Recharging

After nights like this and generally working long hours in a hospital at the crossroads of new life, trauma, tragedy, and death, I needed to recharge and get centered and in a place to continue such work (at least until the end of this semester).

So, this week I have

• slept long hours in my own bed
• read an entire book for fun
• jumped on a trampoline
• enjoyed the fall weather (that has finally arrived)
• consumed yummy food and much needed margaritas
  
• gone to the movies
• ignored some deadlines in order to do these things.

And it has been wonderfully renewing.

I will be ready to return to the hospital on Monday.
