Begging for a good day

Well, its time to start the morning. Already there are dramas here in the office. A difficult patient demanding to be seen, begging for pain medication -- as she is ALWAYS begging for pain mediciation.

It doesn't help that I am cramping this morning. I always have strange little cramps and twinges. Though I shoudl know better, I don't know if these random cramps are normal. My husband already had the bring the power supply for my laptop to the office because I forgot it (he is a true doll and my blessing) and I have about a thousand things on my plate that need to be addressed today. And we need to fire someone for falling asleep at her desk and then leaving early without telling anyone. It will be the third termination in 6 days.

Furthermore, the quest continues keep the lid on this pregnancy thing, which is not always easy. Today I am grouchy and overemotional. I became misty-eyed when I was listening to the radio and heard that some pilots, when told not to pick up wounded of the tsunami in Thailand did so anyway.... But not only did this particular group of pilots pick up wounded, several others did as well. The humanity struck me and the tears began to roll. And now I have a quick temper over this patient.

Prayer, I guess, will be my rescue throughout the day.

My journey continues.
