There is a strange time vortex that happens with "On Calls." They start on one day, finish the next morning, and conclude around noon that day, after our classes, group work and lunch. Time flies!It's not uncommon for me to start charting a call that occurred at 5am the following day of starting "On-Call" and forgetting that it's actually another day gone by - it happened today, not yesterday, which was of course tomorrow when this shift started.
Confused? Try staying up for 30 hours and then having a case study due. That will clear it up.
Fortunately, God is there in the midst of each On Call. God was there, is there and will be there.
...And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20b
Which moment are you in at this time?
I definitely resonate with getting my days confused, and I feel for you having your case study consultation after being on call (can someone say torure?). I'm on call now, it's Saturday, but likely tomorrow will feel more like Saturday than today does. But then I'll have to be back at work the next day. What happened to Sunday? What will happen to my weekend?! Arg.
