Great when you can pick and choose. You deserve the time off. I am amazed when you can work those 12 hr shifts in the first place.

Yep...I would be right at home with Bob Evans, Steak and Shake, etc. I remember flying into Memphis from Alaska. It was like this wall of hot, humid air that would hit you when you got off the plane. Aghhhhhhhh. Then it was on up to Huntington to see Mother and Daddy.

I hope you have an AWESOME, restful weekend doing all kinds of things you want to do and enjoy doing! Have a nice, long soak in the tub, too.... with candles! HA!

Hey! And good for you for not answering the phone. It's my opinion that sometimes administrators "over use"  (that is a nicer way of saying abuse) staff when what they really should do is hire a few extra people! They think if they half kill the faithful folks they have, it will make the budget work better. I just think that is WRONG! It is hard to do your best when you are exhausted, too. Get some rest, Sweetie!

Well, I say it is ABOUT TIME that you decided to put that caller id to good use and protect yourself.  Really, Linda, you are one of the most dedicated nurses I've ever known, and I pray that you'll care for my loved ones and/or me should we ever need medical care....Jesus shines through you so clearly that I need a veil!   I love you, xoxoxoxo
