Night Shift

I successfully stayed awake all night... That's about the only good thing about my night. It is a very different pace.... I think I much prefer the fast pace of day shift... Maybe because I always have to be doing something... If there's nothing to do, I make something to do....

The other nurses told me it was a slow night for them and it usually isn't that slow... And, I suppose I cannot judge a whole shift on one night.....

But, overall, if I were grading my experience I would give it a "D." I hope it gets better - or I adapt because I'm stuck on night shift for an undetermined amount of time... until a spot comes open on days....and there are many in front of me - seniority wise - who will scoop the daylight shifts up quickly before I have a shot.

So, my goal is to make the best of it....

I had a hard time sleeping when I got home... Even though I was exhausted, I couldn't really fall asleep until about 10am... But, then I slept right through the day until about 3pm.

On an unrelated note, I'm excited about a new purchase we made: A COUCH!! If you've been to our house, you know we were in need of one - badly... The one we had was so uncomfortable...and old... But we didn't want to buy one with little kidd-os around beating it up... Now that they are older, somewhat, we thought it time to get a new one... It is so comfy -- and we bought a matching chair and ottoman. It will look like we have a regular living room suit! It comes next week... I can't wait!

Here is a picture of it. It is a light, sage green color.
