Mass Exodus

Thing have been crazy at work again, but I am kind of glad. A fresh start and a new year is the perfect way to start this week. We had a mass exodus again and we are down on numbers. This makes having actives and and planning slightly easier, but whenever things get slow is when the pace picks up really fast within the next two weeks. But besides the insanity my first two days back thing are looking up.

Back in Kentucky

I returned back to the mountains yesterday night and still need to finish unpacking. I started the elimination diet and so far it is kind of driving me crazy. I am slightly hoping that it doesn't make me feel better and I can start eating that I want a again. :-) On other news I start work again tomorrow and by Friday everyone should be back from vacation.

Actually Vacation

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!
I get to take a break from work and the shelter life. So I am enjoying it with my family and friends back in Saint Louis.
Enjoy the holidays!

Lover of my life, winner of my soul

There must be a God, because there is no way that I could end with a bad day and end up having my pandora turned to the perfect station. Even when I wasn't even going to touch my computer until tomorrow. :-)

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.
