Going nocturnal

Tonight is my first night back on the graveyard shift, which is my favorite. It's almost 10 pm here at the house, all the dogs, cats, and men are asleep, and I'm sipping Earl Gray and blogging. In about ten minutes, I'll get ready for my shift.
I DO love being up at night. The stuff that comes in the ER is either really bad, really weird, or really annoying. My job is to treat it them all with dignity and compassion. Sometimes it's a challenge, but the thing I love about the people I work with is that they are all generally kind, smart, and patient. They do seem like sisters, especially when things get a little hairy.
So, I'll do my job, then see my horses, then come home to my little house in the morning.
Sleep well, family.
