It’s raining, it’s pouring…

Yesterday was  a long day at work.  Sundays are always long-I work 16 hours on Sundays, but yesterday felt even longer.  While it wasn’t necessarily a bad day, there was a lot going on.  For the first 8 hours of the shift, I barely gave myself five minutes to sit and relax.  I had a unexpected discharge to deal with, we were told the discharge would be on Monday-so when the family showed up yesterday things got really confusing and stressful.  I felt unprofessional and even though the family was understanding and extremely nice, I still felt really bad about the situation.  I felt bad for having to call the supervisor on her day off to come in, even though it was just for a few minutes.

From that situation alone, I was pretty tired.  But then there was so many different things that had to be taken care of.  Dinner to serve and clean up.  Dessert to be gotten.  Vacuuming, sweeping…mopping.  Having the mop break.  Having the heater act up.  Paperwork to be filed away properly.  When I finally had a chance to sit back and relax, I just couldn’t.  I felt restless the rest of the night.

Today it has been pouring down rain all day, the type of rain where the only thing you really want to do is curl up and sleep all day.  I slept a few hours, but didn’t feel rested enough.  I forced myself up, in hopes that I would get some things done-but that didn’t happen.  I spent the day in front of the computer.  Reading blogs.  Writing out my life story for a message board.  Trying to think of a good memory to share for tomorrow’s Heads or Tails, and thinking that perhaps I’ll just pull up an old post.  Perhaps revisit one of the Silverchair shows I went to.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a more inspiring day.
