Sweet baby jebus has smiled upon me today. He has allowed me to be cancelled for the entire day. Believe me it was a much needed day off! I know I will feel this when payday rolls around, but my body is way thankful at the moment.
I could not sleep very well last night and when I checked my message this morning to find out I was cancelled for the first four hours, my heart jumped for joy (not literally). In the cheap ass facility where I work they insist on cancelling you for four hours at a time (insert resentful look here). So basically I am not pain, but expected to remain on call the entire day.
So with the additional four hours this morning I decided to strap on my New Balance and Ipod and go for a run. My thinking was that if I got the blood pumping it would wake me up in case I was called into work later. I ran a pathetic 3 miles, but I did find a good steady pace around mile one. However, I remained slug like when I came home.
The second call came and informed me I was cancelled for 4 additional hours - so I called in and told them to shelf me for the day. They promised to try. Thankfully, it was to be and I finally was able to grab a quick nap. Now I feel the balance returning to my body. The bags under my eyes are a little less noticeable and I think with a day of lounging in bed with the dogs I will be refreshed and ready to return to work tomorrow!
