In spite of having been off since Thursday, I am still tired and have my tension headache. My house really isn't any cleaner, although I did mop my floors for the first time in forever. My hardwood has no finish left on it, so all mopping does is make it a lighter color for a while. I didn't manage to get much laundry done. I want so badly to really have a few strong drinks right now, but because of being on call, and holding your heart in my hands if I have to go in, I can't. When I do finally get to go off call, I am taking 2 days off, so I can get good and drunk, get it out of my system and have 2 days to recover, so Katie bar the door.
I get depressed over the price of groceries. Miracle whip has actually gone up a dollar for the 32 oz jar this month. I have receipts to prove it. And we bought some whiskey this weekend. It had gone up a dollar for the fifth.
Don't get me started on gas, 20 cents in 1 week.

It is only 715, but I am thinking of taking a nice long hot bath and going to bed early. I really can't stand the thought of going to work in the am. We are still down. One traveler is off on vacation this week. The other is brand new and has never seen my surgeon do a heart, so has no idea the sequence of events. It will be she and I this week, with the assistant, to keep the doctor happy. This can be a very hard job.

Later...........
