Picnic

Didn't work today. I swapped my regular shift for Tuesday because the Tuesday medic needed the day off. I was going to pick up a city shift, but today they had a reunion picnic for everyone who went on the Dominican trip. It was a beautiful day. We sat out by the pool. They had chicken and pork, and rice and beans. I stopped at Las Americas and bought friend green plantains, cassava, alcuppuria, and sweet plantains stuffed with meat. I also brought twelve Presidentes, of which I had three.

It was great to see everyone and talk about another trip.

Still when you work as much as I do, even a day off can give you withdrawl. If I hadn't had the beers I probably would have called in and asked to work a shift.
