Complaining

There are VERY FEW cars on the streets of Murray at 2:20 am. However, neither the sheriff or the DARE car will pull you over even if you're speeding with your hazards on and the music blaring so loud it hurts your ears. Dangit. I really wanted SOMEONE to know I was driving after being awake since 7, working 11 hours, 2 of which were emergent, and I was supposed to be off at 11. But in an emergency, you usually have about as much time to make up charting as you spent in the emergent situation. The patient was mostly okay, I lost it only for a couple minutes. Now I get to sleep, Dan will go to work, my Mom's planning on taking the boys and I will sleep in an empty house. Then I'll have Friday (I guess that's actually today) and Saturday off and work Saturday night instead of this coming morning at 7 and Saturday morning at 7. If you followed all that, it's probably happened to you. And, Dad, I know you would have given me a police escort at 2 am just to make sure I arrived home alive. I did, I'm fine, and I wanted someone (you, my captive audience) to know just how hard it is some days to provide excellent nursing care.
