Interesting morning.... I was awakened at 6 am to... "You know what sucks?" I kinda woke up, and heard that W had been "called off" work, not enough patients. So, she'll either have to use vacation time, or not get paid. She was upset because if she had known that, we would have stayed for the fireworks. Oh, she did say something about having a nice day, I'm sure in reference to the mirror!
So, I went to sleep, she sewed, I think. Later I got up, and got moving, did some reading and stuff like that. A bit before 10, W ways, they called back, now I'm going in. The kids want you to go to Nico's (local Mexican fast food) for breakfast. And S10 needs some help finishing the granola he's making. OK, so I got in the shower, and got ready to go. Then she calls here, "They called me back off!" She was a bit upset at that point, I had no trouble validating that! It seems the person in charge on the floor, who had called her in, got overruled by the manager, who as I understand it wasn't there. They were expecting some discharges through the day, and the manager said to run tight, rather than call in people.
So, I still made the Nico's run, and W showed up while I was gone. I got some more chances to validate, again, it was pretty easy! I said I MIGHT be able to see how they can call people off (though what other profession does that, with an hour's notice?) but I couldn't make a story where it was ok to call someone in, and the call them while they were on the way to tell them not to come in.
So, it's been an interesting day, and I didn't do anything!
Oh, she just now called her mom, I think we are going to go to dinner with them tonight. As she was telling the story to her, she said that at 6 this morning when she got called off, she woke me up to tell me, because what else was she going to do! I thought that was interesting.
As always, there are lots of hugs, the bar is open, and I think we will have to eat!
