I have today off!!
While I was working yesterday, one of the CNA's (whose wife works on the other unit) told me one of the nurses on the other unit wanted to work today. She's trying to pick up extra hours. She's young and I am guessing trying to build her life. So, I went and asked her. She said this was correct. Especially since I was supposed to work on that unit today, she agreed to work my shift today. I got it approved from the manager on call and the deal was done.
She said she would work Wed evening also but that has to be approved first. I left a note for the HR woman about it. If that's approved, I only have Mon and Tue evenings left to work.
Have to admit I have been a bit lazy so far. One big problem is that I have so much to do around here that it's still difficult to prioritize. What I need to do is start making a to-do list on a daily basis. A master list would be good but when I list everything all at once it becomes emotionally intimidating. If I break it down into more manageable portions, I get more done.
Couple of days ago I sealed the gaps in the roof of the shed where water had been leaking in. I had sealed many of those gaps last year but the caulking was basically gone when I climbed up there. I am suspecting insects or birds ate it away. I used Dow "Great Stuff" this time, which I have used in other places with no problems. Except for the dogs. Luckily, the dogs cannot reach the roof. I still have some gaps on the sides of the shed that need more sealing but I have to go get more sealant. But the roof is sealed.
Yesterday before work I got up on the shed and applied the Elastomeric roof coating. I had done that last year as well but I guess the brand I used was crap. The new sealant was much thicker and heavier. Of course, there is also more of it and it cost more but that's okay. It is supposed to last 7 years. I can't be certain of that with the condition of the wood but it should last a while.
Now I can start using the shed for storage with a lot more confidence. So that is one task I set for today. To clear things out of the shed that are no longer needed, organize it and get the already packed boxes in the shed. That will clear space in the house so I can organize and work more effectively in the house.
I guess it's time to stop writing and start doing.
