Peace and love

It is Monday once again, and I feel like the weekend disappeared in a cloud of smoke.Now part of that is that I worked Friday night (or ended my shift at 7:30 am Saturday) so I slept my Saturday away.My Sunday due to necessity and yucky weather outdoors was spent in the pursuit of clean laundry. Twas not the exciting weekend I had hoped for. I did have prime rib for dinner Sunday while sitting in my comfy chair so life is good. It seems no matter what shift we work we look forward to the weekends. Expectations are placed on just 2 measly days, when we should probably take the bulk of our week and enjoy each available moment. The fact that I have and continue to have an income is a good thing, even if the job itself is wearing me down. At times I feel guilty about still being able to work and at others I wouldn't mind if someone took my place for a day or two. Vacations seem not to exist in the medical world at this time and I could sure use one. I try to take my two days off (no matter what part of the week they fall) doing the things that I enjoy. Schedules do not always cooperate with that plan, as often times my schedule is one night on and one night off. Lack of sleep tends to leave me slap-happy, but happy is still happy. I guess the message is to find peace and love where they exist.
