Sat Jan 17

Good early morning. It's 2am CST right now. I went in to work at 1845 last night then got sent home just before midnight d/t low census but I'm on call incase things get busy...that's ok I was working overtime anyway... we were busting butt the previous 2 nights then low tonight...women just come in have their babys and stay 24-48 hr and get out of Dodge. Hopefully they'll all stay home the rest of the night so I don' tget called back in need to go to bed soon so I can do something during the day.
It's going to be about 30 tonight (coldest it's been in 3 years I'm told) but better then those negative numbers.

Thanks for starting the thread, Cass!

Today's my Dad's birthday, and back then, a 'normal birth' would land you at least 5 days in the hospital. Seeing as he was a section, that was a bit longer.

I need coffee right now. Had the puppy sleep with us last night, and he did NOT move very much.

I needed coffee this morning too but my H2O was frozen this AM, took a while to get things flowing again. Spent a while in the well-pit with a hair drier and sundry other tools ended up cold, wet and shivering still no coffee yet faucet plugged with stuff broken free from inside of pipes. As of yet a miserable morning.

Put Simon & Garfunkle G/H on to get the blood pumping again, a little "Celia" and "Mrs.Robinson" never hurts.

I walked about 8 miles on the beach today then DH and son picked me up and we went to Margaritaville. I had a hurricaine which I don't think had any measuring of the alcohol it was quite strong (and I haven't had a drink for probably 6 months or more lush that i am) then we played putt putt (it was 49 out and the sun going down) so got a bit frozen by then but I still won!!!!

Ahhh....cow pasture pool! (AKA golf) Never could get into that. :p Now cast iron skillet tossing, or tomahawk throwing is a definate!

Orion, my dad had the same problem. I swear for someone who thinks things out, he didn't do so when they built the house. Then again....who knew we'd have this happen 40 years later. :p

Listening to youtube right now: an obscure song named 'Hot Summer Night' by Night YouTube - hot summer night - Night Just felt like hearing it again.

Oh, Cass: do NOT drink Hurricanes made in New Orleans! My uncle had about 2 or 3 and about kissed the pavement. Mind you, he's done his share during the Reserves, so...the drink does pack a whap.
