I hope you all had a safe and happy New Years Eve. I spent it at work and at midnight I was literally cleaning old puke basins. They had been sitting there leftover from the day shift so not only were they old puke basins, they were old and crusty puke basins. Yuck! I was working in the ER and I was expecting it to be a crazy, busy night but it was slower than than it has been in a really long time. I've been working there the last 4 night shifts I've done and it's been hopping busy all night long, with two nurses running our butts off all night. Last night it was a slow but steady trickle of patients with nothing more exciting than allergies. Not at all what I had expected.
This morning I got home and Travis and I slept in till noon then made a big breakfast and went snowshoeing. It was my first time on my new snowshoes and they're great! We were out for about an hour and then on our way back home, Travis's fire pager went off and I got dropped off at the fire hall. So now I'm sitting at the internet cafe down the street waiting for him to finish saving lives so we can go grocery shopping before the store closes. I wandered around downtown for a bit, went to the bank, the post office and to Beamers for a matcha latte so I'm hoping he's done soon cause I'm running out of things to do.
Welcome to 2007!

Hey you!
I'm glad it was slowish for you. I almost got to gas an inmate lastnight.. but I was too late.. DAMN! Other than that my night was uneventful... but I got home before midnight and had some wine :D
I'm glad you got to use your snowshoes! Have a great 2007!!! Love ya!
Happy New Year Mel. I hope Travis finally made it back okay and you didn't OD on matcha lattes. C and I spent New Year's Eve with Steve and Rosie at their cabin near Dunsmuir. We played Rummiekub until midnight -- better than cleaning out barf pans!! C and Rosie started their new year with a 2 hour yoga session and Steve and I settled into some bowl games after a brisk 3 mile walk along the Sacramento River. Their cabin is just below the snow line -- close enough for me -- it was beautiful!! Ryan, Maddie and Jane arrive in a few hours, then all @&*$ breaks loose!! Actually, Ry turned 10 a month ago and Jane is a bit of a tyrant (has to be), so order should prevail. They are planning to stay only 2-3 days.
Your Xmas gift arrived today, so it's into the mail tomorrow -- after this nation (or the US Postal Service) finishes mourning the passing of its 43rd president. Sorry for its lateness!!
Happy New Year!
Love you!
