An observation

Normally at this point in my shift, I would have 6 hours left. 6 down, 6 to go. But, alas, not tonight. For tonight we fall back an hour, letting sugar-filled children have one more hour of sleep after gathering their goodies and letting some nurses earn some overtime in the dark.

And, as the case often is with a well-sedated and ventilated patient, I have extra time on my hands. The last two nights I've entertained myself by reading other people's blogs....people I know, people who know people I know, people I don't know from Adam, etc. Little glipses of lives scattered all over this circle; never-ending commentary on the mundane and the earth-shaking. I switch back and forth between "Man, I have an incredibly boring life" to "Seriously, people, get lives." Either way, it makes me want more words. Words that don't end in -ology or -itis. And I find myself reading on and on. With very little to say.

That's all.

No, no. It goes...

"Aaahhh! I'm a big gray monster!"

Just thought I'd clarify. :-)

(Only Pryor 109 knows what I'm talking about. Don't worry too much about us.)

Check out this one, next time you've got a lot of time. He's the husband of Katie, one of my girls from high school. They live in Australia, now. http://timothykirkpatrick.com/wordpress/
