OK - sick & tired of being sick & tired. No gym for 2 weeks, aIltho I have managed to walk the pups most days. I managed to work last night for the 8 hour shift - and it was not fun. Even at full strength, it wouldn't have been fun (short-staffed, busy, lots of pending admits without beds to send them to). Anyhow, I'm trying to psych myself up by humming the Rocky theme.

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive


So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive


Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger



Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive


chorus

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
