Crazy, crazy week...

So, I have been working a lot lately. Linda (one of my preceptors) told me yesterday that whenever she works with me, it is crazy. Hehe, I told her that last week that it is crazy everytime I work. We didn't get to leave at 7:30 last night, we had to stay until 8:30 to help the next shift. Not fun, after working 12 hours, you want to leave.

Other than that, it has been dang cold here. This was the temp when I got in the car at 9:45 this morning:

That is cold. It was -11 this morning before I got up. (After getting home at 9:30 last night, I slept in a little.) The cold doesn't do good for my "achy breakies" as I call them. I had some serious pain this week, and luckily, it happened when I didn't have to work because otherwise, I don't know how I would make it through 12 hours of work.

I also was attacked by my cat this week. He is our "scared cat" who is afraid of everything. Well, the dog was barking at nothing and scared the cat who tried to springboard off my face and cut my lip. (Which is a feat since he only has back claws.) I thought I was going to have to go and get stitches because it would not stop bleeding. Luckily though, it stopped and I didn't have to get stitched. Crazy animals anyway.

Our kitchen water froze one day. Then the next day, mom was cooking dinner and needed to add more water to the pan and shattered the pyrex dish in the oven from the cold cold water. It was in pieces and our dinner was ruined. I just said, "I cannot wait for spring."

I have to work the weekend, which I really don't like, but what can you do? This will be the third weekend that I haven't been to church because of work and being ill. On February 2nd, I start on the night shift. 7 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. Hopefully, it will be better for me with my wacky sleep schedule.

On a lighter note, we're supposed to get 30 degree weather this week. Hurray!! That is almost above freezing. Who ever thought that I would be happy about 30 degrees. At least there is less of a chance that I will get stuck in the driveway.

Yep, that is my car stuck in some serious snow, and yes, I take pictures of everything. :) Photography is one of my favorite hobbies.

I hope that everyone stays safe and warm!!

Wow, that's cold! It makes me shiver, just thinking about it. I guess you'd probably call our 40 degree weather here "chilly" :)

Yeah, right now, I would think 40 degrees would be a heat wave. We have 20 degrees today and then it is supposed to get cold again. I cannot wait for spring!
