Thanking the above for a day on call

There is occasionally times in my job were if there is not enough patients for the number of nurses scheduled you get to sit home waiting for a patient to come in. It seems rarely that they do and you get a bonus day off. Since I live exactly 1 min too far away from the allotted time to come in if they call I cannot go a mile north but I can go south if I so choose. Most of the time I sit here in the house. A great excuse to get the house chores done for you can't really leave and its just plain boring otherwise. So here I sit.

This past weekend I worked the night shift again. It was so nice. We have a little baby in the isolette over the weekend, not really sick, just couldnt control his temperature, So I got to sit with a good book in the nursery and watch him while my labor pt did nothing. I hate that. Go home then man.

Between working on my weekends I do try to get some sleep in there once and a good while. This weekend it seemed all I wanted to do was sleep. It seems that nausea kept creeping over me and that my head cold was getting worse. Every one keeps saying that I'm pregnant. I don't think so. You know those instincts that some mothers say they have that they just KNOW when they are pregnant- yeah I'm having the opposite of that. I'm thinking its not happening this month. I can't test till the end of the week but I'm pretty sure this illness is just me being sick.

So with my day on call in place, I slept in for way too long, I really should get on to the laundry. Making meatloaf for supper tonight.

I think i might go bust out the christmas decorations. I heart christmas decorations. Like Crazy.
