    Okay, I would like some prayers/hopes/good thoughts for the 911 dispatcher job. We're beginning the process of transferring people to Health Science Center component so as to avoid terminating people. Unfortunately, no one wants to transfer so someone will be losing their job. :disappointed:
    Could be our admin, could be a commissioned officer, and they may give the "retire or you're laid off" option to one of the sergeants. We were supposed to be safe at the detachment, apparently we're not. :grimace:

    I've take n 10 days off for my birthday. I'm hoping to be doing some tests/stuff for the dispatcher position during that time, maybe earlier, but who knows.

    Christmas has been taken down around the house, all that's left to put away are the outdoor lights. I have Tuesday night off. I've cooked 4 things in my InstantPot now. I love that thing! All that's left is to, hopefully, make it back to 164 by my birthday. Which is totally doable!

    I'm starting c25k tomorrow! :smiley:

    Crossing fingers for 911 dispatch, Bex!! And for the application, Jen! I've had a couple days off and a couple more to go, but heading in to the hospital tomorrow for hubby's outpatient procedure.... perhaps we can get some answers and maybe health improvements in time. Kinda nervous/stressed about this, and of course back to dealing with everyday life stressors (Mom with worsening dementia, Dad getting no rest). Sometimes I feel guilty about wanting a permanent vacation far away from home.

    @jennifer_417 Yesssssss!
    @BodyByBex Sending many positive vibes and warm wishes your way to get this!
    @canadjineh Also, the same to you. I know how hard it can be as far as parents health goes. It is hard watching someone you love deteriorate. My Dad has Parkinson's and it is progressively getting worse. My mom, on the bright side has quit smoking and is trying to manage her blood sugars and diabetes better. I'm trying to be a better cheerleader & less of a sheriff.

    Happy New Year all!
    My Christmas was horrendous - so many sick animals. One day I consulted and admitted patients solidly from 8-730 without a break. Felt like I was juggling constantly to stay afloat. Had a few days off but just doesn't feel like enough! Struggling to stay awake tonight, and super hungry which doesn't help (gained a few lbs which need to go so back on the diet!).

    @LittleMissAlx super hungry because supertired. Try to get a bit of sleep/nap in instead of eating, I know how you feel. Seems like I 'ate all the things' yesterday during my eating window (regular intermittent fasting here).

    I can't believe I picked up another cold! I'm going to become a hermit.

    Unfortunately I have to stay awake in case the phone rings as no one else to answer it :( Hoping to get some lie down time soon though when my nurse comes down.

    Stress sucks!!! Good luck!!

    @jennifer_417 Woohoo!!!
    @LittleMissAlx I hope you get some rest.
    @sufferlandrian I'm fighting one off myself, I really hope I conquer it bc I do not have time to be sick.

    @sufferlandrian I am pro-hermit but also I like to be out in the world. Colds suck.

    @bethanie0825 I know that feeling. I have time to be sick but too many people rely on me to be at work right now and I don't like the demerits that come with calling out. :frowning:

    @jennifer_417 YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!

    @LittleMissAlx I hope you get some rest, I tend to crave carbs for quick energy when I don't get much sleep.

    The respiratory part isn't bad. I've got that under control with medication (Better living through pharmacology.) but my joints ache with this one. :(

    Brrrrr, -20C tonight while I am on shift. It's been beautifully sunny and snowy during the day but awful hard to be on my foot patrol overnight. Glad you got to play in the snow sufferlandrian. I've just been out for squeaky walks with my hubby. I love the sound that really cold dry snow makes when you walk in it.

    It is so cold here tonight! We keep looking to see if there's a window open somewhere, but think the cold is just seeping in through the walls! Currently wearing scrubs, jacket and 2 dog blankets for warmth!

    Sitting in front of a nice warm fire tonight. Was out snow shoeing in -13 degrees earlier. That was a lot of work! Beautiful out there today. That's -13 F, not Celsius. :smile: hhq2r6dkzzzm.jpg
