Shorter Days

Not looking forward to the shorter daylight and longer nights.  Sitting her tonight with another 12 hour day just reminds me how much I don’t like winter.  If I didn’t get so cold maybe it would not be so bad.  But after years of being out in the elements and taking care of livestock, once my fingers and toes get cold, I’m finished.  Not to mention shoveling snow and heating the house.  Oh well, when I finally retire, I’m headed south.

Today has been a less stressful day.  After working midnights, I didn’t sleep very well today.  I had clean sheets and had the dogs stay out of my bedroom, but it didn’t do much good.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.  I am going to call mom and see if she would like to go out for dinner tomorrow when I get up.  I haven’t made muck time for her lately and I’m feeling kind of guilty.

The full moon has really brought some bad  happenings today.  There were several serious car crashes today at the same moment.  It was odd because the fire departments had several medical helicopters to the county.  My partner here at work was really upset due to one of the locations and the seriousness of the injuries and the fact that kids were invovled.  I told her that the best thing that we could do for them since it was not in our city was to pray.

So I think I’ll kick back and hope for a quiet night.  We were pretty steady last night and I am hoping for more quiet tonight.  Hope all are well and and happy.
