Well. This seems like a good place to start…

If you’re reading this, I guess you already know… I’m a night shift ER nurse. I decided to try this blogging thing, though I don’t know much about it except I can write out what I think about things and post it. I don’t know nor do I really care if anyone really reads this… I just wanted an outlet to vent frustrations, celebrate victories, and simply share my journey.

If you do happen to be reading this, heads up… I’m a potty mouth and I have A LOT of opinions. Some of the things I post may be dark or gruesome, while others will be humorous. This isn’t for people to judge. I am what I am and commenting shitty things won’t change that. So if you don’t like what you read, move along and read something else.

To kick off my first post, I just wanted to give some insight into me. I work at a relatively small, county hospital. I have been there for almost 3 years and have been in the ED for 2 of those years. I’m still a baby nurse, learning the ways of the healthcare world. I’ll say it now and probably 1,000 more times… despite my irritation at times, I genuinely LOVE my job.

I’m in a relationship with a mechanic and we’ve been together for 3.5 years. For the sake of keeping things semi-private, I’ll just refer to him as D. He drives me crazy most days, but he’s my person and I absolutely adore him. We have no children and are keeping it that way; though, we do have a godson who we love so very much. We have two spoiled rotten dogs and a cranky old horse- they constitute as our children.

I am originally from Indiana. I moved to Tennessee to be with D after doing 9 months of long-distance dating. It was horrible. I don’t recommend it. Even though me and D are very independent people, who are far from needy, distance fucking sucks. It still amazes me that we were able to do it for nine months that we did.

That is a very brief synopsis of my life to this point. The more I post, the more you’ll get to know me. But for now, that’s all you really need to know. If you’re reading this, thanks for taking the time.
