OK, I'm sore!

So I woke up today with the SORE-EST shins!!! This could be from 1 of 2 reasons: 

1. I ran on a treadmill for the first time yesterday. I've gotten in the habit of the eliptical cause it burns  calories quicker but I've really been missing running so yesterday I ran 2 miles for the first time in a very very long time. It felt GREAT!!! I really miss running and can't wait for spring to be able to run outside on Kelly Drive (hopefully the weather is nice enough for us to get a run in on Kelly Drive while you guys are here cause its a great road to run on!)

2. Hiding in a box. Ok, so this one may take a little background information. At work we have a Child Life office that all the Child Life Specialist share. However, this office is on the 8th floor and the Emergency Room is on the first floor so we never had a chance to get up there (especially with how busy the ER is all the time) so the ER child life specialists were given a "touch down space" in the ER. This consists of one desk and one computer that the 7 of us share that just happens to be in a med room. Nice? very. Strange? very. This same med room is also where the "ER supply" guys desk is - basically the guys who are in charge of ordering EVERYTHING that the ER needs (cot mattresses, ortho supplies, etc). As a result there are always lots of boxes in our little "office". So on Wednesday we had this horrible patient (17yo) who came in drugged and flipped out on staff - hitting, punching, spitting, etc. After they sedated him (had to for their safety) staff was all pissed and shook up about this. Emily thought, "huh... something needs to be done to lighten the mood of this place". As a side note, the ER is ALWAYS joking around - 'scrubs' has nothing on the jokes, etc that we make/play on one another at work - its how we cope with the shitty stuff we see everyday. So there just so happen to be a very large box (empty in the med room at this time). So I thought, "Huh I bet I could fit in that box and jump out when Dana (one of the techs Im friends with) walks in". So I went ahead and climbed in the box... and when she walked in I jumped out and screamed. HILARIOUS. However, then this turned into people wanting me to scare everyone individually so everyone kept telling me to stay in the box and would individually walky (we wear walkie talkies) person by person to come into the med room.  So for about an hour Wednesday and AGAIN yesterday I was in a box crouched in a pitchers position awaiting people to come into the med room to scare... probably one of the funniest weeks at work - never seen so many people about to piss their pants!!!! One of my nurse friends literally fell onto the ground , got up, and screamed "what the fuck is wrong with you!" at me. Then it became a huge story with patients... I was walking down the hall and a nurse was telling a patient, "so this girl has been hiding in a box in our med room for an hour scaring everyone who walks in..." However, my legs are killing me from crouching in the box waiting for people!!!! I couldn't rest on my knees cause I wouldn't be able to pop up quick enough =) So.. long story short.. how sad is it that Im sore from freaking hiding in a box?!?!?!?! But yes, oh so completely sore!!! But hilarious all at the same time!!  I really do love my job! hahahaha

ANyway, this has probably been the most pointless post Ive made to date... but hopefully it made you laugh a bit, picturing me at work hiding in a box. 

Can't wait to see you in 27days!!!!!! Happy weekend!!!
