Recovery

I just woke up from a nap that lasted from 5:30 until 9:30 and every frickin minute was necessary. I'm pretty sure I'll still go back to bed in an hour.

Many things contributed to this mega-nap. #1 being I got royally screwed last night as an on-call advocate. I love doing that work because it's so important but last night I was like, "I quit. Seriously." I couldn't catch a break. I went to the ER once in the evening, then went to bed and got called in again around 3:30. ER visits take several hours, so basically by the time I got done and back home, I had to get ready for work. So essentially I worked from 3:30-4:30 today. BLECH. I'm on call again right now and praying that the world stays peaceful tonight--- Hmmmm, reading that sentence I am struck by what a selfish bitch I am-- shouldn't I pray for that every night for the sake of victims-- not my sleep pattern? Sad. I feel horrible now.

This weekend was delightful fun. Tyler's been gone for nearly a week now in Colorado and I celebrated having the apartment to myself by having mom come up. We saw the Enchanted movie which was truly adorable.



I love the very end scene of the preview-- with the bikes. No matter how many times I see it, it's still hilarious.

We also went out for a nice dinner and had facials-- which I had never done before-- and which by the way, ROCK. If I had the money, I would make a weekly habit out of facials. I have uber dry skin and in the winter, I get that pink, raw, chapped look going on. Now I feel all silky. Plus they held me down and popped blackheads-- gross I know but again-- nicer skin. I'm so high maintenance it's ridiculous. Poor Tyler, he doesn't even know...

You know what I hate? Not having money! If I had money, I'd get so much stuff. Not just weekly facials but airline tickets to visit all my friends. I'd also buy many people nice Christmas presents. This year X-mas gifts are going to be very humble and probably just go to Tyler, and his parents and my parents. And if I had it my way, I'd get so many things for different people. I love buying gifts!! I really do! And it's tough because every newspaper is jammed full of glossy ads for stuff I can't afford to buy anyone. Oh well. There are way worse problems to have in life. I just sometimes think, "Am I ever going to have money? EVER?"

I suppose that's what the job is for. Today was my first day at the new building site which meant lots of hiccups. I have a duress button and yet it's not hooked up to anything. So if I'm in duress I guess I'm on my own. Everything from phone lines to vending machines are not working properly-- and who do you snip at when the machine eats your quarters and gives you no pop tart??? Oh yeah, the receptionist. Ah well. That's why the pay me the big bucks. *Cough* Yeah right *Cough*

Okay gotta go make some dinner and go back to bed. Pray for Peace!!!
