94. say a little prayer

today was the kind of day where i just got to hand it to the man above. the LORD, if you will. no, but really. i'm exhausted at 12:35 AM at the end of the day, and i know i gave everything to the things i did. i feel fulfilled.

i just can't stop thinking of lydia, though. the one woman i work with. she just made such a strong impression on me today.

and i damn well impressed myself today too. i improvised three different characters "in the patient gown" (i wasn't wearing a gown but let's just call it that) for someone who came into the clinic for his shoulder. one 75 year old farmworker, one 30 year old professional skate boarder, and one 54 year old surgeon. i damn impressed myself with my ability to just... do it. improvisation is second nature now. i do have notes for myself as to where i wonder how i could have done differently, but i just want to relish how baller it felt to just know my growth in that moment.

i feel tired, but on drive mode. i feel good. i feel grateful. i feel like sending a prayer. it's the kind of day where you're just glad to be you, living you, no matter what. i'm grateful.
