Happy Tuesday!
Mine has been mainly full of sleep, due to the fact I worked the last two nights. I am exhausted. Last night, I had potentially the easiest, most stress free night of work that I will ever have on the unit. The reason was due the fact our unit is currently located on 9 Center (we are normally on 5 North) due to maintenance issues, and our census was down to 12 patients for 4 nurses. It was AWESOME. I actually felt like I could give my patients the time and attention they need, and not feeling stretched to my limit, and I could get other things done not related to direct care. It was a breath of fresh air, definitely needed since most of my shifts have been pretty busy the last couple weeks.
Right now, I want to finish decorating for Christmas. I feel pretty on top of my Christmas shopping for people, but the decorations are lacking. We have a few things up around the house but I REALLY want to finish up things. It will be my late night project, since I know I won't be able to fall asleep until at least 4am, and well, it's not like there is much to do at that time of night. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the joy associated with this time of year. One of my favorite things to do is lay by the Christmas tree, all lit up, with the fire going and read a book. There is something about this time of year that allows me to see all of the love that God has infused into my life. I truly feel that God has blessed me with the most supportive and loving family and friends. He reminds me that they will be there, even when I have a tough day or week. And I love celebrating this joyous season with them, never forgetting that ultimately we are celebrating the birth of our Savior.
But it is time to get productive, since I've slept from 9:30am - 4:30pm. And my new running shoes are here! YAY! I think that means I should go get them and break them in. Have a great night! :)
