Bullet Your Day

I did this once before on a blog challenge.  Decided to do it again.  For starters, just to keep you in the know, I set up a swap at work so I could have a day off in the future for an important birthday party.

  • Wake up to alarm at 4:30 - after going to bed at about midnight.
  • Get out of bed
  • Put makeup on
  • Get dressed
  • Did hair
  • Brushed teeth
  • Kissed Ted goodbye
  • Read my text messages that were waiting for me
  • Replied to one text
  • Got in my car to drive to airport
  • Talked to BFF on the phone
  • Stopped at McDonalds for breakfast
  • Continued driving to airport, parked my car, got on bus to ride to terminal
  • Clocked in to work Emily's shift
  • Saw Marsan and her daughter in the bathroom.  Hugged her and chatted a bit.
  • Worked first flight
  • Ate some Easter breakfast with the other people working in the concourse that I have only worked in a couple of times and don't know hardly any of the people.  Need to get to know Candace better - she is freaking hysterical!!!
  • Worked flights two and then three
  • Clocked out
  • Picked up lunch at Greek Souvlaki and walked to my usual concourse and enjoyed lunch with my usual peeps on the day shift
  • Clocked back in to begin working for Maria for two hours
  • Worked flight four
  • Started working my own shift
  • Worked flight five
  • Saw my friend Patti at the airport.  She and I hugged and chatted for a bit at my gate before she had to leave and get on a plane.  She got first class - lucky girl!!
  • Had my lunch/dinner break.  Got Smash Burger.  I have now eaten nothing but fast food and junk all the day.
  • Worked flight six
  • Scanned boarding passes for a late arriving aircraft for passengers that missed their connections.  Hugged a cute girl who had just left her boyfriend and now had to wait another night before making it home.
  • Worked flight seven
  • Sat in the break room until time to go home
  • Waited at the bus stop
  • Realized I forgot to clock out, had to walk all the way back to the break room to clock out.  Clocked out and chatted with Jimmy for a bit.
  • Walked back out to the bus stop and rode the bus to the parking lot.
  • Drove home - exhausted.
  • Made it home safe and sound.  Had to unwind on the couch before heading to bed - oh yeah, and to write it all down on this blog post.
By the numbers:

  1. 16 hours 30 minutes from the beginning to the end at the airport
  2. 4 hours 15 minutes of sleep
  3. 3 different employees shifts covered, including my own
  4. 2 feet, 2 ankles, 2 knees all in painful and tired condition
  5. 11,571 steps recorded on my FitBit
  6. 2,646 calories burned
  7. 3 fast food meals eaten - Probably well over the number calories burned above
  8. 7 flights worked
  9. Approximately 975 passengers boarded on those flights

Happy Easter.

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...

CoCo's Journey - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

  Well, the day has come and gone.  I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face.  It was a horrible experience.  I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me.  But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube.  I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube.  What is an NJ tube?  It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal.  The jejunal is in the small intestine.  The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube.  But, apparently, it's the best choice for me.   So let's talk about the actual procedure.  I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!!  And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...
