I am soooo tired. (this in not an unfamiliar theme for me eh?)
I went to work yesterday, as we were sitting around awaiting handover, the boss comes through and asks myself and another of the midwives, "Do either of you want to do a double?"
Of Course both of jumped at the chance...not. But stupid me ended up saying, I'll stay but I am sposed to be on call tonight and work tomorrow morning. The midwife with me says, I can go on call tonight, and one of the other midwives had already offered to work my shift today. So She says, oh great, good stuff. So I know I am already stuffed.
I have the surgical patients, who keep me busy all night, so when it gets to handover time I am tiiiired. One of the doctors decided to induce a woman who had the beginnings of high blood pressure, he did a stupid thing in that he put a lot of a drug to "ripen" her cervix into her, too much as she was not a first time mom. So the woman went into labour and had a baby within about 3hrs... so the other midwife who was working with me had to stay as well and I had to "babysit" all the midwifery people as well as my surgical patients who STILL had half hourly obs going on. *sighs*
Oh well.. I got a bottle of wine out of it, and it looks nice quality stuff even!
As to my birthday, thanks for all the good wishes. I took myself out for breakie, had some..you guessed it, Maccas and got a phone call from work "Hi Bek, do you think you could come to work this afternoon, I will give you a day off tomorrow..." My answer, "Well.. today is my birthday so I am taking it off... " she is like, oh happy birthday, I'll see you at work tomorrow". Had a funny morning, everyone was making me laugh online, and had a few great phone calls from my friends and family. Snuggled up with some dvd's in the afternoon, bought myself "piglets big movie". I'll admit it I am such a kid at heart. Got some great DVD's from my bro too, so I watched them. Just relaxed, none of my friends here were free to do anything so I had to wait.
Well gonna sign off now before my brain function degrades any further and I forget how to write my own name. *grins*
Laters!
