So... after eighteen hours of sleep I should be prepared for anything, right?
Wrong!
I wasn't prepared for ten hours of boredom. Not a micromilligram of adreneline to be found.
So I had a lot of trouble staying awake.
I only did two patients from the ED, and I only had three patients in the unit to do chest films on. So I filed, and goofed off, and did other paperwork, and wandered around.
And smoked. And wandered around, trying to keep awake. And I did, just barely.
Speaking of smoking, I have cut down a lot since moving the computer back upstairs. I don't allow me to smoke up here, I have to go outside to smoke. Or back down to the basement, which I haven't done yet.
Last night was a beautiful, beautiful night. Cool, a very slight little vaiable breeze, about 50F again. Gotta love it. Soon, the ducks and geese will be migrating. There is nothing neater than being outside when a flock of geese come over honking in the middle of the night; such a lonely,
winsome sound... makes you so glad to be alive and yet points out that you are O so mortal...
Not that I need the reminder, but there are a lot of people who do.
I'm reminded of my mortality every time my heart beats. But it doesn't bother me any more; it used to a lot.
Nobody wants to die... and nobody wants to get old. People are so damned hard to please. I'm glad that I'm not in charge of that.
Once again, I'm very tired. I keep thinking that since I had so much sleep and I'm still so tired that I must be getting sick... but I'm not. I feel just fine... I just want to sleep. Lotsa people being sick around here lately, though, at work I mean. Well, the workers, not just the patients. Patients are supposed to be sick, so that we can get them better. We can't make a profit otherwise. Not that we want anyone to be sick, you understand... I lost my train of thought there. O'well, I've lost more important stuff in my life...
I just hate it when I do that. I mean in real life... here, I could just delete it and nobody would know. But if I did that, I'd have to find something that makes sense to fill in the space and that's not likely to happen. But if it did happen, you'd never find out about it. For all you know, it happens on a daily basis...
Tomorrow.....
