Today I brought the book “Killing Hour” by Lisa Gardner. The cover looks familiar but I am sure I haven’t read it. Maybe it is because the cover of “A Necessary Evil” by Alex Kava has the same type of cover only hers is white and red.
It isn’t an overly thick book – I will be done with it tonight pretty easily. I believe it will take me six to eight hours to read depending on how busy I am. As its a 12 hr day – I see no point in starting it too soon. Decided to wait until 2:30 pm before I even crack it open. That is three hours away.
I broguht with me today a 50 card index card spiral that I had tucked in my bible cover. The cards are all brown with age – I put Bible verses I thought would help me get through any type of day on the cards so I wouldn’t have to carry my Bible around. I did this twenty-two years ago…no wonder they aren’t in great condition.
The verses are still good ones for pretty much any occasion but I think its time to get a new spiral and redo the cards. There are a few more verses I’d like to add as well so that sounds like a good thing to do on my vacation.
Right now I keep closing my eyes between calls trying to get rid of this awful headache. The lights are too bright but I was met with negative comments when I asked if we could turn them down some. That is the “day” shift for you. Once the evening shift comes in, the lights will be dimmed to a much more tolerable level.
Today is my son’s 28th birthday. He said he had no plans and that he was kind of down because he felt like he should be more settled into the life he envisioned by now. I told him everyone felt that way and that he’d get it figured out. Approaching thirty scares him – it’s like he is realizing that his “young” days are behind him and now it is time to step up to the plate. Time to start looking at buying a house, getting married, settling down, etc. I love him so much.
