night and day

after three 7pm-7am shifts in a row, i suppose it is too much to ask to adjust back normally in one day to a regular work-hour circadian rhythm. sigh.

this ER rotation has catalyzed a transient role reversal between me and the hubs, however... one that i am not minding in the least! cooking is usually my responsibility, but given that i am essentially useless and unable (or unwilling) to do anything but stuff my face and sleep when i'm at home in between shifts, my intrepid hubby has taken up that mantle- at least over the weekend. i've been so happy to come home to hearty home-cooked breakfasts, and waking up to eat a healthy dinner before my shift... all prepared by the hubs himself. notable differences in our cooking styles- he's a lot more conscious/parsimonious with salt and fat. his menu choices tend to be driven by whatever was on sale at the market. he tends towards simple, clean presentation. all excellent contrasts to what he calls my "taste-driven" style (i.e. whatever tastes good, and damn the cost/calories). oh, i am so grateful... and making a point of showering him with lots of positive reinforcement ;)
