So it is 3am and I just experienced a "checking" OCD moment. I was trying to sleep, thinking about the day as usual, and then I had the constant thought that I didn't sign off my night meds on my clinical shift. I thought and thought and thought about it and then I finally had to call the unit to confirm my obsession. Well it turns out I did sign off my meds, thankfully, because not signing them off it a NO NO in nursing. However I am wondering if this will be a trend. I'm hoping it's just a reminder to make sure to double check my documentation and won't turn into full blown OCD...we'll see. I'll fill you in if I have any more "episodes" :)

Haha I like to think that everyone is a little OCD... I definitely double check I locked my car doors, and sometimes house doors, and if i put the garage door down...
Isn't that the worst? I hate it when you get something in your head that you can't get out until you check. Mark is like that with the gas door on the car. Everytime we fill up he drives about a block, worries that he didn't put the gas cap back on, and pulls over to double check. He's never actually forgotten to put it back on though...
