Ugh...the weather!!!

So, I got here to work tonight at 5, having driven in a downpour. Didn't think anything of it, until I heard that it was supposed to start freezing, then sleeting, then snow on top of that, then the temperature is supposed to drop down in the teens overnight!!! As if all of this is not bad enough, the winds are supposed to reach 30 mph, which is just lovely when you are driving cross country, and can barely see the lines as it is!!! So, everyone, I get off of work at 5 in the morning on Monday. Please pray that I make it home safely. :)

Only 11 days until Christmas!!! I just can't believe how fast this year has gone. I started a new career adventure in January, Jeff and I bought our first house in August, and in the middle I was planning our wedding. We got married in October, and here it is the Christmas holidays!!! I guess our parents were right...time moves faster as you get older.

I did not sleep well today. Woke up three times from 6 am to 8 am, having to use the facilities. The third time, I decided I was also hungry, so decided to eat a little something. Finally got back to sleep, only to be awakened by Gus, who is plenty big enough to jump up onto the bed on his own, scraching at the bedframe, wanting to be picked up. He finally gets up onto the bed, and proceeds to lick my face for about 5 minutes. He gives those really wet, sloppy kisses too, complete with sound effects: sluuuuurp, slurrrrrp, sluuuuuurp. Nothing like awakening to a dog licking your face. While all of this is going on, Sparky is growling and barking at me, wanting me to throw his ball. Ugh, just let me get some sleep!!! Unbeknownst to me, I did finally fall asleep amoung all of this commotion, only to wake myself up singing, 'Christmastime is here' from the quartet from Saturday Night Live. Fantastic.

So, currently, I am sitting at work, in Fast Track, with a really hilarious doctor, although I really can't understand what he says half of the time, and I am trying to keep my eyes open. I better, because, no doubt, we will be getting plenty of car accidents tonight. The joys of working in the emergency department.
