Transitions

This is a post from a couple weeks ago. Behind as usual, but I'm making great progress on a knitting project (I plan to work on that for the next few hours this morning). The baby shower at which it will be presented is on November 5th, so I really need to get that done, preferably this week

We've had two really hard frosts by now. I think it's safe to say I need to clean out my flowers and think about replacing the windowboxes and pots with my usual grass and teasel mix I leave out all winter. I can't wrap my brain around the fact that it's almost November!

As for the 'go-live' with the computer system...it didn't suck nearly as much as we were fearing! In fact, our woes the last 6 days stemmed from the sheer size of the work-load, and crisis situations that would have been adrenaline-boosters even using the old, familiar system (examples for me personally were having to process multiple spinal fluid specimens in a short time, and having to speedily prepare a box of blood units for a Life Flight that was transporting a critical patient to another hospital). But we had extra staff on hand, were able to perform everything we needed to do in the new system (it makes a LOT more sense than the old one), and we learned new tricks, and we helped each other. I work with a group of good people! But I am telling you, I have been exhausted each day. I have gotten more sleep all week than I have in MONTHS. Nothing much got done at home after work, that's for sure.
