I survived night 1 of night-shift. It was pretty slow, and I had to write down random thoughts into a Word Document just to stay awake and alert... wasn't a bad night though - had 5 admissions, which is more than I expected to have. The good news is I'm down to the line on the scale - 130! not 131, or a little over 130, smack dab on the line! whoo hoo! I figured I'd sleep till 3 today, but I'll just take a nap tonight before work - and I think it won't be a problem tonight because I'm still kind of groggy. I'm very thankful that I'm not too adversely affected by night shift, I'm thankful that I didn't forget to do stuff, I'm thankful that I'm bringing home a paycheck. I really don't want to "take a lunch break" because I'll be getting out before 7:15 9 times out of ten I imagine, but Diane told me to, so I feel like it would be bad for me not to. Well, anyways - Lord I pray you would provide for us, even though I know I don't have to ask, and that you already will/have! I pray that you would provide me with energy, and will-power to resist over-eating to keep myself awake at night, and I pray that my dad would find a job, and that he would be comforted in you, and find peace in you. Please, Lord - take care of my father. I pray you would be with my grandfather too, Lord. I pray you would give him strength, and I pray most of all that he would come to know you well before he passes. Thank you, for your mercy and grace. Thank you for your many blessings. Amen.

Love, Sara
