Time to go back to bed

Man alive, I should have stayed in bed this morning.

But the extra 6 inches of snow and fierce wind did not dissuade me from going to work. And even though I still haven't really slept in the last week, I felt really energized and rather ridiculously happy on shift today. :)

I was on top of things but then it started to get crazy. In the midst of trying to help the other nurses keep on track with their assignments, I lost track of my own and there was way more than I would have liked left undone at shift change (although nothing dire).

I won't go into all the crazy details but following a stressful shift change, I was in a scary (but zero injuries) car accident, my cell phone died at the police station (with my family all out of the province so I couldn't call them on their phone) and when I finally made it back home, there was a sign saying "No water, maybe back on this evening".

It definitely crossed the line to where I laughed more than I cried. It was just so comically tragic. :D

The water has finally come back on (at least in spurts, hopefully the toilet will be flushable soon). And the insurance company will call me back tomorrow morning. I'm praying that will go well. And thanking God for the little miracles that keep me smiling. :) He really is good.

I am so glad that it is time to crawl back under the covers. And I'm turning my alarm off. ;)
