That sums up the weekend. Very busy with needy patients and families on Saturday … Needy as in sick (really sick, sepsis sick); ‘Super-Sized Jerry Springer drama’ families; dedicated drug seekers that would not take no for an answer. Plus I had to complete a CSC (rape) case in the ER. I hate that … …
Maggie is back to her fat-healthful-state. The taxes are done, now to make the appointment. And it’s time to get ready for work … I can’t imagine life possibly getting any better … Yeah … ok … maybe a thing or two …
Thank you Lord! I have successfully completed the mandatory GENE training (Geriatric Emergency Nurse Education) … What does this mean? I can spout random statistics, irrelevant factoids and common sense issues regarding elderly patients. Thank goodness! I feel like I’m a better nurse already. But, the really cool news (outside of the fact that I …
So, my should-do list is growing out of control … taxes, competency tests, appointments, meetings, house work … YUCK! No studio time … but I do have puppy time!

It’s Thursday … it was a beautiful day temperature-wise. I didn’t even mind all the mud. I’ve finished my ‘DARN SANE’ call for the week. I’ve had multiple visitors over the last few days (Yorkie pups). I have a houseful of adorable, fun, healthy puppies. I got to see my daughter’s basketball game (who knew …
I have such great friends! In the last week, I’ve been given a ton of bottles! Now to spend my dog-sitting-duty time soaking labels and scrubbing bottles, in between switching pups and feeding Liv … I think I’ll try quenching glass this week. Olivia is getting her appetite back. I like this much better! Her crew …
Or something like that … It rings a distant bell for some type of math – or maybe it’s HTML coding … ??? Anyway – that’s about how much sense our new Senior ED ‘criteria’ is making right now: … If the patient is 65 or older, you must (mandatory) complete a senior assessment – …
I’ve gotten a few pendants and badge reels pulled together … just quick projects. And I continue to re-photo some ‘older’ pieces – as I realize now just how horrible the lighting was in some of my initial listings … It keeps me busy and close to Olivia – who is going …
