Thursday

Work has been crazy busy. Not sure how long I'll be able to keep up the pace.

Our new owners are presently closing one of their other facilities. They're bringing 2 of the nurses from that facility to our facility. Actually both of those nurses started orientation at our facility today.
So now I understnad why they fired one of my co-workers lastweek. I feel bad for her. I can't help but worry who they will fire next in order to open up another position.
So I asked the HR lady. The HR lady told me there was discussion about who should be let go. That "they" went down the list of nurses and discussed each one. She said my job is safe.
Do I believe her? I believe that she believes my job is safe. But you never know what people are going to do. Their loyalties aren't with me. It's with the people they've been working with for years. Including the 2 nurses who were in orientation today.
So I go from being worried to thinking..... whatever.

Daughter left a note and a banana muffin on the table for me to find this morning.
The note said
"I know I'm 16 and growing up......but don't forget....no matter what...I'm still YOUR little girl. I love you. Have a good day....be safe and wear your seatbelt. Emily."

A.Is she feeling guilty for growing up? B.Is she worrying she won't be my baby if she grows up? C.Does she think I'm sad because she's growing up, and she's trying to reassure me? Well, because I am who I am.....I asked her. She said she thinks it makes me sad that she's growing up. I tired to explain to her best as I could that all parents probably have mixed feelings, including sad feelings about their children growing up...........but that doesn't mean we don't want our children to grow up and be independent.........I also reassured her that she'll always be my girl, and I'll always love her.
