I’m glad I’m so busy with work because I hate almost every minute I spend online these days. Feels like everything has gone to shit and it’s all AI slop or the most hideously hateful takes imaginable.

Had a lot to drink at the work Xmas party last night — wine, strong cocktails, vodka, cider — but have surprisingly woken up completely hangover-free today.

I used to get the most horrific two-day hangovers in my teens & twenties and barely drink anymore, so no idea how I got so lucky this time.

I’m on night shifts with my work crush this week 😏

I’ve still been spending time on twitter despite not really posting for months, because it felt like there were still a lot of good people there. But the level of toxicity and hatred, particularly over the last couple of days, has become genuinely frightening and I honestly think I’m done.

Whoops, I haven’t posted on here for a long time. I’m finally a real nurse now and while I’m extremely tired all the time, I’m also very happy. So I think I’m thriving 🥰

How is everyone else?

And this is only made all the more stressful by my probably needing to get at least 85% on it to avoid failing the class, missing out on graduation, and losing the dream grad program that I’d already been offered. No pressure 🙃
I’m working on a research proposal, which is pretty difficult when it’s a study I won’t actually be conducting and I have no idea about the entire process.

Who do I imagine will be helping me? How do I calculate the in-kind expenses? How do I know how long the qualitative analysis might take? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can’t wait until I graduate.

I’m so sick of being “on” 24/7, constantly stressing about all the work and assignments that need to be done. I feel so burnt out. I just want to go to work, do my job, then come home and have no obligations until my next shift.

This is the first time in a couple of months that I haven’t had an assignment deadline looming over me and it feels BLOODY GOOD

I think they’re best conceptualised as ‘momentum meds’. Whatever you’re doing when they kick in, they just make you more likely to keep on doing that. If that’s important work, awesome. If it’s napping or scrolling social media, not so helpful.
A funny thing about adhd meds is that if I take them at work, I can power through a 12-hour shift without feeling slightly tired, but if I take them at home right before a nap, assuming that I’ll wake up more energised and be able to get some stuff done… nope, I just want to keep sleeping all day 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m supposed to be working on my lit review that’s due tomorrow, but I have absolutely zero enthusiasm for it 😔

I’m in the hospital food court and they’re having a book sale right near me. I really, really do not need to add any more books to my huge “to-read” pile, but it’s taking all of my willpower not to go look anyway 😅

I didn’t post here yet that I got the nursing grad job that I desperately wanted 🎉 Now I can’t wait to finally finish studying and work for real (and get money)

I survived a stressful job interview on Monday and a super important test yesterday, managed to develop a research topic today, and smashed out a tonne of homework. Now I only have to make it through a four-hour simulation workshop tomorrow and then I can relax.

I’ve been stressing about having to sort out my preferences from 13 different nursing specialties for grad year, but today I finally got it done. It’s so difficult to choose when I’ve never had placements in any of those areas. How do I know what I might like??

Had to double the dose of one of my meds, but at least now I can giggle childishly every morning.
