Shane and I went on a bike ride this morning. It was his idea, to see how long it would take to ride to work in the mornings. It was fun to get out on our bikes that have been much neglected in the past. The only scary part was that we had to cross the railroad tracks. Like, cross them where we weren't supposed to cross them. It takes eight minutes to get to his work from our place.
I had a good night at work on Sunday. My first smooth, uneventful night in quite some time. I worked down on the telemetry unit again (we actually call it the Step Down Unit, or SDU...in between Med-Surg and the ICU). I only had three patients, which awesome, and they did what they are supposed to do at night...sleep. Lucky me. I needed a good night.
I have a few days off now because my mom and dad are coming to visit. Just a short trip, but it will be nice to see them. So, today will be a day of house cleaning, which Shane makes fun of me for. He claims I try to make the house extra clean when we have visitors (which isn't often). But that's not really true. I think I am kind of a clean freak. I get teased about it at work, because when there is down time, I can often be found cleaning. I just like for things to be clean.
I finished Death Comes to the Archbishoplast night. It was alright. My main problem with it was that I bought it at the used book store and it smelled like mildew. Other than that, it was interesting enough. I liked Cather's other two books I have read a little more though, probably because they were about pioneers and families struggling to survive and make their way, which I find intriguing. I am now going to read Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. My dearest husband is an avid Vonnegut fan and has quite a collection of his books. I read God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater a few years ago, but that is the only Vonnegut book I have under my belt. So, Cat's Cradle it is.
