What Did You Do Today, The 25th Or Christmas?

My wife works in a hospital, so my day was spent mostly alone, pottering about doing stuff until she came home. We will get together with her family today.

We don't have kids, and I do not have contact with my biological family.

My wife is a District Nurse, she worked yesterday until 1pm, I prepared dinner, she is working all day today, there are two street lamps in the yard that haven’t worked for a while, I’m going to strip them down and make a list of parts required to make them LED. The time alone does allow a recharge.

I am looking forward to ‘cold cuts’ and chips tonight.

My mum is a triage nurse at the emergency department at our local hospital. Normally she will be working at Christmas but this year she got it off, I was so pleased, she works much too hard IMO. Next Christmas I expect she'll be working. She's working this afternoon and tonight.

That's shocking. I know people don't do it for rewards but you would think she would get more than that, I know from my mum that it's very hard work and long hours. Maybe when she retires she'll get a cup and a voucher for the coffee?

Yes, unfortunately people don’t stop being ill over Christmas, you just get used to it in the end. She did get a Christmas present from the NHS, a plastic coffee cup with a lid, unfortunately they have to buy their own coffee, not bad for 15 years of service!
