Evy's answers to Christina's May five questions.
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/~christina/
1. What's on your bedside table?
It's a bookcase. Sometimes it's the floor too. There's
an alarm clock. There's a lamp, a platter with random
stuff on it, my glasses, my phone, some sleeping clothes
near the bed, and some kind of grease. Tissues maybe,
although sometimes a tissue is just an old sock.
2. Five items you "can't" live without.
- If I have to do things far away from my family and
friends, my phone. If I'm near my family and friends,
then I don't need the phone a lot.
- A nice coffee mug.
- Clothes or a nice blanket to cover me up. It's kind
of chilly sometimes.
- A fork.
- A stove of some type.
3. What are some words or phrases specific to where you live?
Where I live or where I grew up? People say "Ope!" when
they run into someone. I haven't really traveled very
much, so I'm not sure what's regional specific.
Mamaw. Working people. Pop, soda pop. Trash.
4. What are your healthiest habits?
Probably eat more vegetables and other produce than the
average Kentuckian, although that doesn't say a lot.
I try to go outside every day. I think I deal with
stress in a pretty healthy way? I haven't overdosed in
years, soooo...
5. What are the rewarding aspects of your job?
I like it when I can help someone who appreciates my
help. I especially like working with life-long chronic-
ally ill people, because their tolerance of pain is high
and their sense of self doesn't seem to be so threatened
by getting help with activities of daily living. The
newly super-ill sometimes take it out on you.
I like getting out of work in the morning and seeing the
sunrise throughout the street. That's very rewarding.
Ooo! And I love it when I get to draw blood on somebody
with really nice veins! Like a 30-year old who's not
chronically ill so hasn't been torn up by being drawn a
lot -- and who isn't an IV drug user. (:
