Pressed Jewels … ???
I’ve been busy taking pictures … And now I will be uploading items to the shops over the next several days. In the meantime, I need to name each item. This isn’t usually a problem, but … this bowl is giving me grief. It’s a deep purple, sky blue and bright green transparent bowl with …
Happy Memorial Day …
I could do a lot of (justified) whining and griping about this weekend … but why bother? It doesn’t change anything … So – instead … I will wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day(!) … be thankful for so many things … and focus on the week ahead (away from the ER, patients, families, visitors, …
It’s Puppy Time …
Whew … Sienna’s pups have made their grand entrance – fashionably late … At 2am Sienna finally entered the last stages of labor – and she wasn’t happy about it. We paced the floors, went outside, came back in, paced some more – then repeated this routine… Just about the time I was starting to …

So I’m private-duty-(dog-)nursing. She had complications with delivery, was bleeding into her uterus, and is …
Kids …
The two-legged kind … Are they supposed to do more than give you grief? There are things that I accept … 1) I came from a crummy childhood – my birth mother is FAR from June Cleaver (more like Joan Crawford); 2) I’m an ER nurse and a SANE nurse, so I get to see …
Spockula … and glass
Poor, poor Zeus … DH was ‘intrigued’ with the idea of having a Neo with cropped ears … so, we had it done. I’m feeling so bad for my little guy right now … He’s still an absolute sweetheart, but he looks ridiculous! And the part that’s killing me – I love to grab hold …
