Beyond Tired

Hi Family,

I am so tired its hard to think. We have been working for 10 days straight now to get the hospital functional and ready for the full exercise. Since we hit to ground on the 7th we have been working to build the hospital, run water and power lines, inventory and setup all of the equipment in the clinical, functional, and support areas and conduct training to make sure the parts of the hospital function together. It has been exhausting. They say that tomorrow is really only a half day...but we still have to get up at 0545 and I already know we have a meeting scheduled at 0700. So a half day is relative here. I just want to take a nap.

The days are all running together here. The weekend was just another work day and really didn't feel any different from any other day. The only day that I am lookingforward to is the 27th; when we head home. On top of the training days being long and repeatitive it is cold and has been raining for the last three days. I think this only adds to my being tired.

I have some work I need to do in the hospital tonight. I am electing to do it at night becaues it is easier to get to the equipmetn after the clinicians have left for the day. In a couple days, the clinical staff will be in the full exercise and will be running day and night shifts. I am hoping all the equipment stays in good order thru the exercise.

Ok, I am going to sit and relax before I decide to go back in the hospital and work on stuff.

Love you all!!
