Since Joe has had such good news lately, I felt inclined to try to match my husband with my own good news. I just accepted a new RN job position! Not only is it in a great woman's health clinic within the same organization that I'm currently working, it is DAYTIME hours, NO weekends, and NO major holidays (not including the "eves"). It pays less than the hospital, but I'll be working more hours, I will no longer feel like I'm living in a perpetual haze and, as my Dad said in somewhat similar words, I may actually be a person other people enjoy spending time with. Evidently, I don't make a very friendly vampire during my off hours/shifts. I'll miss my night staff, but not the night hours. I'll miss watching the most amazing sunrises over the city, but it will be nice to see the sun on a regular basis when it's higher than just a couple degrees above the horizon. Closing in on almost two years of straight night shifts! I think I've done my time. Now, if only Vermont was just a little closer to Wisconsin...
