EXHAUSTION

I'm exhausted..

Too exhausted to tink straight..

I can't talk, I can't walk, I can't sleep..

I son't understand how people may actually do ER BY CHOICE!

One day your shift starts at 08:00, the other it starts at 16:00, the next it starts at 00:00!! I call it social suicide.. I haven't seen my mom for a week, let alone my friends..

That is, until last Thursday.. I was asleep, and my phone started ringing uncontrollably.. It's like it got a seziure or something..
I kept on silenscing it, not having enough energy to turn it off.. 15 calls later I HAD to answer..
It was Oli, saying that Sara, Rash and herself were in Zee Noodle,and they wanted me to join'em.. I gave her my usual line in my usual sleepy voice:
"yeah ok, I'll try, really, I'll do my best, I have to take a shower and get dressed, it'll take some time.." to which she knows the translation: "I"M NOT COMING"..

She hang up.. 10 minutes later the same calling frenzy reoccured.. I HAD to answer once again..
It was Sara.. "Hey G, umm, we're by your door, can you buzz us in?!"

"WTF? loooooooool, yeah sure.."

You know when you stand up from bed too quickly you get a head rush? I was dressing up on the go, jumping on one leg to pull up the bermuda.. I buzzed them in, 20 seconds later they were at my door, smiling ridiculously.. And that's when I knew, tonight was going to be exotically exhausting..

Rash was holding her Karaoke apparatus, and I live in a small apartment, and I have neighboors, that until last Thursday never knew I existed lol..

We hooked it, and, ofcourse, Sara was set on auto-log on..

By midnight.. Oli had to leave, it was late, she never stayed past 11, 11:30 max.. so 12 in my home was an honor! lol

They left, and I was getting ready to go back to sleep in the same outfit, and then, not surprisingly, my phone started convulsing again..

It was Oli "Hey G, we're downstairs, waiting for you.."
"HUH? why? did you forget something?"
Oli:"lol, no, we're gonna watch a movie at my house, join us.."
"crap, ok.."

I was literally incapable of saying no that night..

I put on my Abaya, grabbed my keys, cigs, and down I went.. Not until I reached Oli's house did I realise I wasn't wearing a scarf LOL

We watched "The Prestige", which I saw in Italy in Jannuary.. and about 3 or 4 times since then.. I can't get enough of it.. so many twist, my kind of movie..

By 3:00 am.. I suggested we go to the beach.. loool I was kidding, but I saw some consideration in their eyes.. If I insisted a little bit more I swear we ould've done it..

The problem is, I had a day shift on Friday, that starts at 8.. I was going to either die or kill a patient if I didn't sleep the rest of the night..

I didn't sleep.. I didn't die, and thank god, I didn't kill a patient..
