There was snow on the ground all of the way. Once it snowed here a few weeks ago, it has stayed white because it is so cold. It snowed again today.
I did go skiing for the first time, and did I get sore! We spent about 8 hours at the ski place and had a wonderful time in the outdoors. It was so nice to feel far removed from the hospital and just be outside.
I've been a little burned out with work lately. It seems to be particularly hard when I work several consecutive days, because I have some of the same patients several days in a row. Sometimes I just want a change. However, a friend of mine from a small group that has been a nurse for 28 years gave me some words of encouragement. I can get so caught up in doing everything right and on time that I forget to take advantage of all of those special moments. Today I had a special moment praying with a patient who is afraid to die. Praying with patients is something that I don't offer to do often enough.
Words of wisdom: if you get drunk bad things can happen...really bad. We have had several alcohol related accidents, three of which were falls, that are rather dumb but very serious!
