2011 - Day 67

Jiffy - painting

I got back to Mum and dad's about 3pm (having left Bude at 5.30am) and worked a 6 hour shift.  Wow, I'm tired!

Anyway - I had the best of welcomes .... so that helped the aching feet!

2011 - 67

The keen-eyed may spot my uniform in the (blurred) background ... I have another shift tomorrow, so as I took off the dirty one and got the clean out to transfer badge, glasses etc.

Oh yes - his bouce made me forget my lack of bounciness!

Just skimmed my f-list ... see you're back early, so hope the little man cheered you up, as well.

*hugs*

jiffy gets cuter with every pic. I just want to go and give him belly rubs.

Tommy, you will be his friend for life with those sorts of thoughts!

I agree :D

He is just so cute, sn't he?

Jiffy is such a good model!!

Love the blue on your uniform and YAY for another shift. That one did come out of the blue as I didn't think you had one after today?

He is a darling (sometimes!)

Yes, I went to take a form over to the office, and they offered me the extra shift. Great for the bank balance ... sore for the feet!!!

Are you enjoying the work? I know it can be very tiring, and leave you drained but, for me, the positives outweigh all that.

I am suprisingly happy! I didn't think I would be, but it is good to actually have "hands on" caring.

Will admit I've just done 2 days with severe dementia patients ... and that is very emotionally draining!

Still some bits to learn (catheters etc!) ... but getting there. Still not sure how I will cope with "sick" ... but yes, am pleased that I got the place.

Yay for shifts!

It'll take some getting used to but you'll be less tired soon

Thanks!!!

Yep, I have tomorrow off - then back to Bude for a concert.

But, glad to say that today I don't feel as tired ... just need to get into a proper habit to help the sleep patterns! (And hopefully not too many early starts from Bude)

Yes, I didn't feel 100% bouncy after an early start - but to be greeted by such a bouncy, happy boy made all the difference.

Long days with commute added on.

Hope you can get enough hours to make it worthwhile. Pretty blue uniform - and you are well organized.

Jiffy, the inscrutable, always welcoming.

I don't have any more shifts this week - but have an orchestral concert on Saturday, so that's what I wanted.

yikes, that's an early start, but big yay for shifts and more shifts. Long may they continue (and I hope you're enjoying the work too).

Jiffy looks beautifully shiny in that pic. :)

I am suprised how much I'm enjoying things ... great to have "hands on" care, but without having to make decisions.

Jiffy certainly shines (new shampoo this week) ... maybe I should use it!
