ramblings 32

Today was a much needed day off. I slept till almost 15:00 (3pm) and then had my coffee. My sister was home because my niece was sick so I got to spend some time with them. It was still snowing, which I thought was going to turn to rain. We had a high snow drift on our back porch. Snow is incredible but I heard driving in it was no fun. My friend in RI had a long 4 hr commute to Boston. That would drive me insane. I would turn back and call in. But then she is a supervisor so she needed to be there. She does work for a hospital so I understand her need to be there to make sure things get done or to make the decision to let people go home, which would be hard to do if you are not there. Been there many times when I was at work. I used to work for a 24/7 lab in the hospital so being there is vital. Someone always has to be there no matter what the conditions were outside. I remember being there for 9/11. We had to wait for possible survivors to be brought in from New York so we couldn’t leave. It was a terrible shift just sitting around waiting when there were no outpatients to do. All we could do was watch the clip of the planes hitting the towers over and over on the internet. It was a very solemn day.

I know I am doing my writing a little later than usual. But then I have only been up for a couple hours. I haven’t done much. I still have not put my regular comforter on my bed. I just have my Red Sox fleece throw and my old comforter to keep me warm in my cold room. I don’t like the set of sheets I have on. I can’t seem to move when I where my fleece pajamas. I tend to get stuck and I don’t like it very much. I should have put the fleece sheets on the bed but they tend to make me really hot and I can’t sleep really with a blanket or comforter. I just get too warm and wake up. I hope that I sleep tonight. I again woke up at three this morning. Luckily I was only up for a short period and was able to get back to sleep. But then I woke up at fucking 0830 because some knucklehead called me. I was in a light sleep and the vibration of my phone woke me up. I was pissed. So I got up and had some breakfast as I was starving and then went back to bed until I woke up at 1500. I have not eaten that much in the past few days. I haven’t been that hungry. I have lost two pounds and I hope they stay off.
