night shift

It is official! I am a night owl! That gets to be paid! This week has gone surprisingly smooth since I started my first night shift on Wednesday (I had to think there.... it's beyond weird to come in on one day, but then to leave on another one. I had to ask Mike if it was Thursday or Friday today. I'm sort of really overjoyed it's Friday--- even though I still have tonight's and tomorrow night's shift to get through.... )

Ben has been very helpful in helping me acclimate to night shift by staying up most of the night Monday and Tuesday. He came down with a pretty solid case of croup, so I had him on the nebulizers by Tuesday evening, but still.... he was not having a good time there for a little bit. Right now, said boy is sitting next to me, chatting away about all the things he's jotting down in his notebook. He's getting to where he can trace letters pretty well, although we still don't know what he's saying half the time. Doesn't stop him from trying though! HeHe! To which I say, thank goodness actually. I'm glad he's still trying.

Anyway, he's feeling loads better. Still a bit of a runny nose and dry cough, but he has color back in his cheeks and he's back to eating, so... I'll chalk it up to another successful foray into and through the childhood world of sickness. Yuck! I really do not care for February. All the nastiest viruses/bacteria/whatever seem to hit in February!
