Weekend wrap-up … Contrary
I think it’s something when a 92 year old says to you, “… well at least you have your head on straight …”. I had just popped in to her room to draw blood per the request of the medical floor she was on. “Thanks”, I said aloud while thinking, ‘Wow – if this is …
And on the 5th day …
Patiently waiting for my kiln to cool down so I can remove the pieces … yea, so I’m not so patient … I took some pictures still in the kiln. I’m not sure I like my big fall slab in this mold. I may rework it … But I do like some of the other …
Graduation day …
Yoda Kei and his littermates ‘graduated’ to their next nursery … They turned 4 wks old today, and are now big enough to cruise around in the mud room. Monet likes it too – being able to join the rest of our gang in between feeding her crew. Tunie’s pups were curious, so Griffin, Cooper …
Week Wrap-up
I realize my life is set up different than most … My ‘work week’ begins on Saturday and ends at 7am Monday morning, but I like to think I cram a whole lot of headache, turmoil, drama, etc into that 48 hour window (enough to equal most folks work week) … So for me, Friday …
We’re off to see the Wizard …
Yoda Kei and I went to the vet today … to have him checked out and see if there’s anything more that I could/should be doing. We both ‘passed’ … I’m being a good home-dog-nurse/surrogate-mother and he’s doing well. He weighed in at 7 ounces. I put him a good 2 weeks (developmentally) behind his …
Winter Blues … my first treasury
I got too much sleep yesterday … Being a 3rd shifter part of the time means I’m supposed to have a 3-4 hour ‘nap’ on Mondays, so I can ‘turn around’ for the week, and try to sleep at night. SOMEONE let me sleep for 8.5 hours yesterday … which means I’ll be up for …
Procrastination … grown-up style
So … I’ve been dragging my feet. I hate it when I procrastinate, but … DARN. Sometimes being grown up and responsible just BITES. Ooh – that’s funny. I’m not talking about anything serious, like the 86 yearly competency tests waiting for me at work, or ‘working’ the tax papers or even checking on the …
The Name Game …
I’ve taken this week to decide on names for 4 of our 7 Yorkie pups … the three that are still nameless are Nay’s giant babies (compared to Little Man), who are just starting to open their eyes, and are still Monet’s babies more than mine. So – let me introduce you to some of …
Houston … we had a problem
So … throw the cumulated stress of holidays, work, another DARN SANE meeting (people STILL suck!!*), and spousal unit discord together … and you get an overweight, middle-aged, crusty ER nurse & mother that crashes … HARD! I just slept for the last 18 hours STRAIGHT … AMAZING! While I’m still overweight, middle-aged and probably …
Watch out Walmart … here I come
Yet another brutal weekend in the ER. Seemed like everyone was trying to test my resolve to stick with my New Year Resolution … I didn’t fair well. From unbelievably immature kids (who are about to become parents in a few short months!!) to seizing, vomiting (read: aspirating) developmentally delayed adults, I seemed to move from …
