My first post

This is always the most difficult thing about starting a blog, whether it be myspace, facebook, whatever...the first entry. I know that I need to get it started but really don't have anything brilliant or remarkable to post about. But, hey, you gotta start somewhere, right?

It's 2216 on a Wednesday night in triage. Thrilling. Not like I want to be running my butt off, but I definitely need the patients to keep comin' so we all retain our jobs! Kind of bittersweet. Yeah, boring.

Let's see...something more interesting...I've decided that my stress level is starting to get out of control and I'm probably heading toward some sort of mental breakdown. I've started eating healthier and fully intend to start exercising in hopes that this will help. I've recently talked to one of my friends who has confided in me that she has been suffering from depression for the last couple years. She described her symptoms pre-medication and they really sound a lot like what I experience. She thinks the meds have helped her, although the dosage keeps needing to be increased in order to keep her "normal". I do not want to go on medications, and I really don't think that's the answer for me anyway. I feel like it's more a matter of me taking more time for myself, especially when I'm having an especially "bitchy" day. Bobby thinks I have a lot of issues that I've never really delt with and I just keep adding more and more on to my mind and it's finally showing itself. Sounds good.

So, I guess I'll just take this one day at a time. I really want this to be a good year and I think I just need to make some life changes that will support that.
