Feeling Rushed

Prompt: When do you feel rushed?

Getting ready to go grocery shopping. I have to clean out the cat box, feed kitty and get dressed. It takes me a half hour to get ready. Making supper. Frying pork chops, making potatoes and a vegetable or making spaghetti and garlic bread.

Cleaning house. Dishwasher is running, I do a load of laundry, cleaning bathrooms and the kitchen.

When I worked and had to stay over to pass AM Meds, I had 20 patients to give Meds to give Meds to. Some patients would take 20 pills at a time. I may have had to do a blood pressure on a person. I had to chart the Meds. Charting meds takes awhile. I worked midnights and staying awake was hard enough. Arguing with the patients. They didn't want to get up and take Meds. They would fight with each other. I had to do insulin and time was a factor. It was rough.

I like to do things at my own pace. Rushing causes problems and errors.
