A Busy Weekend

Have you ever experienced a lull at work, one that lasts so long that when you actually get busy again you start to resent it? That was my weekend. Saturday evening I had two calls, one house call and one at a hospice facility. The house call is a direct cremation, the family will be coming in Monday afternoon to make arrangements. The other call was preneed, with the family out of state. Everything will be handled by phone and fax. This morning I had another house call, this time with embalming. That was after I went in this morning, made the telephone arrangements and took a body to the crematory. I had only been home a couple of hours and was just about to fix lunch when I got called out. I knew this call was coming, as the family had come in a week or so ago to make some preliminary arrangements. Between the lack of sleep, the heat and humidity and the embalming, I'm wore out, and it's not even Monday yet.
