There's a really cool... by cool, I mean big thunderboomers... weather systen sitting and spinning just southwest of here. And we're getting partly cloudy, dammit. Looks like Mom down in Enid is getting a bunch of weather, though. As I had feared, I had a helluva time getting to sleep last night, it was at least 01:00, and even then I woke up frequently throughout the night. I got up after hitting the snoozebar for a half-hour, and then I was pretty much OK. Today was a fun day at work... as I had mentioned, we're a tech short... and we had lots of inpatients today, added to a full outpatient schedule, and then we had several time-eating ER patients. I ended the day with two very tired legs, but I did get to leave on time. Today was Lucky's unlucky day. Lucky is our littlest cat, and she has now been neutered and de-clawed. And right now she is staggering drunk. Kinda funny, but more pitiful, poor little thing. I'm on call tonight, but I'm not too worried. And I'm on call again Thursday night, which gives me five in a row, but a weekenight is generally no big deal, we've got people on third then who do CTs. It's the Friday/Saturday/Sunday period that's not covered. And I did have a friend offer to take call one of those nights, and I think that I'll let her do that... she likes the money and needs the experience. I haven't been doing well on my BS testing lately, I keep forgetting to do that in the morning after I shower, I always just want to eat, dammit, not poke myself. So I just poked myself, and I was not really happy with the results - 132. Karen fixed turkey pot pies for supper, about 50 carbs there, and then I had a pretty big piece of bread, which probably put me over. And also today... well, I ate some cookies. Irish shamrock cookies... sugar cookies. I ate about ten of them, I have to confess. And yes, they were gooooood! However, all in all, I didn't do too badly today, since I ate a practically carbless lunch, as always, a big salad. And I still feel that I'm losing weight almost daily. but I still haven't started exercising yet, dammit. Tomorrow... yep, tomorrow. In the Mail: On the shelf:
