Hey guys ♥️
got back last night from a wknd to Annapolis , one of my favorite towns in USA , and sure I have a story to tell
So . Saturday morning I packed Diego , ( asshole #2), kissed goodbye asshole #1 ( mr Marcello ), got a back pack and my frozen coffee and drove the 4 hrs to Annapolis . I made reservation for the same house I always stay every yr , the historic inns which is basically 3 hotels ( 3 old houses , beautifully preserved ).
The drive was great . I got to sing on top of my lungs in 3 different languages , Diego got potato chips allover my new car ( that’s great , glad he ate something new ) , and I did not pee my pants on the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel . Success
( I hate that mother ! I HATE IT . I drive a tunnel to work every day , but this one is a Bitch ! Two ways traffic tunnel , who thought of that I will like to know . Man , huge trucks coming by and every x I drive to Annapolis the last 14 yrs is like “ I am too young to die , I am too young to die , fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkk”.but ok !
I made it through , no pee drops , but I am sure I got some new gray hair this wknd
So I am checking at the hotel , and they took my car to valet bcz Annapolis simply has no street parking pretty much . The lady at desk told me that my room is at Maryland in , not at the house I normally stay . No problem . Got my key , Diego is still “ dead “ in my purse , no problem ! The little golf cart kinda shuttle took me to the building . I was told that there is no receptionist at that house , and if I need anything I can just call 0 and I ll be connected to the “ governors house / hotel “. Fantastic . I don’t need anything , and I don’t need my car until check out x anyways , in Annapolis , walking everywhere is the norm . So I left my bag in the room , and Diego and I ventured outside immediately pretty much . We went by the water , got drinks , got a bite , talked to strangers , met few ladies ( hilarious ), and I did learned anything u want to know about boats ( like a care ?) by a guy named david . David was at least 15 yrs younger , and about 15 minutes away of getting slapped . Or bitten by Diego . His friends got him back and away from my face 20 long minutes later , and I did not had to be ugly or rude . Thank u Jesus
We did a lot of wonderful walking w Diego , we got to do some minor shopping too , we got back in room and got a nap , and we even got to watch tv . For me , that’s out of the norm , therefore = vacation . I do not have tv in my house . By choice . And at sun down , we strolled out again to have dinner and music . It was great . Annapolis has much to offer on that department , it feels safe , and if u are single and alone , people watching at his best
By 2200 we walked back in the house and got into room . From 0215 to 0500 there was someone pounding at the door of another room . Constantly . No talk , just trying to punch door , and I could hear trying to work w the lock too . It seemed like 2-3 doors down , and u know my captain safety ass wasn’t gonna open the door and check . 3 hrs on and off . So I picked up the phone around 0245 and tried to call the operator at other house as I was told . Phone in my room was dead . 0 . Nada , niente . Ok ! Mean time , I was thinking . If I call 911, what should I say ?
“ I am calling u bcz someone can’t get into their room ?? And can’t open my door and check , and I don’t hear any voices out there at all ? “
Is that worthy to occupy 911? I don’t think so . And did not matter debating self , I soon found out my cell phone was dead . I had no doubt who ever was trying to get in to his room was drunk . Or maybe not his room at all . And also had no desire to check things out . I slept . Kinda . At 0700 we went for walk and breakfast and then Diego moved back into my purse and to his “ I am dead now “ position . Walked at original house to get valet to take me to my car and I wanted to let them know about last night . The receptionist wasn’t listening a word I said . She told me “ y u haven’t called us “.
Bcz the phone in my room was dead ma’am . And so and my cell phone ( left charger in car ).
“ did u opened your door , do u know what room was the noise from ?”
No ! No lady , I did not open my door . Listen I am just telling u , u might wanna check your phones at that building , end , actually a receptionist at all times it might be a great idea . And . Are u ready for this guys ??
She turns to her friend behind the desk , and says to him :
“ do u think it was the ghost “?
Dead serious too.
Then she turned to me and said “ u know , we have a ghost , u probably had an experience “.
And I am thinking , ,,,
do I wanna show my ass and totally absence of class , on a Sunday morning w a hidden tea cup chi in my purse ? Bcz I was one step away of saying “ yeah . And u are about to experience my foot on your ass lady , how about that ? And how dare u , what do u think , m I five yr old to u “? For the ones here that got to know me the last 3 yrs , do I get a medal pls for controlling my temper and mouth ??!!!! Pls ???
But i did not had a chance to say anything , she moved on to say “ so , I am taking 10 dollars off from your booking fee and then another 50 dollars off “.
I guess the price of a night ghost in Annapolis guys is about 60 bucks .
I told her , “ well . I believe I booked the room for 340, u believe I need 60 bucks , and your ghost is so stupid that needs to punch a door for 3 hrs instead of going through it like any other reputable and self respecting ghost . What a sad crowd we are in Annapolis this morning , and the year is 2021 “
And I left . Got into the golf cart / shuttle situation , and the driver asked me how was my stay . I told him it was great , slept 0 next to nothing and apparently I look stupid . He said “ ahhh , u must had an experience”
I am dead inside . That’s all I could come up for that 18 yr old kid , and dead people have no stories , so I zipped lip . The picture was taken by a 71 yr old fabulous local lady who was there w her huge dog . Her dog was 140 lbs , she was about 90 I ll say , and there was no way in hell Diego will come out of my purse . He is 1 . 6 lbs and he thinks he is at least 200. Spare me the drama ♥️
Overall it was a good wknd , I missed u all and I read as much as I can from all of u here . While ER is business as usual , I got an email Sunday that covid numbers rising again at Census , and administration is asking me again if I can assembly a team just in case . Quiet honestly guys I haven’t answer yet and I am not sure I can do this again . These is the first 2 months that I got to see my house , catch up w paperwork and affairs and professional development , first two months that I got out of my house without scrubs , and still hunted by covid ghosts , 17 months of stories and faces and people and their relatives , and budget and coworkers and all type of bullshit . On a personal note , I have struggled a great deal , nothing good to tell u , and that’s y I kept my mouth shut . Boy was I a fool 14 yrs ago , to believe that my divorce was the most stressful thing that happen to me . Nah . That shit was nothing . Try giving medications to sick people who trust your knowledge , sick and afraid people , and watch the blue codes happening one after another . I don’t think I can go back to manage covid again , and I have no balls to ask my team either . Everyone feels defeated by stupidity , my state did not do great w vaccinations . I am gonna think about this hard and decide in few days , watch the numbers at hospital , and of course , get consultation by my personal ghost ( fuck the Annapolis loser one ), “ what dad will had say “. Will see . The rest of pics is from a card I received last week at hospital . This is the 13th quarter so far , 3 was given to me by the patients in person , and rest was drop off the last 17 months for me w cards . To my very sick patients that were doubting recovery and were anxious and giving up , my line was always “ listen . I bet u a quarter . U gonna f make it , and u gonna come back here w hair and make up ( or pants if men ), and u better find me and pay back !! U gonna make it , and I am gonna make my 25 cent . I have bills to pay people “.
This one I remember very well , she was a semiretired nurse of another hospital , over 60, a religious lady , very afraid and very sick . We worked on her lungs day by day for near 3 weeks , and she was discharged on a day that I took off . I took this card and this coin w me in Annapolis and at dinner , and I felt no loneliness and no despair . Some x , love and appreciation comes without balls or vaginas and romance . Some x , u can sit on a bar w a primadona tiny dog and the love of humans who do not even know u that well , and it feels alright . The end ,
Bcz this is too long and got a million shit to do b4 work tonight . I miss u all and I ll try to do better been present here . Be healthy , happy Monday guys ♥️
