And it flows

Today wasn't a particularly bad day. I went shopping this afternoon, after my three morning classes. Spent $53 (would have been $70 more if I had bought Mario Party 4 on impulse) on very little stuff. My electric shaver died yesterday, so I had to buy razors. $20 later for a Mach 3 Turbo +razors and I was set... to cut my face up. It's been forever since I've shaved with a razor, and I'm out of practice.

I visited my girlfriend for the last 30 minutes of my break. Things were good, we sat around for a while. Kay, it kinda sucked, but I showed up with a good mood and I left with a good mood. Came back to school, sat through my hour of Chem. Saw my latest quiz result: 6 of 18. Dammit >_<

I went back to the hospital after my class and took my babe out for dinner. Well, she paid, so I guess she took me out. However, she was stressed out from the nurses at the hospital being complete dumbasses. Attempting to give her her meds well before the allowed time; telling her she had a limited amount of time before she had to be back in the hospital, etc. But we made the best of our time out.

We ate Subway on the beach, then drove over to (Arg, just got off the phone with her. The nurses fscked up again) Future Shop and bought 50 blank CDs. I drooled over all the computer/game stuff I want and Mel decided I'm not allowed in the store again. From there we went to Wal-Mart and looked at the CDs she wants. Then to various stores around the mall. I found a Spiderman shirt in the kids section, Regular $14.99, sale $9.99 and today's sale of 30% off all sale items. It came out to $7.50, but my debit card wouldn't work, so Mel paid for it. I owe her.

We went back to Walmart, bought Snakes and Ladders, then headed back to the hospital. The damned nurse she had for the night tried giving her her meds two hours early, which is a big no-no. That'll bring her to toxic levels. The nurse said she'd come back later. Another nurse came in to do the routine morning/night check-up on how she's feeling. I always get kicked out of the room at this time, and I hate not knowing what's going on. I came back, she was quiet again. All the dumbass nurses were weighing her down and she was getting stressed by it. She snapped at me, and I replied sarcastically. We both apologized, then laid there for a while.

Mel couldn't take it anymore, and she sent me home. So I went to a friend's house just one minute down the street, waiting for her call. She called me back, then told me she was frustrated with the hospital and not me.

She just called a few minutes ago and said that the nurse who gave her her meds tonight screwed up again. She didn't get the toby tonight, the nurses all swear she did. So the supervising nurse is going to have an earful tomorrow.

-Shit hits the fan, and I'm feeling it

M-M-M-Monster Stress-ess-ess

Big fight with the girlfriend two nights ago. Made it up last night (in the hospital where she's been for the last week, and will be for the next two).

I had a chem quiz last Friday. I felt I did really good on it. I thought it was out of 14, and I thought I scored at least 12. I just checked my grade, it says 6/18 so GOD DAMMIT.
