SuRpRiSe! NiGhT sHiFt

It's 10 past four in the morning and my eyes feel a little bug eyed. Not feeling too bad considering the day I had yesterday madly entertaining and having my ears talked completely off. The worrisome thing will be the hour long drive home at 7am while I have the radio blasting and the frosty air streaming through an open window to wake myself up.
I must also remember to get petrol before I head back out to wherever the hell it is I live. I still haven't exactly decided on the title of the area in which we live - it's kind of between many places. Perhaps it might be best if I pick up a 'V' at the servo while I'm fueling up.
The shift has been pleasant enough with mild interruptions to the chit chat natter I have been sharing with a fellow RN. No sleep was achieved this shift, and with the buzzers going off every hour or so I'd say I wouldn't have gotten any anyway. Them's the breaks.
A baby is stirring now and my ears are super tuned in to whether it is a hungry cry, a dirty/wet nappy cry or just a pick me up cry...And now it's all quiet on the home front again...for now.
Well I must away and do some more notes and make another espresso coffee deluxe with a sledgehammer twist. I won't have any trouble falling asleep when I get home that's for sure. I have been awake for just over 22hrs and I still have another 4 and a half to go. I know I can make it. Yes I can! Yes I can! ZZZZzzzzzz
