We must take time for ourselves. Time to be quiet and reflect on life in general. Sometimes going through a time of quiet can help us to find solutions or see the answers to things that are bothering us. It's a form of withdrawal but, a healthy one that is sometimes necessary to get through stressful times.
It's been a busy weekend in the unit I clean so, I don't expect today to be any better. We'll see. Patients get upset when we're busy because they don't understand we have a nursing shortage and that the unit is full. No bed means no care. They were short a nurse last night as well. Some nights there's only one tech as well. We need to be more understanding of the situation healthcare workers are in now. Most of us work shorthanded with no vacations and very little pay. We are burnt out and exhausted. We are doing the best we can. Plus sometimes our bosses aren't very understanding even though they know we can't help it. They sometimes don't give a sh*t about us. So at some point I will be looking for a desk job. Not sure when just yet. Hoping it will be calmer and less exhausting.
I want to try to start exercising this coming week. Monday through Friday. Weekends are my own. I may have to build up to it. It's been a while. I'd like to get some of this weight off.
Have a lovely Sunday.
