Working Nights

Today was my weekly 24 hour day, that is 24 hours of awakeness. I had a busy and I must say fufilling day at home painting, grouting, washing, gardening and doing the dishes. I saw my friend Sarah and her two precious boys. Ollie is very shy but seems to be warming to me, he nearly dribbled all over me which seems like a good sign. I started my week of nights with a really nice long term patient. Its great being able to communicate with patients sometimes. I read a whole book on shift tonight. Was the first time I've ever done that. Once I read Angels and Demons in two nights. I had a sleep for an hour which helped me feel a million times better. Its amazing how comfortable an old chair in a store room can be at 4am.
