Weekend wrap-up … Contrary

I think it’s something when a 92 year old says to you, “… well at least you have your head on straight …”.  I had just popped in to her room to draw blood per the request of the medical floor she was on.  “Thanks”, I said aloud while thinking, ‘Wow – if this is …

I’m OK – and you’re OK – cuz I say so ….

So – after commiserating with co-workers, it has been decided … I’m not ‘demented’, depressed (*inappropriately so), or an alcoholic (*when compared to my cohorts) … so all is well!  Bring on the Senior ED!!! In other news – Yoda Kei is routinely taking 4 tsp+ per feeding … way up from previous weeks …  And …

And on the 5th day …

Patiently waiting for my kiln to cool down so I can remove the pieces … yea, so I’m not so patient … I took some pictures still in the kiln.  I’m not sure I like my big fall slab in this mold.  I may rework it … But I do like some of the other …

The tickets are bought … the deal is done!

Woohoo!! I’m going on VACATION!!!  The DH and I try to get away every year, but some years – it’s a question mark … can we financially swing it?  The mystery has been solved yet once more.  YAY!!  Look out paradise, here we come …  Yeah, ok, in like 53 days, 13 hours and 47 …

Graduation day …

Yoda Kei and his littermates ‘graduated’ to their next nursery …  They turned 4 wks old today, and are now big enough to cruise around in the mud room.  Monet likes it too – being able to join the rest of our gang in between feeding her crew.  Tunie’s pups were curious, so Griffin, Cooper …

Changing my ways … oh, the stench

I’ve spent the last week or so reading someone else’s blog … she’s a fellow crafter, young mother, and has been blogging for 5 yrs (means I had a lot of reading to do) … It’s been interesting to follow her life (she’s moved 3 times cross-country style, had two children, opened her Etsy shop, …

Weekend Wrap-Up

I never even looked to see if it was a full moon, but based on our patients … I’d say so!  This weekend’s complaints can be summed up as GI flu (never-ending!), OB (and) GYN, and Psych (Behavioral Medicine, to be P.C.) … much of it routine, some of it humorous, and some heart-wrenching (read: mid-pregnancy …

Week Wrap-up

I realize my life is set up different than most … My ‘work week’ begins on Saturday and ends at 7am Monday morning, but I like to think I cram a whole lot of headache, turmoil, drama, etc into that 48 hour window (enough to equal most folks work week) … So for me, Friday …

We’re off to see the Wizard …

Yoda Kei and I went to the vet today … to have him checked out and see if there’s anything more that I could/should be doing.  We both ‘passed’ … I’m being a good home-dog-nurse/surrogate-mother and he’s doing well.  He weighed in at 7 ounces.  I put him a good 2 weeks (developmentally) behind his …

Winter Blues … my first treasury

I got too much sleep yesterday … Being a 3rd shifter part of the time means I’m supposed to have a 3-4 hour ‘nap’ on Mondays, so I can ‘turn around’ for the week, and try to sleep at night.  SOMEONE let me sleep for 8.5 hours yesterday … which means I’ll be up for …
