I'm exhausted. Did a 24 hour shift, including the overnight at my parents. Had that foolish baby monitor on so we could hear whether they try to get up in the night. Falling risk and all that.
Didn't get much sleep with that foolish thing all night. But no falls.
Just got the lawn mowed of leaves. Now I am taking a nap.
I am not doing any more overnights there this month. Just shorter dinner shifts.
DH was a trooper going with me this time. And he's a great PT coach for my mother's knee rehab. I am grateful for him.
Blankie you are so sweet to take on caring for them like that. I am sure it is exhausting and hard. I hope they appreciate all that you are doing.
It is a really nice day today. Did all my errands, pretty much done Christmas shopping for DD. I bought her some clothes - had $30 is Gap bucks - bought her a large package of 10 nail polishes with matching lip glosses. Her big gift, other than Disney trip is I bought her a touch screen chrome book. Just need to pick up a toy, maybe books and stocking stuffers.
I finished up my charity gifts I get every year but do want to get the kids some candy or some other small item. The charity is a school/prison of sorts for troubled teens. For the past 20 years a friend of mine has organized a gift drive. Each kid gets to choose one item they want for Christmas. for most of them, it will be the only gift they get. I choose three each year. This year two wanted basketballs and one wanted a book on WWII, so I got him two books.
DS will be tougher. SS is almost done, just looking for that one special personal item to add to what I already bought.
I also put another log rack together and finished stacking the wood. I have more wood coming. Boy, that is a back breaking job.
The dog has been on two power walks. DD will be home from her Dad's in about 1/2 hour. Then I will cook dinner. I have done so much but it feels good.
I've done the laundry and folded it, and so there it sits in the basket and it won't put itself away!
Blankie, you are a really good person.
Love the dress Squeaks.
Hi to everyone else!

The international checks are mailed (no going back now!), lunch is bought and I am sharing cold French fries with the pooch. Emails are sent, now I just need to call the storage place and see how they want me to proceed (emailed money or checks in the mail). Then need to break down the housekeeping (fold clean laundry, do other half of dishes, wet & dry Swiffer all floors, cook dinner, do dishes again....) and then write the paper. And then do some research for my prof regarding a project I suggested (I'm an idiot, making more work for myself ....) and somewhere in there take a nap. Although I have slept a lot in the last two days.

I blame the coarseness of the pillowcase. Problem solved by doing laundry!

This season or tonights episode or both? We're having trouble liking it and spend most of the episodes pointing out inconsistencies and plot holes.
Tonight's episode. It seems choppy and off. I'm not even sure what is going on. And all the flash backs or flash forwards aren't making sense.

Nursing supervisor just called. Dr. Doodle has a case. I get up. Put my pants on grab my shoes. Nursing supervisor calls back. Never mind, he just cancelled it.
.
I have a feeling it's going to be a long night.

Dammit. I prioritized the nap and now it's almost 8pm. Stupid stupid stupid. It always happens that way.
