Morning work

Well, we 'started the morning work' which means bathing confused (usually elderly) patients who choose to ring their buzzer at 5 a.m. Memo to self...make sure you're one of hostile residents if you have to go into a care facility. You know, the kind they wouldn't dare rouse at that hour for fear you'd wake the entire place. It seems cruel to do most of the work in the last few fuzzy hours after we've been awake for about 24 hours but such is the rythum of the night shift. After sleeping tonight I will work another one and then have one day off before heading back as we are short staff due to a family illness. Apparently Easter weekend is going to be affected as well but I was working anyway so not much of change for me.

Time to head out into the early sunrise and into the warm nest. The slowcooker is set with 'cowboy supper' so I'm all set.
