Ahhhh, it was a good enough day, I guess. Nothing to write home about. I stayed awake and upright all day. I warned my co-workers that if I went missing to not worry, I was in the toilet... but I did pretty good there, too, managing to actually be at work and working most of the day. I was really having my doubts earlier in the day, though. Still feel pretty wrung-out, but not as bad as I expected. I'm on back-up call tonight, one of the evening techs is taking call and I'm covering until he gets off at 23:00. So what happens? I get called 30 minutes after I get home, and I spend another coupla hours at the hospital. I got the last space in the ED parking lot... the ED was full to overflowing... busy place tonight. And it was another beautiful fall day, just perfect, about 75F for a high, no wind... yesterday it was hellaciously windy, took care of the rest of the leaves on the trees... now they all need raking up or mowing or something. I'll put it on my list. Somewhere near the top. So... October's gone, November is here... damn, things are just moving way too fast. Is it gonna just keep accelerating until I die? Is that the way it works? It just ain't fair, I tell ya... it just ain't fair.
