It's been a while since my last post. My last stretch at work was very busy, the ICU was overflowing. We had to put a couple of our children in the recovery room across the hall because there was no room in the unit. By the end of my four shifts I was exhausted as were all my team members. We were ready for a much needed break.

I just returned from a quick trip to Nova Scotia to visit my parents. It's still nice & green there. You would never know they got a major dump of snow last week.

My parents are doing reasonably well. Mom has her good & bad days. I guess that's to be expected. Dad does a great job taking care of her.

Mom & I got some shopping done, she was very pleased about that & I think Dad was very glad he didn't have to go! We had a very nice Turkey dinner on Friday with my daughter & her boyfriend. It was fun to have everyone together even if it was just a short time.

My sister and her girls met me for lunch at the airport today. I always enjoy the company while waiting for my flight.

The flight back to Ottawa via Montreal was good. Quite bumpy between Halifax & Montreal. Hard to read with the words jumping all over the place. I'm not sure how the flight attendant was able to serve everyone with the amount of turbulance we had.

Back to work tomorrow. Hopefully things have settled down a bit. Then the best part...my return to Florida on Friday for my days off. I can't wait!

Take Care & Keep Smiling!
