Thursday - And I'm Off

  Well, I made it through my shifts this weekend, and then I ended up going into work Tuesday night after my meeting cause my friend, Maria, called me and said "Please, it is only me and Shawna after 3am!".  Darn it I couldn't ignore that one cause I've been in that position and it just sucks.  Plus it was "call-back pay" (time and a half) which I sorely need right now.

And boy did I earn my pay this weekend!  It was a new moon (which I personally think is worse than a full one) and we had 5 psych holds all weekend because all the psych hospitals were full.  And Monday night was horrible, just horrible!  I put us on total divert for 3 hours and then it was still horrible!  This EMT told me last night that was I exceptionally beautiful when I was stressed, so I told him that he should have been in the ER Monday night because I must have been positively glowing, lol.  Then it was Cinco de Mayo on top of all that!  Ugh.  Thank the good Lord those 4 days are over!

I was kinda put put out with this family Monday night.  Their loved one passed during a code and the daughter works for a mortuary.  Well the patient hadn't been dead for even an hour and I was told they had already called the mortuary and they were en route to pick up the body.  I'm like "whoa!" because I have legal steps I have to take before I release a body like call the medical examiner's office and notify them of the death and then organ donor network, etc.  I hadn't done any of that yet.  It did so happen I just got off of the phone with the ME's office and they declined the case (long standing terminal illness and a private physician willing to sign death certificate) when the mortuary showed up, but Ilet the family know that was inappropriate and the mortuary too.  Kinda gave me the wilily's, KWIM?  I'm sure it was nothing but I don't like people too eager to take care of affairs.  I probably just watch too much TV, lol.

So I've been super duper tired and had to go back to bed after I picked up Caleb from school today.  I'm up late washing clothes and packing cause our plane leaves Phoenix at 7:05am!  Egads!  And I know you know how much I hate flying (right Betty?), so if you are up early and read this please say a prayer for me and Caleb.  We will be back on Sunday night and then I"m back to work on Monday.  Hannah is coming back with me, yea!

 

Did anyone get a chance to see Iron Man yet?  I know that Dawn has and she thinks that she is going to get my man, but she is evil and good always wins!  Right?

 

Hope you all have a great weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day!

 

Ciao! De ;)
