Uffda

Today was much too long* and way to busy to consider doing anything besides try to keep my head above water at work.  Sorry.  No thankful Thursday.  Sometimes when I know I'll be busy on Thursday, I type my list up on Wednesday but....yesterday was just as busy/exhausting.  One of our hospitals is on "red light" which means it has reached full capacity....elective surgeries are postponed and the surgeries that have to happen get shipped off to the other hospital to recover.  Not ideal, but there is no other choice.  It is really good for business and really bad for the nurses working on a 24-bed unit that ask for 5 extra nurses and get zero.

I would type it up right now, but I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes from crossing.  I've got a busy morning tomorrow before I pack up and head off to quilt retreat where I will be laughing with my sisters and resting from the internet until Sunday.  So. stinkin. excited.  So....maybe I'll get to it on Sunday evening.  Or maybe the list will just be really long next week.

In the meantime....I am thankful for a dad who loves my blog so much that he emails me in the evening to remind me that I still haven't posted my Thankful Thursday post.  He checks every couple of hours.  Everyone needs at least one person who sees them only through their love-colored glasses.  Thanks, Dad, (and Mom) for being that person.

*"Long" as in "exhausting," not "long" as in "had so many extra hours I didn't know what to do with myself."  Just to clarify.
