Today should have been a great day!
and it was…
The Giants played thirteen innings of ball today, or yesterday, by the time I post this - At first it was lackluster ball and then great ball - we stayed for the win. Yeah…it was a terrific win and it wasn’t spoiled at all by the loud, foul-mouthed, hilarious, drunken Scots rugby players sitting behind me tugging on my hair, enthusiastically pounding on my back and screaming out all sorts of incomprehensible rugby cheers throughout the game. My hubby even wrapped his arms around me tossed me up in the air when Aaron Rowand hit in the winning run - think he tore my rib cartilage again. Another sports-related injury, ah well…it was worth it!
So yes, it was a great day, but when it was over and we were riding home, dread began to fill me and all I could think about was how work is going to suck this weekend. I mentally kicked myself all the way home for giving notice and then listening to the pleading and agreeing to do another couple of three-day weekends. It is onerous, just onerous. Yes, I do realize how many people are out of a job - members in my own family are among those numbers - but I remembered why I left nursing once before - it was when this woman puked blood on me all night long that I realized I needed a change. I’m feeling the same way now - tomorrow, or rather today, somebody is going to puke blood on me. I know this for a fact, and just like the last time, I am not going to handle it well.
We’ll tighten the belts a tad, I’ll keep my RN license current just in case, and I’ll write and maybe do a little catering again. It will be okay.
So,the fantasy menage is almost finished - I’d hoped to have it done by today, but…next week I’ll be out of town for my birthday and anniversary - going to Disneyland with my honey - I so love Disneyland - and my husband’s cousins are getting his whole family together to help celebrate. Ought to be interesting! I think I can finish the book the following week and by then I’ll probably have more edits for Daughters of Persephone - which is a fun futuristic four-book fantasy series with kick-ass heroines.
I need a new book to read! Ooh, I know…Cutting For Stone, by Abraham Verghese. That oughta do me!

I just love baseball! Glad your team won.

I think you are going to be o.k. I’m sure that you wouldn’t quit your job if you thought you wouldn’t be able to make it. Keeping your liscense updated is a good idea and it is always nice to have that option. Nurses are always needed, so you can always go back.
