“A million dreams is all it’s gonna take.”
~From The Greatest Showman, sung with my nieces~

Our company left in the afternoon but I had to work so I wasn’t there. One of the nurses had a sister who was coming to town so she was trying to find someone to cover her evening shift. I’ve pretty much decided that I don’t do late evenings (7-11) basically because I don’t want to stay up that late. There are other reasons but I won’t go into them. She found someone from 7-11 so I said I’d do the 3-7.

It was another semi-hectic day. It is not unusual to have to stay 1-2 hours past the end time and on a bad day even three. I haven’t even been there long but even I can see that it wasn’t always like this. But the patient load has definitely gotten harder as they keep admitting more involved people with issues. You can feel like you’re concentrating and being careful but all of that can be disrupted fairly quickly.

I still like it, I just hope I can keep it. We had a fun time with the girls visiting this week. My sister has done a lot of hosting this summer including their former foreign exchange student and her mom for ten days. My cousin’s wife had always wanted to see the house from the Home Alone movie that’s in Chicago so they took a day trip to do that while she was here. It recently sold for over 5 million dollars.
