Finally......A Day Off!

I won't know what to do with myself with TWO days in a row off. We've been so short in personel and working so much OT filling in that I have forgotten what it feels like to have day(S) off.

I also found out that we will soon be going to an A/B -12 hour shift schedule at my site soon.

I couldn't/wouldn't do it if it was 12 hour shifts 5 days a week- but with two on-two off(you know how it works) with a long weekend every other weekend...I think I can deal with that once I have a few weeks to get used to it.
As a matter of fact- I think it will seem more like working part-time to me. And I like THAT idea!

Best part tho, is that I'll be getting paid for 36 hours one week- and 44 the following week- so I'll actually be getting a TINY bit of a raise -not anything to jump up and down for joy about- but enough to have a bit of a smile over. That's a good thing for a change considering I had a docs appointment yesterday and had some blood-work done. Got the results back from those today and my blood sugar was high so NOW I have to go to the hospital for a Glucose Tolerance Test. Whatever that is. My doc is also my moms doc and she (the doc) saw some symptoms repeating themselves...my mom is a diabetic.

I don't care what it takes- I'll do whatever she says if I just don't have to do the insulin thing every day. God, I HATE needles- I mean, I don't just HATE them- I am deathly afraid of them. And that's not something you will hear come out of my mouth very often. I don't think I'm even as afraid of snakes as much as I am needles. Just ask Paulius about my "Fishhook in the Foot Incident". He needs a laugh today.
But talk about MOTIVATION for losing weight and getting healthy!!!!

Wish me luck...I'm gonna need it.
