Today was quite a mentally exhausting day. Working at a psychiatric hospital, you eventually learn not to take the problems home with you. And overall, I’ve done a pretty good job of leaving work at work. However, there are certain days that are just hard not to take home with you. One of the most [...]

It’s been a nice, quiet Sunday…exactly what I needed. Today has mostly consisted of laying in bed reading a book, filming a mock counseling session for clinic, and starting a diet. I’ve found that if you find the right food, eating healthy isn’t so bad. And crystal light is the only thing saving from soft [...]

I’d like to make this short and sweet since I should be sleeping, but I know it’s not going to be.
I have to wake up once again at 6:30 tomorrow morning for a 14 hour shift…so chances are there won’t be any blogging tomorrow night.
After a long but rewarding work day, we decided to go [...]
