Was today typical?
Today was indeed a typical day. As usual, I dragged my sorry, tired ass out of bed at 0400. After 10 1/2 years of starting work at 0600, it’s still difficult getting up at that time. Sometimes I even have the Dolly Parton 9-5 song in my head to soften the blow. I always make sure to shift into a positive mindset with early morning prayers and affirmations when I wake up. It makes the day so much better. Sprinkle in a cup of coffee and a shower and I was out the door at 0512 arriving at the hospital at 0544. Sometimes I start at 0530, sometimes 0600. Today my shift started at 0600. All was fine until the schedule changed in one of the ORs I was preparing patients for and at the same time another one of my patients had just a sour, argumentative attitude. So I ran around for a bit until things calmed down and the rest of my shift was fine. After arriving home at 1620, I got dinner started. I tried a new recipe I found on Instagram; breakfast sliders. I served them with sweet potato tater tots and a yogurt parfait. Everyone is home and we had a nice dinner. Another shower and here I am writing this. In eight hours it starts all over again. Typical is fine.
