1st nights, running and flights booked

Where is the time going now my seventh week of work 14-18th August. And my first lot of night this week not really sure what to expect. So on the Tuesday didn't start til 3.30 which was nice but wasn't sure what to do with my time. So decided I would go for a run again tried to get all the way round with no success. Got too a muddy bit couldn't see any other way so turned round ended up doing about 3 and half miles. The shift at work was ok just strange staring at 3.30.
Then early on 15th all I can really remember is using lots of yellow aprons. As I seemed to be looked after the infection rooms, nice for me. Went for run after work only 2.2 miles today. Then I spoke to Mum and Sharon on Skype later on to just go through flights again before I book. As aim to get the booked tomorrow when off
On Thursday day off and not really sure what to do. So sat on balcony since a nice day to catch a few rays and read my book. Went to try and sort out flight but still couldn't decide as had a other option to fly to heathrow and then get train from there. Priced it up and think Manchester still the best offer. Also good time to book as got paid today, yippee and tax now sorted..
On Friday start my night so technically off all day. Thought would have lie in and trust me to wake up relatively earlier at 9.30. Had a lazy went for a run only just over 2miles. Then in afternoon thought best go get flights sorted. First went to library to print off price off flights then will give you that price. So went to Flight Centre and could have the flights I wanted flying Sydney to Manchester. Leaving 31st October arriving Manchester 1st November via hong kong and heathrow. Then coming back leave 7th November, so is a very sort visit. But am sure it will be worth it got $20 as had voucher. If pay by card costs extra $40, luckily bank so withdrew money. Afterwards was so excitable wanted to text everyone met Bianca at Rhodes.
Then I thought best go home to get ready for my nights. Nights start at 21.30 and actually had my own 10 patients. The nights here are definitely a lot better than back at home have 4 staff all night. Also most of patients are better independent some need help. Luckily I slept alright after first one finished at 7.30 and then straight. Was probably asleep for 8.30 at latest and got up about 3.30 so not bad. So this run nearly 8mikes which isn't too bad just doing short ones at first to get me to used to it again.
On Saturday spoke to mum and dad who were very excited that I am now coming home. It's just a shame I couldn't of had 2 weeks really, but will be nice to see everyone again. Then back to do my last night as only doing 2 this time, which is nice. 2nd night was busier as people kept buzzing or shouting out. I also think my handover went better in morning probably because I knew patients more.
