Sunday morning

    We are in our usual spot, doggie and me the front veranda in the sun reading the papers. Well I am reading she sniffing and sleeping. Sniffing must be like reading the paper to her only reading the air. We have lost lots of those intelligences smell and sight hearing, at least if not lost not paid attention to. We still have more of them than we think. We can do amazing things like in tennis hitting a ball to exactly the spot we want sometimes anyway. It's an amazing calculation all done in a spit second. 

     I've only worked one day this week. I want to work regular shifts in this the twilight of my "career" but of course that doesn't happen so I had a sickie as they had rostered me on one of the golf days. I have to make decision about leaving or going on the casual pool or plodding along taking sickies when they roster me on days I don't want to work. I don't feel too guilty as the casual pool girls haven't been getting much work so they get my shift. They employed four nurses on contact for winter, they have gone now so we are short again. Such meanness through, all that effort those girls made to learn the place and now they are out, I guess they are on the casual pool again. My husband sent me this graphic, I wonder if our "winter staffing" is included in this. Really the cynicism of the leaders wears you down, we have just had a big investigation into a bunch of very rich politicians and business leaders and a union leader's scheme to enrich themselves at the publics expense. Now they are going to decide if they are going to charge them with anything. On past form they won't be charged. I won't even get into the investigation of church paedophilia. Too sad. Enough of the barbarians at the gate.
