At least I have a goal.

I am so unbelievably tired. It seems like all I do right now is work and sleep. Oh wait, that's because all I do right now is work and sleep. But there is a goal. Just need to get the down payment together. It will happen. It has to happen.

In the past, when I was a staff nurse instead of pool, I never could have worked as much as I am right now. But now I feel like I am going to work because I want to, not because I have to. Even on that fifth day, there is freedom. And I have a goal in mind. I won't have to work like this forever. I can do this. As long as I don't think of anything else I could be doing during the week. Work, sleep, and eat. That is all I have time to do right now.

We worked right through Thanksgiving. It was hard to pass up the opportunity to work. I really didn't miss it. We ate at work. My second family. I have been through tough times with those people. We have seen some action. They are my war buddies.

The only thing I really missed about Thanksgiving was dressing and mashed potatoes. I need to have Mom make that for me when we go visit in December. I like it best when she makes the dressing anyway.
