    Here's hoping the pathology comes back clean on the mammary tumor I just removed.

    I hated rotating shifts. I like keeping the same schedule all the time.

    Rotating shifts are the worst- your body just freaks out and doesn't know what to do with itself.

    Weights tonight. Had to put a wrap on my shin to support the muscle or I couldn't do most of my routine tonight. Squats, Lunges, Funny walks, Split squats and pulldowns. Two sets of 10 each at about 75% max weight. 1-2 minute stretches between each set. Less than I wanted but better than I thought I would do. :smile:

    On my way to the gym now. PF is the only thing open 24 hrs here, besides 7-11, so I might as well use it. I just can't sleep at night, on my nights off.

    10 live puppies! I hate putting dogs down for cancer but a successful C-Section can make your night. :smile:

    I didn't know there was a night shift chat. Wish I knew last night when I was working. Hope I can catch some of you tonight. Have a wonderful day and get some rest. :)

    One of my few nights off. Just finished reading to the kids. Now off to bed with them. :smile: I'm finding it harder to keep the calories down on days that I'm off.

    My boss has commented twice on how my scrubs are hanging off of me. Best part about scrubs is the drawstring pants so I can wear them two sizes too large. Guess it's time to go shopping.

    It's slowed down so I got in 30 minutes on the bike. Now for something to eat and then back to work.

    I've been off work the last two nights, but have stuck to the night shift schedule. It's been great being off work - makes me realize just how much I don't like my job anymore. Back to work on Sat night.

    Sorry about the job MadDog. I do enjoy my few days off but I like my job as well. That makes it a lot easier to go back to work.

    Mon night will be a hard one, have to get up after only 5 hrs of sleep to attend the Regimental Funeral at 1400, then be at work for 1730 ish.

    Yikes! That's a rapid turn around. I see some caffeine in your future. :smile:

    I know the "grass isn't greener on the other side" - that's why I'm sticking it out here at my current hospital. It's close to home, compared to others I've worked at, and working night shift has me driving against the traffic both ways :-) Now, when my supervisor retires in April, that may be another story...
