Miscellany

1) It's kind of weird to be getting older. I still haven't transitioned to being nocturnal, in spite of being back about a week. I think I'm getting closer, but still a bit on the draggy side. Work has been pretty chaotic, what with the Memorial Day drinking and excess testosterone. I wonder about my fatigue, but my partner in the ER related that sometimes he has to just come home, sit in the back yard and listen to the wind on his day off. Something about needing to reduce stimuli, which I can relate to. I spent my night off last night napping and doing crosswords. I didn't really even have the inclination to eat. But, this morning, I feel a little more normal. I even made some vegetable soup from scratch, moved my lettuce from the greenhouse to the deck, and paid some bills. I might even get out and put some mileage on my feet today, before heading back to the ER at 8 pm. " You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...."
2) My horses, Buddy and Bella, have been doing very well. We've gone out for extended walks on the jeep roads behind their house (me leading them, one at a time), and they have been very interested in everything without freaking out. They will make wonderful trail horses.
3) Scott and I actually drank coffee together this morning, which was quite a treat. I miss him when I'm on a string of nights.
