Weekend Wrap-Up … There’s no place like home

Brutal weekend … high census, high acuity, lots of seniors [and their mandatory assessments], as well as kids and adults – and news flash:  flu season has struck AGAIN!!  It’s a personal thing I know, but … I will never understand people that prefer to have diarrhea in a public place (the ER), in front …

Totally Psyched …

I had a great day yesterday … Started with getting a decent nights sleep (and I say ‘night’ lightly – I finally beat the battle with insomnia at 3am); SANE training for a new nurse in our program (LOVE that – as for too long, I was the only SANE nurse practicing in the county!); …

My back, my SVU and my studio …

Spent the last several days working through my messed up back (not so much an old football injury, but something along those lines …).  So – maybe I’m not the domestic goddess I thought I was.  Better to plan things out and execute them SLOWLY … Feeling (physically) better now though – which I am …

It’s Official – I’m ‘Out-There’ …

Yeah – probably that too, but what I’m specifically referring to … my site is published!  YAY!!  Here’s the link:  http://www.claytonhillstudio.com.  I know – it’s not complete yet (the shop), the gallery format leaves a little to be desired, and you have to hit your back arrow from this blog, but … it’s published!  Did …

It’s raining, it’s pouring

But I’ll take it over snow, anyday! This post is a work-in-progress – like so many things in life … to be followed-up-upon later. It’s 2am.  I’ve had such a ‘highs and lows’ kind of day:  Major insomnia, combined with web design had me enthralled ‘til about 4am last night.  I was on a roll, …

Good news/Bad news …

So – the good news is … I am plunging forward with my own fused glass website – php, MySQL, CSS and all.  ‘Course it’s very time consuming, as I barely understand what I’m doing, but that’s ok … when my head starts spinning – I step away. The bad news … since I really …

Off to work I go …

I’m continuing to produce here in the studio … dichro pieces, blanks, nursing stuff … Now it’s time to take a break and actually be a nurse, dang it! Hoping for a smooth weekend … silly, I know, but … it could happen! Still needs work – colored glass border and final fusing – but …

Studio news … I’m on a roll

So it took some doing – a self-imposed time out, locked in my studio – but now I’m on a roll.  I have badge reels and nursing-specific ideas flowing like crazy, my production kiln is kicking, I have bottles soaking for scrubbing, I have finished projects to photograph and upload … projects, projects, projects … …

Blah … but …

Feeling a little blah today … I’m sure our gray overcast sky has something to do with it – along with the cooler-than-I’d-like temperatures.  Plus it’s Friday, which means work tomorrow.  Where did the week go?  We’ve been busy with Neo puppies getting to their new homes this week.  Had a couple fly out, which …

Kicking around ideas …

Because – ideas are free … I’m thinking about starting my own site, with domain name and yearly webhosting costs … and of course, new business cards – but not until I decide on whether or not I’ll proceed with my own site/address … But, I was playing with a banner (for another site … …
