Work 3 days over Christmas

Woke up in night and then eventually got up 9 but didn't really feel like Christmas Day but Christmas film on a TV. By 10.30 Rachel still asleep so decided would go for a run only did 2.57 miles non-stop but was raining lightly. When got in Rachel still in bed but Vanessa and Roberto up so opened presents from each she got me some pj's and Vaneesa liked her bracelet. Rachel eventually got up 11.30 and then eventually open rest of presents after 12 got purse from Lou and Nat got me Clairns cream set. Rachel got me Swarovski necklace, Nat in South Africa got me star scarf and Hayley had got me chocolates. Wasn't really sure if Rachel liked her nicole fendel bracelet but at least was unique to Australia as made by Melbourne designer and Vanessa also kindly got Rachel some earrings. We hadn't really said what we were doing for Christmas but Vanessa and Roberto ended up making lunch which was very nice as hadn't expected it. It wasn't like my usual Christmas Day food but still very nice had Roast chicken with pineapple and carrot dressing, potato & chicken salad and bread. Was all very nice but definitely had plenty off chicken and then their all took me to work as raining. Think Rachel was abit disappointed as was hoping would be able to go to Bondi a Beach but decided against since raining. Once at work only open to 10 patients but 1 patient been specialised so spilt the ward so ended up only having 3 patients each. So had a very nice shift all my patients were independent but unfortunately couldn't find my Secret Santa present. We all put reindeer antlers on so felt abit more Christmassy also since quiet gave me chance to do some off my e-learning. When left was raining so Jin very kindly gave me lift but only dropped me off at train station but at least kept me dry but then stupidly left umbrella in her car. I then thought I best phone Tiago to wish him Happy Christmas but not opened his presents from me yet as wanted to do with me and was fine. Once home speak home at 10.30pm with Rachel to everyone all at Sharon's was nice but Ellie getting cheeky kept saying 'No Mummy'. Also was the first time seen Nanna since hip operation and looked so well also won't be long now til Mum and Dad here. Rachel then insisted that I have wine since Christmas so had a glass with Vanessa's homemade bread then bed 11.30pm. Woke up before alarm have cup of tea then go to work at work I was specialing patient which was nice for a change so had nice shift. Since Boxing Day decided we would have take away bit not many places so ended up having pizza and Jin very kindly treated so all by paying for it all. Finished before 3 which must of been a first time for us but took longer to get home as shopping centre shut since public holiday. Once back home was home alone as Rachel gone out with Vanessa and Roberto for the day into the city sale shopping. Was thinking off going for a swim but sounded very noise with kids so instead just sat on balcony to read my book. I then made tea a Thai green chicken curry for later for everyone as would celebrate Xmas again. Everyone else got in 6ish and Rachel likes shopping but couldn't believe how busy it was in the city and bought nothing which was a surprise. But Vanessa and Roberto got some things Roberto got so e new tennis which he wanted but think had nice day. Tiago arrived 7ish and I finished making tea curry with rice but ended up making too much rice which is what I usually do. It wasn't the best Thai green curry that I have made but went down well apart from Roberto thought it was abit too hot. For pudding we had Xmas pudding with brandy custard which no-one had had before and even Tiago tried as not a big dessert fan. It was then mince pies with brandy cream which Tiago decided against having which in away wish I had as so full. Vanessa and Roberto preferred mince pies to Christmas pudding which most people seem to. We then chilled for abit watching TV then I went to Tiago's just before 11pm not sure Rachel pleased about it but can't keep everyone happy. Got to his just after 11 and his parents had been Boxing Day sake shopping at Bondi Junction got loads was boxes everywhere. Went straight to his room not sure when went to sleep but woke up 6ish so woke Tiago up and awake for abit then woke up 9.30. But somehow we still didn't get moving til 11.30 and Tiago never ended up opening presents but said will open later. Left his just after 12 and once home Rachel waiting to go out to the beach whilst I got changed for work Tiago went to get coffee. At work now open to 12 patients so I ended up looking after 6 patients but still not that busy did more e-learning and helped other nurse do hers. Had nice shift even had a nurse floating who did most of my obs for me but nothing eventful just the usual high temperature. Finish before 10pm and Michelle gave me lift home and waited til Rachel let me in before she left. Once in had last mince pie and cup of tea then phone Mum to check ready to leave tomorrow and packed my dresses. Went to bed midnight and woke up 6ish to go to the toilet and back to sleep.
