Ice Storm, double shift, and Empty Houses

The shelter is beyond full, but it is a nice new mix to a day at work.  This week has been something else. I worked over 51 hours this week and slept maybe 5 hours a night. I am doing okay and enjoying despite the long days and lack of sleeping. The ice storm caused me to go in at 7 and stay til 11 at night. I worked a 16 hour day the week before so... it wasn't the end of the world. I would have been did a 24 hour shift and be done with work on Friday, but I got lucky and went home for a few hours. Santa came today too and the children loved it. I also loved it, because it was less work for me. The staff and children are still getting sick and I know it is coming, but I'm ignoring it. I am just writing this to show that I am not dead, but this weekend I will be sleeping until someone forces me to get up. so good night until Monday.
