Dang, I'm tired

The last several weeks,  I've been working out-of-state and on-call 24/7.

I worked 10 hours each day, and slept 10 hours each day.  There was nothing else to do.  I think I gained weight (which hasn't happened in many many years).

I can't even remember the last time I've been as well rested.

I'm beat. Started a new job as an NP at an urgent care this week, so doing the orientation thing. Well, they've been building a new clinic, and it was completed last night. We moved offices today. I'm talking totally cleaning out an urgent care office, and moving all the crap to the new one. Gonna eat, have a glass of whiskey, and head to bed. I have studying I could be doing, but I ain't doin' it tonight.

No ticks, so that's a plus.

I got Lyme last year (two years?) ago.

I told the doctor, "But I'm immune now..."

She said, no.  If you catch it quick and knock it out,  you can get it again.

yay.

Good thing it didn't 'tard my brain.

Are you sure?

I mowed four acres on the Bad Boy this morning, then spent a couple of hours clearing brush off the hiking trails on the back forty. Essentially sitting and walking, but I guess it adds up. It's a good tired, though.

Undergoing radiation treatments for throat cancer is wiping me out daily for the next 6 weeks

I've had it twice.  On my chests.

They shot me from the front,  and I got pizza-bubbly-sunburned on my back.

You're allowed to sleep all day,  every day, right now.  And get away with it.

Damn, prayers sent.  I went two rounds almost 30 years ago.  It was rough.  There were several weeks of awful, shitty slumber each round, but I'm still here.  May you be well 30 years down the road as well.

First one was (?) 15 years ago.  Second was five years ago.

If you just don't give a ****,   and don't mind being made stronger....

Then you have the mettle.

Don't explain it.

Just roll with it.

They take a huge pillow full of foam beads, and position you....

The only tattoos I have are dots thats the nurses put on me.

They say, as they put this thimble-thing on their finger, "This won't hurt"

And then they stab you in the tit.  It hurts

But we're big boys,  so we deal.

And next time you go in,  your pillow, on the shelf,   is all vacuumed sucked-down, so you lay down in the bed, and your arm is positioned exactly like last time......

so they  can put you in the microwave, perfectly.

Two minutes.

whirrrrrrr!

ding!

Done!

MMmmm.....  smells like pizza!
