Matthew's Journal

Last night wasn't too bad; there's a cat with gastrotomy and jejunostomy tubes in which is a faff to feed through them, but I slept fairly well, if not as well as would be liked.

I'm saying the CCP evening prayer office before retiring for the night at c. 11pmish, and then the night prayer office before going to bed after the 3am treatments. The former is a bit longer, and has scripture readings, whereas the latter is shorter and obviously indended to be said just before going to bed. I think it works well - I do feel better about regular prayer (and the Office is a real help in this), and it's a good way to wind down and de-stress a bit before trying to sleep.

Today has been the Hills-sponsored Communication Skills day. It mostly was somewhat obvious, but it was quite fun nevertheless, and has used up much of the day. I've had a bath, and am now thinking about my anaesthesia talk. So far, so good. Better still, it looks like my Sunday-plan is going to be OK, which is with a bit of luck going to be sufficient hope to stave off any depression-doom this evening.
