Just a tad more excitement …

before closing out the 2011 year … On Thursday, while coming home from promised clothes shopping – my daughter and I discovered a ‘present’ at the end of our driveway.  Some stellar member of our community decided to dump 40+ old tires.  Not in one of the ditches or low areas, swamps or back ‘forty’ …

‘Twas Two Days After Christmas …

And all through the house, not a creature was stirring – except for me … WWU – It was unexpectedly busy in my stand-alone ER over Christmas weekend.  I really thought more folks would be staying home … NOPE.  We had a bit of everything: behavioral medicine complaints, intoxicants, lacerations, food poisoning, the never-ending FLU …

Whirlwinds in December …

WWU – Sunday was busy for my new little ER … and I had three (no really, count them –T.H.R.E.E.) patients transferred for hospital admission!  Sure made the weekend go by quickly … as will this one coming up, I’m sure: Lots of holiday gatherings by day and work at night … Come on insomnia …

It’s still a full moon … WWU

While the lunar status doesn’t quite mean what it did at the hospital ER, you can still tell when the moon is full … bizarre and unusual people were out in full force this weekend. Had a great family night – in the new studio, munching on popcorn and cream puffs (kids’ choices).  We were …

Evil Strikes Again … (WWU)

While I was trying to get through my weekend at work – doing good deeds, like starting IV’s on septic infants (SUCCESS!) – the dark side struck … Yep – the biological mother rose up from the depths of Hades to mess with me and mine again!  While I may be one sarcastic gal – …

WWU … Did you know … ???

Did you know that you can’t squish/step-on a tic to kill it … Nope, it’ll keep on crawling right under your shoe. Did you know that dogs/pets can get MRSA too … Yep, they get it from their infected humans. These are just some of the pretty cool (while somewhat gross) factoids I learned from …

WWU … Hmm – I like it!

Got through another weekend … this one completely at the new job.  It is definitely changing grass varieties – had one visitor complain that the magazine selection was lacking and outdated … umm, OK, I’ll work on that … (???)  But it’s good, too.  I have the time to educate and keep my patient’s updated.  …

WWU – It’s All Good …

Officially worked at the new job this past weekend … Suffered a moment’s panic, when 10 minutes into the shift, the one and only patient in the department was discharged … “Holy Cow, this is going to be an insufferably long 12 hours – OMG, what have I done?” was my thought.  But then things …

Time for the next chapter …

I have my last shift at the hospital tonight… Spent the last 8 years there, learned a lot, have so many good memories, but now it’s time to turn the page … I start at my new job tomorrow in a stand-alone ER. Studio news:  The renovation is coming along – thank goodness!  Kiln glass …

Flooring … it’s a beautiful thing!

Had to stop for a minute to share a few pictures … Here’s the studio with flooring and trim in place … That would be DH on the couch, who quickly lost consciousness as he looked over the ‘punch list’ … There’s still a lot of work to do – but I LOVE IT!! And …
