Good Today

I was good today. YES YES YES!

Every now and then I become very good like this. :-)) I guess this is better and healthier than being good everyday-just imagine, what if I was good everyday? Eeeeek.

My best friend called early in the morning. I was unable to help her but her kids waving from behind her, wanting to talk to me was enough to warm my heart. And when I went to work, the 7 year old kid on bed 6 greeted me with a cheerful cry and hug and a kiss.

My shift partner was very nice and shared work very happily, rather than waiting for me to do all the work like many others. So we had some time to enjoy a chat, with a few other colleagues from the cath dept. All who I like.

Wait a minute. I started saying I was good and so far, it has been others who were good.

I became good after midday-errr 1 O clock rather, since I got a little mad over the nurses who didn't monitor their patients properly. When I think back I feel a little bad about this but we wanted hourly urine output in that patient with renal failure and the hourly IC drainage in the patient on heparin. They had not measured it in 4 hours and 2 hours respectively, so I think I have a, a, a, RIGHT to be angry. Anyway, I didn't scold them; I couldn't because they are my friends. I feel bad about asking them not to do it again and mentioning that I have told this before. But then, it's better for them to get it from me rather than being scolded by somebody else.

At 1 o'clock, I went to the general theater to get some information for my consultant, who is a very nice, dedicated, mother-like lady. I felt good because I could do something for her. Do something; well; not really because they couldn't give the information I needed right away; I will have to go on another day. Still.

Then I went to get a passport application form-something I've been postponing for several months. This is significant because
a)My brother promised to get one three days back but didn't.
b)I walked there and back-half an hour.
c)I liked the place-it's a collection of offices, banks, book shops and a food court, in addition to the passport office.


Then I refuelled the car; not a big issue, I know, but I'm really really lazy to drive to a pumping station and usually wait till the tank is empty, I'm stuck in a traffic jam with tank empty signal blinking, and I'm late to work.

When I came home, the online community I visit so often and waste hours on was down for maintenance so I ended up not wasting time. It's difficult to explain how this could be interpreted as me being good but somehow I perceive it as such.

Since I had nothing else to do, I thought I'll read my text book and prepare for weekend class. I actually turned the pages and read three sentences.

Then I thought I'll visit the counselling center tomorrow for my study on it and decided to search the web for details, so that I know something when I interview them. Their website was quite informative that I decided to start writing the project and visit them on a later date to collect additional information. Then I stopped reading the details and just downloaded it all.

And I feel so happy today.
