Tomorrow, Tomorrow...

I'm so excited, yet pretty darn nervous at the same time. I'm so in love with the idea of having this tattoo, but I'm anxious to see what design Apryl has come up with. What if I don't like it?! I have to love it in order to place it on my body. I want this beautiful piece of art so badly. It will mean so very much to me, but it has to be exactly right. I'm so eager to see what tomorrow brings! My appointment is at 1:00 and will likely take 6+ hours (I've made a mental decision to get it all done at once). Afterwards we're headed to our friends Robin and Jake's place for a Mexican Fiesta!

HUBS BIRTHDAY!

Yup. Today Mr. Oprie turns 25. He's a quarter century old, folks!

Last night, for birthday dinner, this wife made swordfish. Aww yeeeeah. I'm told it was really good, too! Success! Then, I made his favorite cake for the big day. The cake was a big ego boost for me because it came out of the pan perfectly!

Spice Cake

Best wife award? Maybe?

If I Had To Guess...

...I'd say your weekend was far superior to mine.

Womp, womp.

Work sucked HARD, yo. At least it got progressively better with each day...I guess???

Friday--Hell
Saturday--Purgatory
Sunday--regular ol' hellish work day

The plus side: it's done, over, finished (until Wednesday, that is). Also, I got paid. Psh, that hardly makes up for it. I should get paid triple time for the hours I put in this weekend.

I won't bore you with the details, but if you were wondering whether two of my patients required sitters for suicide watch, one required manual catheter irrigation every couple hours and one of the crazies (I apologize for lack of better convenient term) necessitated a police escort at discharge...I will assure you all that was, indeed, a part of my splendid weekend.

I cried a lot and I vented to Phill with lots of, ahem, choice language. But seriously, no pity party for this girl AT ALL. I'm proud of myself. I really accomplished a lot this weekend that went WAY above and beyond my regular call of duty. So, go ahead, Alyssa.

PAT YOSELF ON THE BACK!

**Friday = Tattoo Day!
