Interestingly, even though I was tired last night, and I didn’t exactly leap out of bed this morning, I did feel less tired today. There’s a lot to be said for both acknowledging that something is going on and then seeing what the causes might be. That’s actually a part of critical stress debriefing, knowing that these feelings and reactions are normal and will progress and change over time.

Today we were really busy in the apple store, which made the time go really fast. Barb brought in a crock pot full of beef stew and biscuits which was GREAT since Ian and I had been on duty alone for part of the busy morning and so our lunch breaks got delayed til about 2. When I thanked Barb later, she admitted that her secret recipe was Campbells. Let me tell you – it was mighty tasty! The crockpot idea worked out really well, so maybe next week I’ll make my chicken glop: chicken (usually thighs), keilbasa, tomatoes, kidney beans and rice. Heck. I could even do that with left over turkey.
