Sunday [almost]
It's 5pm someplace my dad used to joke about having an early drink.
Well, it's Sunday someplace, too, so I'm going to toss a few things about Sunday up here even though it's still Saturday for me.
Nearly a week in the new place.
So far, so good.
Sleep's been hard to come by but not because of the place, at least not that I can sort out from the soreness from moving/cleaning/putting away, work, and general stuff on my mind.
Have most stuff put away in room. Feels good!
Tomorrow, Sunday, is a picnic/60th birthday party for a very good friend. We're not always close, but we've always trusted each other. She's the only other nurse I've known since before she became a nurse- we were students in a Fourth Way group together, for a while, back in the 70's, then our kids went to school together, and then finally we became nurses [she 3 years after me].
My deepest connection with her, though, is that I lived in her house to take care of her with her last pregnancy, because if someone wasn't there she could easily have over-done, gone into premature labor again [had once after a car accident, at 5.5 months- that's when I and my son, her husband's foreman and HIS son, and her oldest son's best friend all moved in- to add some density and meat to the household, to keep things going so they could just all concentrate on being family] and lost both baby and herself [she suffers from EXTREME hyperemesis gravidarum- was on IV's all through the last three months of the pregnancy]. It worked- my god-daughter's in collge now!
So the picnic/party's from 3-6 tomorrow after noon. I'm excited to go see her, even if it's gonna cut into sleep- we've each worked every shift there is, so she'll understand if I get a ride, come late, leave early, all that.
In other news, been reading my fellow authors over at potc_fest and continue to be impressed. From the light and humorous to the deep and searching there's been some good work posted there.
Ok, all. off I go to work. I hope for a real nap tonight, but if not, it's all good. I'm glad 'my' girl continues to get the good care she deserves, and I'm happy to be there for her sister.
Be well, take care, all.
