Day 44: Kidnapped

Today was one of the longest days. Ever.

It's my own fault. I was co-presenting with my co-worker, Sara, on a voice disorders conference we attended at Boston Children's Hospital back in May. My version of Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 was acting up last night, so I had to get to work early this morning to finalize my portion of the 8am presentation. I got to work around 6:45am and drank my entire iced coffee before 7am. I finished all my work just in time, and the presentation went well! The rest of my day was filled with meetings, back-to-back-to-back patients, and lots of paperwork. Since I  have Fridays off (and since I'm taking my first day off of the entire year this Monday), I needed to get all my notes/discharge summaries/plans of care done, so that I could enjoy my four-day weekend. By the time I finished the last of my notes, it was 7:15pm, and I was tired and hungry.

So, when I received a text from Sara, it made my night. She wanted to "kidnap" me, because she knew that it had been a stressful day all around... like I've said before, I love my co-workers! I got home from work a little before 8pm, had a quick dinner, and let Sara know that I was ready to be kidnapped. She picked me up and treated me to my first Sweet Frog experience, because she knows I love frozen yogurt! We sat outside, and caught up on everything going on in our lives. Nothing like a sweet treat with an amazing friend to turn that frown upside down!
