Light at the end of the tunnel

I *just* about had two whole days off of work to do nothing but what I wanted to get done.  And then God inserted His will instead of mine, and we always know how that turns out...different from our own, most of the time.  So, while it was my will to spend last night on the couch watching "Sound of Music", it was God's will that one of the CNAs got sick while at work and that I should be called in.  Which is fine.  He usually makes up for it somehow if I see it as an inconvenience.  Therefore, He made work go extremely easy last night.  When I was busy, I was super busy...but then it was quiet from about 9 till I got off work, so I got to sit and read the paper and chat with the other CNA.

I'm not going to do a review of break yet since it's not quite done, but I will tell you one thing...man is not meant to work inconsistently.   The past two weeks look something like this:  work 7 days, one day off, work 2 days, two days off (spent in traveling), work 3 days, 1 day off, work last night, tonight, and the next 3 days.  While my account thoroughly appreciated the days of work, my body and brain did not so much enjoy the many inconsistently scheduled work days...and rather savored the days off to the fullest extent. 

So, besides work, I am insanely glad that I now have friends returning to campus.  One of my housemates is back for recruitment purposes for her sorority, but even though I don't see her but in passing for the time being, just the comfort of knowing she's back is wonderful.  I look forward to the other two Nestmates returning this next weekend as well.

Alright, time to dine and then off to work!  Enjoy the snow and winter-ness, readers!
