[wilderness01]

Thanks for the recipes Beth. Don't apologize about not pm'ing me sooner, I know you have your hands full. Hope your weekend is good/work is steady but manageable.

Hi Beth,
Hope your shift goes well. Acuity always skyrockets over the holidays because only the sickest patients stay in house. And then afterwards, you get all the sick, vented respiratory patients. Been there, done that, 12 hour shifts in the unit. I feel for ya!

Just wanted to poke my head in here and see how you were doing Beth! Good for you for getting in that exercise in at the Y. Hope you were able to catch up on some zzzz's!

Have a great Monday!

Hi All,

I have sucker written all over my face. I was scheduled for Friday-12 hours and 8 hours on Sunday night. We were desperate and I agreed to 12 hour shifts on Sat and Sun. Got off work at 8am sat, back at work 330pm. Off workat 4am. I had breakfast with the girls, then hit the Y. I managed to walk 7 miles starting at 6AM. I definately wore my princess hat, and I also overdid it. Collapsed, then back at work at 730PM. Well my patient codes this am at 745am, so I didn't get out of there until 940. Came home to shower. There is no point in sleeping for 1 hour. I pick Katie up at noon. I've already called Won to say he provides dinner tonight. I will probably manage a 2 hour nap with Katie. I will crash early tonight.

I managed to stay completely OP this weekend, except for coffee. a venti cap on the way to each shift and on the way home this am.

I will get to as many journals as I can today. I will be catching up by tomorrow, I promise.

Take care,
Beth

Gosh and I thought I had a hectic weekend! I am exhausted just reading about it Beth!! Make sure you get to bed nice and early tonight. And tell Won those dishes better be done tomorrow morning!! :jumping4:

Great job staying OP despite such craziness. That is when I usually fall apart. I admire you because that is when you typically kick it into high gear! WTG!!! And you walked the walk with our WISH buddies!!! WOOHOO! But you shouldn't have done so much!

Get some rest and we'll "see" you tomorrow!

TTFN- Sharon

Beth, 7 MILES???!!! WOW!! On one hand, I'm so proud of you! On the other hand, what were you thinking?? With all that work, you should have been resting! Oh well, I know how it is when you set a goal and want to accomplish it AND when you're supporting your friends. I could feel you with me during the half and I had my hat on too.

Glad to hear you'll get a nap and that Won has been put on notice that he must provide dinner! Way to go!

Best wishes for a good sleep tonight.

Beth, I'm exhausted just reading you journal!

7 miles is outstanding but please don't over do it!

I hope you get plenty of rest!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Hi All,

There will hopefully be fewer typos in my posts today. I managed about 10 hours of sleep and I am at least lucid.

We received about another 4 inches of snow, so I will shovelling snow in addition to using the glider today at the Y. I will also be taking Katie to dance and grocery shopping. I also need to get the house back under control.

Yesterday's food:
B: Cap and MS bar.
L: 2 scrambled eggs.
S: Celery stuffed with cheese.
D: Mcdonald's double cheeseburger and salad.
No exercise. Tons of water.

Today's food:
B: crustless quiche and tea.
L: salad from Ol;ive Garden.
D: I have no idea yet. I'm thinking fish of some sort.

I'm off into the snow.

Have a good one,
Beth

Hope your day is good. Be careful shoveling that snow.

Beth... Geez... I'm exhausted just from reading your post. I don't know how you do it. It's amazing that you work those hours, take care of Katie and still find time to workout. I will NEVER complain again that I'm too tired Try and get some rest when you can

Take Katie to school. I'll head to the Y and do 45 minutes on the glider.
Clean the living room and kitchen.
Start working on laundry

Meal plan..
B: MS and green tea.
S: celery and cheese.
L: scrambled eggs and lc toast
S: coffee, enough said.
D: roasted chicken broccoli, salad

Ok, I'm outta here. Have a great one, and I'll be checking in later.
Beth

So, it's cold and rainy there too, huh? Look at the bright side~ no shoveling snow today!

I hope you have a wonderful day today, Beth! Do something special for you today! You deserve it!

Hi Beth! I cannot believe you did 7 miles with your hectic schedule! You are amazing woman! I hope you are starting to feel better and more centered. Remember to take some time out for you! You should schedule yourself a massage or something - you deserve it!
