Snow day

Bubba was out of school. On the same day he became a teenager. Alone in a house with cupcakes, which made for some interesting text message conversations, complete with photos.

Alas, since nurses don't get snow days or much downtime (most of us, anyway), I went to work. It was quiet. By 0800, when the clinics are busiest, we barely had two people show up. Thank you RehabLand Snow Removal folks. You cleaned, but people forget how to drive when temperatures are low and the pavement refreezes. Slip and slide accidents were everywhere.

I kept busy. I had a few folks who couldn't come in call me, so I helped them with what I could over the phone. I stocked my rooms, I visited patients in their rooms. I did training, since it's that time of year for competency renewal.

After lunch, we started seeing more people in the Hotel. It never got to the usual levels, but a little variation in our routine was nice.

Hope you have time to breathe (and maybe even think) in your day today, wherever you are.

More later.
