‘Crabby Sue’ … Weekend Wrap Up

That was me this weekend … I need to apologize (again) to my co-workers.  A week of too little sleep had me too short-tempered to be around.  The bad news … I don’t see any additional sleep coming this week – as we are still on pup-watch with Sienna, supplemental feeding Mattie’s pups and keeping …

What a difference a day makes …

Mattie is doing much better … I finally got a decent block of sleep … life is settling into a nice routine.  We’re still supplementing the pups, but it’s totally do-able.  Sienna is nesting … looks like DH may have called this one right – she’ll probably deliver while I’m working … I had some …

Puppy News …

The puppies are here … and so begins my next-level-watch.  I take the night shift (big surprise – I put that insomnia to good use) … The pups are doing great.  Momma Mattie is having a hard time of it.  So I’m private-duty-(dog-)nursing.  She had complications with delivery, was bleeding into her uterus, and is …

Weekend Wrap-Up, Pup watch – and glass

A strange weekend … Volume wasn’t out of control, but the cases were complex, along with some strange non-emergency complaints (“Can’t sleep” … does that qualify for an ER visit?  Then I should live in the ER!), and the ever-present flu.  Also had some crummy diagnoses made in the ED this weekend:  I hate being …

Spockula … and glass

Poor, poor Zeus … DH was ‘intrigued’ with the idea of having a Neo with cropped ears … so, we had it done.  I’m feeling so bad for my little guy right now … He’s still an absolute sweetheart, but he looks ridiculous!  And the part that’s killing me – I love to grab hold …

Bun(s) in the Oven … and glass too!

Had a special request for some larger bowls … so, my kiln is kicking into over-drive as I put together what will be 14 inch blanks … each one takes over 5 pounds of glass, and with our particular technique … you never know what you’ll end up with … so, I feel like an …

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 …
