No snow day goes unpunished

We opened an hour late today. One of my staff could not make it in because of childcare issues. Needless to say it was a tad crazy. We were booked friday, so trying to reschedule that many people is difficult when the week was pretty full already. Doing that while being short staffed is next to impossible. But my staff rolls with the punches and patients take their clue from the staff. If we act like it is crazy, the patients feel that tension. Luckily my staff acted like it was business as usual. We were all late getting out of the office, but they seem to take it in stride.

I began to work out as soon as I got home. I hit an all new high with my sit ups and push ups today at 125 each. I'm quite proud even though I'm still not at my daily requirement of 150. Well I'll keep plugging away at it. All I can do is my best. It is like the muscles get exhausted, spasm and can't pull me up anymore. 

Really worried about the written test. The Korean keeps swimming around in my head. Is there a remedial Korean class?  I may need it. 

Really.
