Bad Day

So as you may not know I work the grave yard shift at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake. I tend to sleep during the day, today however was not that case. I also have a second job working for a friend in home health.
Well I went to see my morning patient which I'm not supposed to have but went anyway. Then I spent 30 min listening to my friend complain about her roommate who had friends over the night before. Well one of those friends happened to be my husband. She was telling me how loud and belligerent they were and how the cops got called at one in the morning. i was quite upset with my husband. After talking to him come to find out that my friend rounded out the corners to not make anwone mad.
Anyway that started the bad day out. I get back home and clean a little do laundry and planned on taking a nap. Well I had seamed to forget about a work meeting I had that evening at 5:30 up at the hospital. It went for TWO HOURS!!! When I got back home at 8:00 I was tired and hungry well at 8:05 I get a phone call asking where I was cause I was not at one of my patients houses. I had completely forgot about my night patients I had to see. So I quickly leave and don't get home till quarter to 11. I'm still hungry and tired I might add. So i fix me something to eat and take a two hour nap. Now I sit here trying to stay awake so I can sleep tomorrow during the day.
All in all that was a bad day!!

Sick

Have you ever worked so hard that you make yourself sick? That your so tired and your immune system says "ok i've had enough"? Well that seames to be happening at our house. First Vern started to get sick, sore thoat and cough along with an achey tightness behind his ear. Just to give you an idea Vern works five to six days a week 11 to 14 hours a day. Thats alot of hours right? Well doc said here's some antibiotics come back if it doesnt get better. He started to get better but his cough persisted. We decided he needed to take a break and have a relaxing weekend and just enjoy himself. So he took a few days of. Needless to say he got better.
Now I am starting to come down with something. I've been working two jobs to make up for me loosing hours at my full time job. I wasn't expecting to be so tired all the time. I usually get in about 25 hours at my regular job and 15-20 at my second job. Well since I started my second job I've been pulling in all my hours at my first job, they're grave yard shifts at that. I also have been asked to pick up some extra hours at my second job too. So i work a total of 60 hours a week. Something I'm not used to doing. Now as I sit here writting this blog I feel like crap! My whole head hurts my neck and back ache and I have some pressure in my chest and it all just keeps getting worse.
All I have to say that this past month has been hell at our house and I hope you all sont have to experience it!!
