OK, so it's day two and this is my second entry! So far so good. As I said yesterday, I really got spoiled and didn't want to go to work today. I was sleeping soundly when at about 5 am, Mike's alarm starts beeping. After a while I punched him to wake him up, but then I was awake and aggravated! I do think he could sleep right through the loudest alarm and I can be awaken when my alarm is turned off and just makes a soft tick sound at the time it would beep. I really hate to be awakened that early and not be able to go back to sleep. I usually lay there and worry until it's time for me to get up and get ready for work. Finally, after 10 or 15 minutes, I must have fallen back asleep and slept soundly until 6:20.

I really enjoy watching (or listening to) the TV early in the morning. I never get to do so, because it would disturb Mike, so when he goes hunting I turn on the TV and listen to the Early Show. I watch Channel 16, the ABC affiliate and then Good Morning America. I like to see Robin Roberts... she's a Mississippi gal and I enjoy her interviews. I DO NOT like Diane Sawyer and generally tune her out when she's on.

Work was busy today... I started right at 8:00 and was busy, busy until 11:35 when I stopped to eat lunch. Remember me telling yesterday how awful hospital food is... well guess what they had today after all the holiday meals we've had? Yep! Ham and turkey and dressing - hospital style! HaHa I ate a bowl of turnip greens and my apple and went back to work. It was 4:36 when I looked at the clock on my computer. It was time to go home.

Rather than going home, I decided to go look for Christmas Cards for 2009. I was headed to Hallmark, but at the last minute decided to go to Target.... WOW what a sale they were having. All their Christmas stuff was 75% off. I got lots of cards, Christmas lights, wrapping paper, bows, bags, and a few other fun things - a whole buggy load and when I checked out I had 5 bags of stuff and it only cost $37. It will be fun to drag it all out next year and not have to go buy lights and paper and bows and even as couple of gifts.

I got home about 6:45 and Mike got in right behind me. We had left over ham and cheese sandwiches and hot dogs for supper. I read the paper and now I am ready to settle down and maybe watch a good movie before bedtime. Tomorrow will be another busy day at Crossgates River Oaks Hospital.

After work tomorrow, I plan to go to Hancock Fabrics and get some muslin to bind the quilt I finished quilting. After we get the Christmas stuff down, I plan to baste in the next quilt and get it in the quilt frame. It will be a sampler that we did in the guild I used to belong to. I'll keep you up on how the quilting goes. I usually have big plans to quilt an hour or so each night, but never fulfill those plans.
