WWU … WHINE
I don’t do whining. Can’t stand it. When a voice hits a certain octave, my lip snarls – all on it’s own. This is not a good ER nurse trait … I worked with a great crew this weekend, and it was pointed out several times how much more tolerant they are … Hmmm. I’ll …
Long day …
but ending it in my studio – so, you know – a GOOD day. Started in the early A.M., so that my curly hair could air dry, and I could TRY to look presentable (still haven’t figured out why I bother …???). Anyway, had to go to a social function related to my SANE job. …
Flop, but it’s ok …
It’s all valuable learning … I continue to putter and play with recycled bottle pieces … The vase experiment was a total flop. Oops – totally wrong temperatures. I’m giving up trying that again (for now) as I think it’s a lost cause due to the nature of glass in a kiln (wanting to be 1/4 …
Back to “Rollin’ in the Deep …”
Oh yeah, it’s TOTALLY an Adele song … but it’s what I’m doin’. My kilns (count them – TWO!) are BOTH running. DH is sleeping, I’m wide awake … It’s what I’m USED to … My little Yogi-Bear is going to the vet later today, as he’s scratching at his ears. Not normal, and must be …
When all else fails …
Revert to what you love … for me, it’s discovering new hobbies (or spending money, according to DH)! So, I’ve just placed an order. I will be playing with the ‘art of papermaking’ … I’ve always had a thing for specialty paper (as well as all office supply ‘stuff’ – makes me wonder if I …
Internalizing – It’s what ER nurses do … ?!?
At least it’s what THIS one is doing … While I don’t hold a 4 year degree specific to psychology, I’m pretty sure that’s what’s going on … I’m currently experiencing a full-fledged acne break-out – like some 13 year old kid – AND … I’ve been to the chiropractor twice this week to deal …
Not perfect … not even close
But then, I never claimed to be … I do strive to be a good person. And I’m a tough-love kind of mom. With all of my years in the ER – witnessing trauma, tragedy and poor-choice outcomes – how can I not be? I parent this way because I have my kids’ best FUTURE …
Adele + Chinese Food = Good Medicine
Have spent the past week slowly trying to work through a huge family mess (BTW – have I cursed the Evil Biologic recently? Yes? … Okay, well, here’s another – %@#^*!!!) … Thus, not much going on in the studio. Had it not been for a glass order, I may have avoided it all week. (And …
