Last night I did something I almost never do. I dozed off in front of the TV. I was exhausted and decided to crawl into bed. Just before I turned off the bedroom light, I looked at the clock. It was only 7:47 p.m. The sun was still out and I was already within five minutes of passing out with my head on my pillow!
Here's why:
We are in a transition period at work. One staff radiation therapist quit about two months ago and the new one arrives next week. So, Cindy and I have been putting in long, tiring hours as we wait for help to arrive.
Monday of this week I worked nearly twelve hours. Tuesday I worked exactly twelve hours with no break for lunch. I scarfed down a salad on the run. Wednesday I was able to leave after eight hours. Thursday, yesterday, I clocked in and out with over nine hours in between. I was exhausted.
Earlier in the week our department director, Harley, stopped by the department with two envelopes. He gave one to Cindy and one to me. Inside mine was a note of appreciation and a gift card to a restaurant.

Wow!! How nice. I love that restaurant. I can't believe we lived here for 17 yrs and had never heard of it. We met a group of Dan'e buddies from work there. That started a great relationship with us and Roadhouse. Dan likes to time it right, coming ba ck from Portland, so we can hit the one in Eugene. Yummy!
Sooo.... how was it? I hope you had a nice romantic dinner and just enjoyed each other's company. Just like you'll be doing in a couple of weeks when Dean and I get there! Well, not the romantic dinner part, but the enjoying each other's company part. Can't wait!!
