeling and the pounding of the headache in my head.
Nevertheless, this week has been a mess. So, I decided to go ahead and 'nursing diagnosis' myself, and probably a few of my classmates feel this way as well:
Powerlessness RT this week's occurrences
"The lived experience of lack of control over a situation, including a perception that one's own actions do not significantly affect an outcome."

This week has been long, even though Monday was a holiday and there was no school; like serious LOL at the irony there.
This week has been so long, I feel like I haven't blogged in, like, a month.
S u n d a y night was spent in the best way possible; a sister date night decently fan-girling over a movie and its actors (& soundtrack).
M o n d a y was spent doing the usual: studying and drinking coffee.
T u e s d a y is when the week got interesting. My morning was early due to the early clinical shift and an hour commute. There was a slight mix-up in scheduling and we were sent home with the day to ourselves and a makeup clinical right around the corner. The sad thing is, I had no idea what to do with myself on this 'free-for-all' day. Yeah, I could study, which I tried to do, but I was, for the most part, not behind on anything and just could not focus. So I took a nap and took a picture with Coco (pictured below).
T h u r s d a y and F r i d a y were beautiful back-to-back clinical days which contained lots of coffee and too many naps. I can safely say that I am overdosing on my fair share of caffeine, so may my cut-back-on-coffee-rehabilitation begin. Sorry, adrenal glad, but we gotta kick you back into power-filled action.
While I reflect on that, I am going to grab a cup of {home-brewed} coffee. LOL JK
