Snow Day

So Dallas is facing some "inclement weather" right now, consisting of light rain, freezing temps, and ice. We had a pow-pow at work and since we are considered "non-essential" employees, we got a ticket home! Of course we are expected to make up the hours, but much better that than being stressed driving home tonight!

So the whole "non-essential" label kind of sucks. I would like to think my job is essential, but in the hospital world you are not essential unless you are a doctor, nurse, respiratory therapist or clinical tech. Everyone else doesn't play in to the equation. My staff understood why I was getting to go home, but it doesn't seem fair to leave them all there to handle everything while I sit at home in my Pj's, sipping hot cocoa, and watching a movie on the couch!

Tomorrow is my day off work, planning to do some Christmas shopping provided the roads are clear and safe. I have most everyone's present.........but a few (including Devlon's) are looming over my head. I have even gotten most of my wrapping done so far. I have to get everything ready to send home with Sister when she drives down from Missouri for Christmas break. I am flying home on the 23rd after work and will have too many presents to take on the plane! Busy busy.

I hoping everyone is taking the time to enjoy the lights, music, smells and joy this month brings.
