I have a limited amount of time to post. I just got home from work about an hour ago and I was so exhausted, I ended up running off of adrenaline, which makes it extremely difficult for me to unwind and fall asleep. So what did I do to solve that problem? I'll give you one guess... Benadryl!
This week has been ridiculously hectic for me! I worked last Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, putting in a total of 43 hours. Tuesday night was Tony's day off, so of course I forced myself to stay awake as long as possible to talk to my sweet hubby! Wednesday I went to work again for another 8 hour shift, looking forward to having the following 4 days off. Of course I could never be so lucky. And apparently, luck isn't the only thing I am lacking.. add brains to that list as well. I went to the hospital Thursday evening to pick up my paycheck, even though I have direct deposit.. I was just that bored and desperate for something to do. The charge nurse that night, who happens to be one of my favorites, asked me if I'd like to work 7p-11p and pick up a few extra hours. Knowing that it would be over time for me (and that my manager is so desperate for help she's allowing anyone and everyone as much OT as they want.. until she gets spoken to about it by her boss) I agreed to pick up the hours. I ended up getting there for about 6:30 pm. Our nursing supervisor, somehow, got me to agree to stay until 3am so that the nurses would have atleast 1 tech. As 3am, quietly, rolled near, the ER suddenly began to pick up, delaying my departure until 6am! By the time I got home I wasn't tired at all! I ended up finishing a letter to Tony, wrote in his monthly anniversary card, and also wrote in his 6 Christmas cards. When I completed all of that, I headed to my bedroom knowing that he would be calling me shortly. I sat on my bed and reached for his t-shirt that I had been sleeping with for a while. This t-shirt of his, provided me so much comfort due to the fact it smelled like him. And not because I doused it with his cologne either. It had his natural scent on it.. up until Friday morning. When I didn't find that scent of comfort, I started to panic. Finally, after a week of being in a great mood, I was able to let out a good cry.
I'm going to have to end this here for now! Benadryl is kicking in!!!
