Another week of on-call behind me

Well, I made it! I made it through another on-call week. It was really an easy week (although I hate to say that because I don't want to jinx my next on-call week) but even the easy week is sleep deprived and just the stress of being on-call is exhausting. So, I checked out at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon, picked the girls up from a fun day of building props for the Sound of Music, took them to get "pedis" and then went home and got into bed. I don't know why, but the very best thing about getting off-call is getting into bed, on Joey's side and going to sleep. Sleep, beautiful sleep with no cell phone ringing to remind me that the process on server A has stopped, or may have stopped, or really hasn't stopped but for some reason it decided to send out an alert anyway. Sleep, sleep, it is the most restful, luxurious sleep and I don't know what it is that is so comforting about getting into Joey's spot but I awake feeling completely refreshed and at ease.

Either tonight, or tomorrow, I am planning to go to Hastings and purchase my first book to read in 2009. As you can see from the sidebar, I have added my name to the list of people who accepted the challenge for The Year of Reading Dangerously. I am still learning how all these really cool blog things work, but this one looked easy enough. For my first book, I have chosen A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. I have seen the movie and always wanted to read the book, but never have.
