Survived my first night on call! Started at 3 PM, came home ca. 10 AM, a total zombie. 'nother shift tomorrow

Am slowly figuring out how to make use of my "idle" time to fiddle with notes, instructions etc. Was really on edge last night so I floated around in the hospital between the ER and various wards. Was visited by the ginger who brought delicious food <3 I kept waiting for something terrible to happen, and by "something terrible" I of course mean "acute 'millions of brain-cells dying every second you waste' stroke". Ca. 7 AM I finally collapsed, fervently hoping that I'd succeeded in cheating fate, fell asleep and had a nightmare about the stroke-pager going nuts but somehow I escaped.

And then the stroke pager went nuts just 15 mins before I was supposed to get off my shift. On the bright side, I'd forgotten to set the alarm so its hellish beeping was actually very timely. Moreover, it was a very effective stimulant. The sun seemed to shine brighter today. The walk home was blissful. On the down-side I was too knackered to do anything much once I got home, didn't take the opportunity to lie in the sun, and collapsed for real ca. 5 PM just before the ginger got home.

Still, it's been good, and tomorrow's gonna be better I think
