After a Long Shift

I am off work for a much needed vacay but in memory of those long hours I thought I would post some sleepy drive home pics. This was all I could do to stay awake one morning after getting off. We work 12 hour shifts, however with nursing sometimes you just cannot finish what needs to be done in 12 and unfortunately things often go bad at shift change ending up in 13-16 hour shifts. YAWN!

The old eye-prop. Not very effective that morning I might add.

The slap in the face, also not very effective that morning except to make me laugh and then right back to being sleepy.

Tried and true, can't even make it out of the car and into the house so I'll just take a quick nap in the driveway =) I am sure the neighbors wonder about me. Now I am off to enjoy my sleep filled lazy vacation.

Rainy Tuesday

Struggled through my pre-dawn cardio on the elliptical this AM, not sure if I was still wiped out from the session with my trainer last night or I was just being lazy because I know I have to go back to work tonight. But...I made it through thanks to some recently downloaded tunes.

Next the sun had come up but was hiding behind some rain clouds. I love a good RAIN! The birds were chirping and I left the back door open to enjoy the sounds and fresh air while I made some SUN-DRIED tomato hummus and cleaned the kitchen.

Breakfast of champions: Roasted pork loin, garlic, and broccoli in marinara with side of asparagus in BBQ sauce *this was a new and amazing treat. I never thought to put BBQ sauce on veggies until I saw it on Caitlin's blog. I must say this is a repeat for sure!!! Oh and before you judge about me eating this for "breakfast" remember I am a night-shifter ; ) K, Thanks!

Now to relax and let my stomach settle before catching some zzzzzs before work.
