So on Sunday morning, the mumster got herself up at 4:30am to watch the rugby. Most Kiwis love the rugby, from little kids to oldies, we think that most people would have watched. We are so proud of our boys, they have worked so hard and are good examples of honest hard working athletes. There are very few stories of them misbehaving out in public in their off hours. Most are young fathers, farmers, students, lawyers and all give back to the community here.
Mum and I had a quiet morning, then mum went and met her lovely niece for a chitchat and for some dinner. They had some tasty Asian food and enjoyed a lovely sunny evening out. Mum got herself home at a reasonable time, watched a bit of tele and put her her feet up. Then mum got a call to go to work to help out for a case. She got to work before midnight, and then they called to say they had a more urgent patient, and wouldn't need her for 4-5 hours.
So mum slipped home and curled up in bed next to me. She then woke herself up after 5am and got up and got me some breakfast. She was just back under the covers and the phone went at 5.50am. So back to work she went. This time she got to get all of her stuff set up, and then sat there for a half hour before they decided they did not need her.
So she went and did a couple of little jobs to help out, changed back into her clothes and was able to head home for the day as it was 8am, and you get to have a 9 hour break after call ins which worked out well for her. The only pain is that with such little sleep you feel hung over all day and mum was rocking a big headache. So it is early to bed for us tonight!!

ReplyDeleteOh, poor mum...that sounds like a rough day. We're so glad to be kitties and get to have as many naps as we like.

Sorry your mum had such a wonky day. My mum couldn't make it for long on strange hours and being on call.
