Click, click, click … go my kilns (happy sigh – ) ALONG with the other 886 COUNTDOWNS ticking away. Deep breath! Review (since my last post): 1) We have babies! Momma Iz finally got serious Friday night, and we have 7 new Neo babies in the house (DH has the photos, and I’m so far …
And ending on a great note: I’m meeting with ‘The Girls’ again – my childhood friends. We’ve had some (slightly) impressive changes since we last got together … [Good Lord – we ARE some kind of version of “The Big Chill”] … so, we have lots to share. I’m so looking forward to seeing them …
Where have you been all my life? An amazing, wonderful, incredible coworker (whom I LOVE!) shared a frosting recipe this weekend (it ALMOST made up for all the craziness we endured on behalf of our patient population … 5AM take down of a male someone half my age … don’t get me started!). Anyway – I’m sharing …
is now set for next week (!) … Sooo – I was available to attend the DARN SANE meeting! By the time I got home, I was completely bummed and disliking people. Needing a fix – I spent the afternoon playing with puppies, in the sunshine and beautiful fall colors: And Mighty Zeus was …
Crummy day! Started with a wake-up SANE call … yeah, my favorite.

No, not tulips … Puppies! The gang’s all here. Zonie started having her babies in the wee hours of Tuesday morning (about 4am) … Now, some 36 hours later (we all got some sleep), we are settling into a great routine of ‘life on the outside’ … In case you’re having trouble counting … …
Time to take a deep breath and hit the week running … In between the demands of daily driver’s ed for the twins, our puppy nursery (9 days old today), our canine ante-partum nursery (Mama Zonie is due this week), photography, shipping glass packages (love that), and working “Mom’s Diner” – I’ve got the DARN …
Had a full day out and about, but ending with some happy time in the studio. Went to the crime lab ‘Meet & Greet’ … imagine a room full of SANE nurses, social workers and a few lawyers against one lone crime lab director. He did great(!) and I’m hopeful more positive process changes will …
Of course, that means the night is NEVER dull, but … Wow! Meet Buddy, our ‘team mascot’ for the last shift of my weekend. Some nurses consider ANYTHING a patient gives them as a precious gift to be treasured … even PARASITIC BUGS! [An engorged tick for all you folks not up on your entomology] … Ugggghhhh! …
