How I love quiet days where the seasons are changing. It's been a rough week of call for me. I worked 10 hours Monday (4 of which with a demented patient who repeated called me stupid, disrespectful, incompetent, etc etc). Then I was called out from 8 pm to 2 am. Yesterday they made my shift a day call, but called me in at 7 am. I was home by 4 pm and didn't have to go back after that, luckily. This weekend I'm on call again, Saturday 6 am to Monday 6 am. Fingers crossed that it doesn't get too crazy.
But all that's behind me now because I'm home with my family and my craft room and my kitchen! I have lemon cookies on the counter and lilies and pussy willows from my mom. There's a yeasty smell in the air from a batch of Charlotte's Famous French Bread rising in my oven. Friends are coming over tonight to watch Sherlock and enjoy a potluck dinner. I have 7 skeins of home-spun yarn setting their twists on racks in the sunshine. I'm blocking a rainbow beanie hat that I made this week for Ben using yarn I spun. I knit a swatch of yarn to gauge a spring-time, light weight sweater for Jack. Jack is napping, perfectly on schedule. He still takes 2 naps a day, usually 1-2 hours each! It gives us lots of quiet, adult time to work on projects. We have plans to see Hunger Games as a date tomorrow afternoon while Jack plays at his friend's house. Today I need to take him to the library, and maybe to Sunflower for their blackberry sale.
Happy Spring!
