The long way home

I've just finished a long stretch of shifts with only one day off in between and I have a couple of days off now. I've been really lucky and it's been busy on the unit so I've gotten to see a lot of interesting things. I just came off of four nights and I slept all day! Now I have to try to get back into a daytime schedule because I work days on Thursday. I'm excited because on Friday I'm going up to Tuktoyaktuk-usually just called Tuk. It's about two hours north of here right on the arctic ocean. They have these cool geographical anomalies called Pingos which are just parts of land that rise up through the permafrost and look really cool. They also have ice freezers which are underground freezers made for storing food. They're about 30 feets below the surface and the pictures I've seen look really cool. I will make sure to take lots of pictures of my day trip! I'm going with my rpeceptor Sharon, her husband and a few other nurses Alana, Chantale and Robyn. I think it's going to be a really great day.

I also booked my flight home on Thursday! I fly out of here on the 18th around 1:30 and I'll get to Edmonton around 7:00 my time. I haven't actually booked a flight from Edmonton to Toronto but I plan to this week-hopefully I'll be able to get a deal and arrive sometime on Monday morning. My trip has been fantastic but I'm feeling ready to come back home. I will definitely think about coming up here again though!
