“All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive.”
~Psalm 22:29~

Work went well today. They did this thing where they switched up the Summer shifts in order to hopefully solve some of the staffing issues. One nurse comes at 7-3 and has the whole floor for two hours. Then the other nurse comes at 9 and stays until 5:30. Then she takes eight of the residents and is responsible for all of the treatments. This way there is some overlap for her to be there to help with the evening med pass and treatments before the 3-11 nurse is there for the rest of the night with CNA’s.

This was my first time doing the 9-5:30. I’m not sure how I like the new system yet but I can understand what they were thinking when setting it up. Today anyhow it was nice to not have to go in quite as early. I can go to sleep in peace feeling like tomorrow is a normal morning. I was a little worried about my energy levels and not being able to feel okay for the shift, but God provided what was needed and I typically still seem to feel better as the day goes on. I came home and finished our Good Friday supper.

The rest of the family went to church which was the arrangement ahead of time. We usually have some kind of special meal for Maunday Thursday or Good Friday where we have lamb and other things that make it seem more like a passover meal. There’s no meaning attached to it, other than the visual and experiential act of drawing the attention to something different and remembering when our Lord underwent his own day on our behalf.
