The only way I get through something like that is to figure out exactly how much money I am making for the extra shift, and then spend the whole time planning what little luxury I am going to spend it on.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Your tag here.
the overnight person had the hood of her car open, fly up and break her windshield while on the freeway.
That's pretty creative. Most people just call in sick.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thank you all for your support.
I'm considering letting her sweat it out: Not saying yay or nay until later this evening. This will give her a chance to find someone else, maybe. And also, what I wanna know is, if I end up working 11pm-9am tonight, do I have to also come back for my 2-10pm shift tomorrow? Cuz two words: Nuh and Uh.

Gah. My DH had to do this a couple times when he was doing shift work. It will make you psychotic.

Because books.
He seems fine, otherwise.
Focus on that. I think I may start baking emergency cakes to send you for the coming week. If nothing else, the excess sugar will knock you out.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
{{{Cindy}}} Do avoid the Google. But, worrier that I am, I find it sometimes helps to ask the doctor what the worst-case scenario is, and how likely it is. That seems to help limit the catastrophizing a bit. YCopingMechanismsMV
