Yesterday all my troubles...........

The last day on my ward yesterday...Sad. We move around on Monday. Maybe a change will do me good. I had a good day though and it was stress free and happy.
One of the medical secretaries left yesterday. Her leaving do was last night and despite the fact I'd worked 12 hours, I decided to make an appearance. I did feel guilty at leaving Abby all day and night but if you know me, you'll know I don't do that very often.
We met at this Italian restaurant Valentinos which is lucky as I love Italian (and Italian food). A nice combination of non nursing staff, a few doctors and managers and people I hadn't seen for a while. The food was good and the deserts were lush as can be!
Consequently I forgot the time and had told Abby I'd be home at 10pm ish... When I checked the mobile. She'd rang 7 times. I called her back and she was sobbing uncontrollably. She thought something had happened to me. She told me the cat and the bin were still outside *important to tell me :/
Getting away however was hard because no-one wanted me to go and we were having a laugh, and I wanted desert and and and.......
So I finally left at 11pm and got home soon after. To discover that she'd got herself in such a state she'd opened a bottle of white wine and drank half of it to calm her nerves.
Oh God!! She was fine but what does that say for future stressful days?
