Randoms...
The nest is back, but now it's almost 5:00 on a Friday evening, so now there's probably no one here. 
My randoms: This Sunday is feral cat trapping day!! Yay!
I love, love, love the new Quaker Stila oat cluster thingies. Cranberry and yogurt? Yum!. Green Apple? Double yum!
I met a man last night during my clinical rotation who truly believes he sees aliens. And he says they're not mean, they try to give him presents. And I was like, "Hmm...okay". Then he said aliens are in control of the government, and he can illuminate when he's in the presence of true love. He said he could tell that I had a pure heart and truly love people, and couldn't I tell that he was glowing green? And that was an awesome final psych clinical to have. lol He was sweet.
After finals next week I have TWO WHOLE WEEKS OFF!!!
Snow!

Re: Randoms...
Aliens baaahahaha!
Good Luck on finals!!!!
aliens? really? I would like to know more about this. What kind of presents do they give to him? How are they in control of the government? What kinds of changes are they trying to make?
I would like 2 weeks off right about now.
We closed on our house today! We (unknowingly) bought my OB's house, so it was super duper fun to meet her husband and "hang out" so to speak. I really think I could totally be friends with her if it weren't for the medical relationship. But I'm thinking about inviting them over after we have some work done so they can see the changes (if they care).
I have written off another friendship. I am kind of sad about it, but I have tried for 2 years to keep the communication open and be active in her life and she has made it crystal clear to me that she has no interest in my friendship, so it was time to just let it go.
That sucks about your friend. I hate it when that happens.
But congrats on the house!
Alien guy said that they offer him money and that they offer to let him "have sex with beautiful women". But taking gifts from aliens is wrong, and that's why he lives in a little apartment instead of a big house--because he doesn't take money from them.
Oh, he also said he could levitate, but he hasn't done it for a few years because it takes a lot of energy and the aliens don't like it. And if he kept talking to us about them, they'd have to come see us and make sure we were okay to talk to. And they look like humans, but they're gray with gold eyes. And he went on their spaceship when he was in high school.
I could have just listened to him talk all night, but I had other patients, too. At least he was happy--he was one of the only ones I had last night who wasn't suicidal or homicidal. Including the 15 year old who trashed the hospital room, told everyone that she was going to kill us and we should burn in Hell, and was eventually restrained for trying to hit the cop. It was a long night. lol

My sister works with people like this. One of her fave stories is during group she had shared that it was Dh and my's 4 year anniversary. The guys got all excited for it, "Oh, wow, that is soooo great! good for them, that is just, wow, that's amazing. I was with my wife for 2 years before I finally killed her."
She was like
Then like
Wow, when you said random, you really meant it. I wonder if the alien seer sees auras for dogs and cats as well? I like to think Gloria would be green, but sometimes, I wonder.
Glad things seem to be going well with school!
Holy crap.
I'll just add that to my list of reasons to avoid psych nursing. lol I think the people who work in that field (nurses, doctors, social workers, etc) are angels--I don't think I could do it.

Anywho - I'm VERY jealous of your two weeks off! If you get bored you're more than welcome to work for me!
Haha, that makes me miss working in mental health. I remember this line from a client like it was yesterday"
"Well the voices in my head keep telling me that I'm Obama but I'm like 'How can I be the president? I can't even read!'"
And it's true, he couldn't. He was illiterate and I love that he made the connection that he'd need to be able to read in order to be the president.
