Unlike Julie, and her joy for the fact that it is Friday, my work week starts tomorrow. I am leaving the house at 5 minutes after 6 (AM!!!) to meet Beth so she can take me to my very first day of consolidation on the Mother-Baby unit.
I am excited, nervous, happy, (sad about waking up so early!) and truly looking forward to the last leg of my schooling career. On Monday night I will experience my first of two night shifts in a row (oy vey) which remind me of the summer that ninny worked 20 hours a day. yikes bikes!
It has finally dropped below zero here, and the winter fanatics are hoping that the canal will freeze in time for winterlude.
Thomas and I do not like to skate, so we avoid the canal, but since Julie misses snow so much, I've been thinking that if we are ever in a more tropical climate we may regret never skating on the canal. So maybe we will have to go out this winter.
Anyhoo, it is 9:18 pm and my bedtime is approaching. even if i go to bed now I will only just get 8 hours of sleep, but it is fairly likely that I will not be able to fall asleep until later, unlike tomorow after I am at the hospital for 12 hours and then have a work Christmas party to attend.
love!!!

Skating - a skill I never really learned to do well...I am like you, K8 - I think I will need to learn to do this better for the sake of my four children who will want to learn themselves...
Let's make it a time together so we can all look ridiculous together, shall we??
Pat :)
oh yes pat!!!
that would be lovely.
now i hope that this canal WILL indeed freeze!!

Word to the wise regarding night shifts: get out of working at the hospital ASAP and get to a private clinic (I am at an oral surgery clinic) that is closed nights, weekends, holidays, etc. Night shifts are inhumane! Good luck to you!
You've been tagged, Kate.

Kate - Oh my, I'm so behind. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope they were swell! Remember when we played flute and clarinet at your house?? haha!
Hi dearest Kate :)
Hope that your first day went wonderfully and that you are now well into the swing of things! Soon you will be all done your education - very exciting! The skating sounds fun, even though I cannot really do it either - I hope it gets cold enough in O-town but not nearly as cold as it is in mad SK (I don't miss it that much!!)
Just wanted to say hi - hugs to you and Thomas :)
