Rainy days are great, if you have someone to share em with. I love just being able to snuggle up and do nothing, bring out yer doona (or duvet as I am told it is called) and veg out on the couch. I love rain, and fog and thunderstorms, something of them just appeals to my nature.
Work called this morning at 7:20am, I tried desperately to ignore the call, but they keep ringing and ringing, so I ended up answering it and going to work, and I am now working tomorrow too! so i work the next 5 days, a 7 day work week, gotta love it eh? Oh well at least I have 4 days off in between this and my next lot of shits. Somedays I love work, somedays I hate it, but what I really hate is when I have too many patients and I cant spend the time with people that I want to. I managed to spend a good while with 1 couple and their baby out of the 6 patients and babies that I had to look after today. I didn't manage Observations (obs) until 2pm, they are sposed to be done at 10am... I felt like I achieved nothing, and it frustrates me when are understaffed because it causes lack of care. We just don't have time to be able to go sit with the women, debrief them over their birth experiences if they were traumatic (yeah I know some people would laugh at the "if" bit), to be able to talk over things like parenting, to give them a chance to express any worries or questions they have, and to have time to educate them about breastfeeding and other things to do with parenting. So I left today feeling.. frustrated!
Anyways, I think I will go snuggle up in front of the heater with me, myself and I and watch John Mayer on tv :o)
