Sleep has been an elusive luxury for me these past few weeks. I surely can't sleep straight in daylight, so I've been a walking zombie ever since we took the graveyard shift at the hospital. It's fun, except for the fact that we still have to attend our classes the next day. At Thursdays, we go straight to school still fresh from RMC's delivery room. This means lack of sleep, lack of a bath/shower, lack of energy, and lack of sanity.
Last night was toxic, having these mothers giving birth one after another. It's like they were having a contest of whose baby gets out first. The little critters were lined up before being sent for rooming-in. They were crying their now functional lungs out -- a few more deliveries and we were ready to cry with them. It was total mayhem! I was so tired, but seeing those little hands and feet which reminded me of the first time I saw my son was worth the catastrophe the delivery room has to offer.
Mick already called, and I can't help but cry knowing that he is okay after that hurricane in Florida (where they are cruising right now). Mick laughed and relished the moment of me going ga-ga over his safety. Mahal ko daw pala talaga siya! Haaay, men! They feast on our emotional nature!
Gotta go. Need to sleep.
