A Busy One!!

Today was a very interesting day. I had to work so it wasn't the typical Christmas. We actually had Christmas at our house yesterday, and it was wonderful. There is nothing better than watching children opening gifts and their joy when they receive something that they've "been dying for". I had been watching the weather yesterday and knew that there could be some slick roads this morning. So when I got around this morning I turned on the television to check things out. Springfield looked pretty rough and when it got about time to leave I got Doyle up and asked what he thought about me driving. Remember, I just had a wreck not 3 months ago so I'm still pretty skiddish when it comes to bad roads/weather. He went out and walked the drive up to the road and reported back that I should be "fine". So I leave for work about 10 minutes early--just in case--and thankfully I had no problems. I didn't drive the speed limit and was passed (actually, my doors were blown off) more than once, but I didn't want to push it. I get to work and the Pharmacist calls and says he's going to be about 30 minutes late (roads?????), so the floor tech and I start the day without him. The hospital was hopping all day long. Usually holidays are VERY slow and drag all day long, but not today, we were busy from 7:30 when we started til 5:30 when we left. The ER was full all day long and we had our usual number of inpatients. Let's just say I took my netbook, magazine, and a puzzle to work on and didn't get to partake of any of them!!! At least the day went pretty fast. So I'm looking forward to lounging the next two days, I can't decide if I want to get out early in the morning for the "morning after" sales or not. Maybe I'll set the alarm and see how I feel in the morning, which means I'll either get up and go or turn the alarm off and go back to sleep-----only time will tell!
