Kudos to anyone who has to deal with that on a regular basis, because I could barely function. On the fourth day, when I had to go to work after being awake since 1:30 a.m., I thought I was going to have to take a day off lest I kill a patient due to exhaustion. But for whatever reason, she has slept well since then and I am left wondering what caused the ordeal. Work was busy and I ended up staying late every day except one. There was…

Since last weekend we were all deathly ill (we were not actually near death; I am exaggerating in order to obtain your pity) a lot of things have gone undone and untended to around the house.

Having to use the oven and stove when you’re not even really cooking is the worst. Catching up on crafts would be fantastic. We haven’t…
