Oh friends.

...

Somedays I would love to quit my job, walk out without even glance in my rearview.  You see, there are highs and lows.  The highs are so high, and the lows are so low.

This weekend was low.  So low that my first day off has become a game.  A silly ruse trying to stay busy in an attempt to keep myself from replaying the unfortunate events and therefore losing my mind.  Guilt, sorrow, confusion, and more guilt at the fact I am dwelling and not focusing on my baby.  This baby needs my positive thoughts, not my negative feelings on something I could not control.

So dear blogging world - how do you leave the unfortunate aspects of work at work?

    Bless you. I now work in a less demanding department with a lovely bunch of people and I don't very often think of work related issues at home anymore, but I used to. I used to play over situations in my mind and worry before shifts when I knew I had to work on a ward I did not like the next day. That was horrible.
    I'm not being any help an I!
    We spend so much time at work and I decided to try and make the best out of every situation, turn a negative into positive to the best of my ability whenever I can and spread as much love as I can. Sounds corny, but I do try to do that.
    Much love to you. Look after yourself.xxx
