Bring on the Spring …
I have spring fever. I am so ready to do some things in the yard. I’ve been reading up and watching YouTube videos, and I think this year DH and I are finally ready to bring home some chickens! I’m so excited. But first, we’ll be converting an old shed into a coop for them. …
It’s called FAITH!
… I needed to remind a couple family members of this recently. I’m an ER nurse. [Apparently, I’m also AN ESSENTIAL … (Wow – doesn’t that sound post-apocalyptic! You and me Daryl – We Got This! )] But honestly – it’s just FAITH … I struggled with this early in my nursing career. When we …
A Quick Escape …
From Margueritaville – where NO Corona is served! [HaHaHa!!! … while pounding chest!] I received my new Tim Holtz alcohol inks today (ordered back in late January/early February). So, I had to pause for a moment and try a J.McGuire technique. Maybe, 1): I shouldn’t be so SURE of myself [Umm, listen and follow all …
Getting back up – dusting myself off …
After last week’s huge mental blow, DH and I are starting to correct the insurance situation. I’ve reached out to my employer’s HR, but don’t hold much hope for assistance.

Birthdays, Card Making & EPIC
Wrapped up all of my mandatory nurse classes last week, YAY! Got through the weekend shifts, and heard such bizarre complaints, I can’t even mention them… My goodness, but folks are losing coping skills by the bucket-loads! Moving on … On Tuesday, DH and I made nachos, making the chips (cut tortillas) in the air …
Hibernating …
I haven’t decided if I’m battling some wimpy bug or just hibernating this week. But, I’ve been sleeping for long spells, with short periods of consciousness – to eat, peruse the internet and play with cards/paper. And then – back to sleep … Tomorrow is going to be a long one, with mandatory work competency …
Deadline 2 of 4 & The New Year …
I started the week off by meeting the (latest) new deadline for online work competencies. Which made the next two weeks mine! YAY! We had beautiful skies on Monday, along with some snow fall on Tuesday … I caught photos: [DH and] I gifted ourselves with an air fryer – so we spent much of …
