Christmas Plans 2024!

Sadly, this year is not my year for Christmas. It's being hosted with the family back in Wakefield, but sadly I'm working Christmas Day night shift which is a little disheartening. I had annual leave granted last year but of course, with grandma passing away and not spending it as a family altogether, it didn't really feel like Christmas so I was really hoping for a proper Christmas celebration this year instead.

My plan is to go back to Wakefield of Christmas Eve morning because I'm working the day before, and then heading back to Nottingham on Christmas Day at 4pm. That gives me an hour and a half to drive back, then an hour to unload the care, unpack, get ready for work and drive to work. 

The one good thing is possibly that I have been moved to the postnatal ward and I am coordinating, so hopefully I will be able to have a nice shift, with very few patients and a lovely break where I can have a quick nap. It'll be the first time I've ever had a night shift without a nap so wish me luck! I hope you all have a lovely Christmas!
