I wanted this to feel more like a creative essay than a usual post, so I appreciate that a lot!C. N.

Great posting though. It conveys directly but with great economy the combined tensions and 'ordinariness' of the commitment.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681522276752048718.post-2822788290160229342011-08-08T06:21:36.274-04:002011-08-08T06:21:36.274-04:00Ooh.

Pssssh.<br /><br />@Frances - Thanks, I think I do pretty well. There are definitely some nights when I really, really hope I don't get woken up. <br /><br />Night nursing always seems a bit brutalizing, especially in nursing homes and wards that don't see a ton of night activity.C.

My doctor son said he could no longer cope with being on call at night when he reached his mid-thirties and had small kids to deal with. He reckons it's for the young, so you must be very young, Nevets! But I bet you do a good job.Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681522276752048718.post-35547321161944028182011-08-05T05:08:39.538-04:002011-08-05T05:08:39.538-04:00Sleep is for the weak.
Well, in all seriousness, ...Sleep is for the weak.<br /><br />Well, in all seriousness, that sounds horrible.
