It’s been a busy February here. I attribute it to the unseasonably spring-like weather we’ve been having. I’m also working weekends which lends itself to business. I feel unsettled and restless after coming home from work tonight. Miss Abby was sleeping when I got home and my husband has an early morning so needed to go right to bed. Probably for the best. I’m a little out of sorts. I don’t have a good explanation. We didn’t have any traumatic incidents or otherwise out of the ordinary calls. I sat call taking and did a few breaks for the 6 hours I worked tonight (I took some time off today). I took a whole lot of calls. Maybe its just my mind processing through the ones that I didn’t have time to think about while I was taking them? I don’t really have anything specific to write about. I just needed to put down somewhere that I feel unsettled. Maybe its the complaint that was filed against me by a user agency last night. Yes, I missed something and I’m willing to take responsibility for that but there are so many factors involved that I can’t help wishing they could see that too. Of course, I can’t go into details. It doesn’t matter what the contributing factors are in this line of work. Wrong is wrong. There are no mistakes. That’s not why I feel unsettled though. That’s just life. Maybe its because I’ve been sick, for weeks? Everytime I get over this cough it just morphs into a different type of cough just as disruptive (ever tried taking an emergency call & having to click off multiple times to cough?) to the job. Maybe its this headache that has been dogging me all day? I don’t know. Just more excuses. There are dishes in the sink that need to be loaded in the dishwasher..which needs to be emptied. The living room is full of laundry that has been folded but not put away & laundry that needs to be folded. There is stuff everywhere. I need to take care of it. But I’m tired. Really really tired. And my head hurts. It’s not going to get done tonight, again. I really hope no one reads my blog. I just needed to get this out to find some peace so I can rest tonight. If I lock it up here in this file then I don’t have to lock it up in me. I hope I don’t get called in early tomorrow morning. I’m going to try to go to a ladies group before work.. It means an early morning, but its something I really need. Goodnight.
Feeling Unsettled, but really, this isn’t worth reading its just for me

sorry Roxanne… there are a couple of us reading your blog fairly regularly. Brandy and I read this and we are both praying for you.
Well if I realllly didn’t want anyone to read it I guess I wouldn’t “publish” it
These are only moments. Most of the time I feel normal LOL
