stupid day

Another day

Another Chaffle 

I’m adding an excursion 

To my summer trip. 

An overnight river raft trip

In the Grand Canyon 

Is often in the thousands. 

Big Bucks. 

🤑

The Upper Colorado River

Excursions are much less. 

Maybe permits and fees? 

So in addition to a few

Mini-excursions, hiking etc- 

I have added a 2 night raft trip. 

I’m really too old

For Pediatric Search and Rescue-

Trying to find some bright little kid

Who remains trapped in a body

That won’t cooperate with his mind ... 

Some Good Will Hunting

Story of triumph and winning. 

The truth is- most people 

Just don’t come through tragedy

And come out on top. 

It’s hard enough to get though each day. 

This kid was fussing today 

when my shift started at 6 am. 

He was covered with 3 blankets. 

And it’s mild weather outside. 

I’ve got the window cracked! 

Birds are singing. 

No rain. 

Why 3 blankets? 

Also the thermometer was under his arm. 

Life is hard enough without having

Bad Nurses - HORRIBLE Nurses. 

I am ready to give up. Again. 

So I focus on work and getting away. 

The only thought I’ve had 

For a year is trying to figure out

If I should stay or go 

In this anxiety provoking, 

All-consuming case. 

I just want to go to work, 

Do a good job, 

And go the fuck home.
