worst, best, shortest day of the year...

Worst day....because sometimes no matter how hard I try...there are days like today when I feel like a very, very inadequate nurse.... when an IV start doesn't go right, when dare I say it...mistakes are made...when conversation is less than inspiring, when machines fail and frustration grows...when you just want to quit because perfection isn't obtainable and you seemed trapped in a bubble of clumsy...

Best day...because...tonight I went cross-country skiing in the dark....a warm ten degrees outside...headlamps, the most brilliant canopy of stars I've seen since I've been out here...shooting stars, fresh, slick snow....great company...and warm snow pants!
Hot cider and Christmas-y peppermint Joe-Joe's from Trader Joe's afterward!

Shortest day...sunrise at 10:07am, sunset at 3:13pm & starting tomorrow we start gaining about thirty seconds of daylight per day....Summer, here I come!
