All in a day… by Tracy
Sometimes life can be quite busy. The other day was an amzing mix so I thought I’d share it.
Started early – up at 5.30 for a morning shift in the post natal ward. Channel 9 (Dunedin local TV) ring in the middle of the shift. Can I do an interview about our collective? Sure. Didn’t get away until an hour later than I’m supposed to finish as things got a bit intense right on change over time. Starting to feel rushed.
Then off to see a 4 week baby – rushing to get there as they are heading away. Asked Dad if he knows that snow is forecast tonight. Hope their car heater is working well! Oh, can I borrow a scarf please? – I’m about to go on TV and I only just found out.
Off to channel 9. A few minutes to look at the questions. Feel I’ve come up with some pretty good answers. 3 minutes live on air. My tummy feels strange and suddenly my pretty good answers are quite average but no major stuff up so PHEW! As I’m leaving I ask – how many people watch? About 40,000 she tells me . Glad I didn’t ask that before hand!
Back outisde. Ooh there’s a real storm brewing. Off to my Te Reo lesson -just settling in and then goes the phone.
Through the hail to a lovely home birth. Margaret comes as back up and only just makes it home again as the snow settles on her hill. Mum and baby are doing well so I take my leave. The Dad helps me load back into my car and we are both pummeled with hail.
On the drive home, midnight chimes – that was quite a day.
