Long Weekend

I'm such a sucker. I have a part-time job on weekends. I have a full-time salary job during the week. Part of what I at my full-time job involves teaching families how to manage type 1 diabetes (everything; answering their questions and explaining the disease, how to use the blood glucose meter, how to measure & give insulin, how to count carbs, how & when to check ketones, etc). This past Thursday we had THREE new-onset kids come to our hospital. I can't leave these families hanging all weekend. So here I am, coming into the hospital late afternoon on Saturday (after my weekend job). And today I'll be doing the same thing. But maybe I'll be home at 7p tonight instead of Saturday's 9:30p.
But it's for a good reason. All three families will be able to go home today, rather than Monday or even Tuesday (which would have happened if I didn't go the hospital this weekend). And that makes me feel good about being tired.
