Guilt Trip cancelled

Aguilera and I were classmates at Grossmont College and we both started  working  almost at the same time as Telemetry Technicians. I came from another campus after I broke off  with  Ayyedis Vahkkendjaab. Aguilera  is new to the acute care setting.

Aguilera is still not familiar with pharmacology terms in the first month so when a nurse called that a patient she is monitoring is getting something she heard like a guilt trip, she thought the patient must be catholic. The patient was actually getting a Diltiazem drip. Diltiazem which is a calcium channel blocker works by relaxing the heart muscles and blood vessels. The medication was going to be administered intravenously on a drip. And the guilt trip is actually a Dilt drip. 

Today being a Sunday and still considering myself a catholic, another term for freewilling and universal agnostic, I am having a guilt drip. 

I am supposed to be riding the Metrolink to LA Union station tonight to catch an Amtrak bus to Bakersfield. From Bakersfield, I would have been riding the train to Modesto and wait for Djeline and Rich to pick me up at Modesto and off we go to Groveland for some fun trip to Yosemite National Park. The trip was something I initiated. 

While watching patients' heart rhythms and oxygen saturations to pay for my fun trip, I am not about to leave RN, my El Capitan of a husband to go looking for the El Capitan in Yosemite. RN must have caught a germ I didn't wash off my clothes at one time. I am staying home for now for my El Capitan.
