what day is it?

How to work 80 hours:
Eat. Sleep. Work.
And probably should pray
I live far away from my job.
By Dallas commute standards.
So by staying in AirBnB-
I get 2 extra hours sleep.
But it’s still hard.
It’s hard for a 30 year old Nurse
I tell myself 65 is the new 64.

Hahahaha! The main key is to keep a sense of humor.

day on

Today’s Nurse called out.
So I went in.
As it’s been said:
“I am here for the income.
Not the outcome.”
Although I am also
here for the outcome.
Over 4 years ago, Covid was raging and I ended up in the hospital.
Working 80 hours a week
and I spent the money
on doctor bills.
Gotta learn the lesson.
Less is more.
Those true crime stories –
The bad guy is always flawed
in some way that prevents
them from being honest.
Even with themselves.
Even with a mountain of evidence.
Denial is strong.

A slow motion work up takes
about 7 years to diagnose.

I have all the symptoms and have learned to be careful –

even when I’m just walking.

In the Army I was 5’2”
After I broke my leg,
I’m 5’1” with shoes.

Unless spiked hair counts!
