My Sleepy Thanksgiving

So apparently it looks like the unit I am working on may not stay open. I hate this. I found a place, after County, that I am really happy at, and I may have to leave - again. It is a beautiful little unit, it just isn't busy enough. No patients. I don't know if its because of poor marketing, or what, but it just is not thriving. So we are all starting to talk about our options and where we may go. My immediate manager called tonight and is looking at taking a manager position at another Valley hospital let us know that she mentioned our names as possible hires. So its good to know I may have an offer before I even leave. But I don't want to leave. I am considering working a different unit in this hospital. Not OB. So we will see. Hopefully it will stay open through the holidays.

Sydney had her birthday on the 17th. I still need to post pictures. I'm working 5 in a row so I probably won't until I am off. But she had a really nice birthday. Happy Birthday Syd !!!

Last night Royce and Sydney and Cheyenne were in a car accident, and I am very thankful that they are all ok. Syd had to go to the ER to make sure she was ok, she twisted her neck a little, and she got to stay home from school today. Royce was on his way to visit me with the kids at work, was going through the intersection of Mill and Washington, and some guy was going the opposite direction, was making a U turn, and U turned right into him in the middle of the intersection. And it was in my mom's car. It was the other guy's fault, he got cited, and everyone has insurance, but now my mom doesn't have a car. So now we are dealing with the stress of getting through this. Royce feels responsible cause he was driving, I feel responsible because he is my husband, and the whole situation is pretty much fucked up. If they pay her for the car it will never be enough to buy a new one. She is really upset. I feel really bad about the whole thing. And not sure what to do.

So, more than ever this year, I am so glad I am working Thanksgiving. I will be working Thanksgiving Eve night, and Thanksgiving night. Even before the accident I did not want to sit around the table with people I would normally avoid and play the Holiday nice-nice bullshit game. I'd rather go out to eat with Royce where someone I don't know makes the food and cleans it up. So this year I don't need an excuse. I'll be sleeping. And I'm going to make sure I take enough NyQuil so NOTHING wakes me up. Now with the accident, that I'm sure everyone in the family is mad at us for, that we feel bad enough about, there is no way I want to have dinner with these people. Don't wanna talk about it, don't wanna deal with it.

What I am thankful for this year: That I will be sleeping in a NyQuil coma through Thanksgiving dinner.
