Another catch-up post. Last I wrote, I was experiencing an internal GI over-haul. Five days of Jello, water and yogurt later – my gastrointestinal system and I were friends again. Fearing I was contagious at the time, I stayed in the studio, away from DH and the pups. Once normal, I hit our downstairs kitchen …
to a nursing LOW … But first – we had a wonderful Thanksgiving, our kids, et. al. joined us for our (now traditional) bacon wrapped herb/butter encrusted masterpiece. [OK – this one was not so beautiful on the outside – I opted for thick-cut bacon … delicious, but not so pretty!] Even our oldest seemed …
But a GOOD week! Our Josie had her babies while I was working Sunday night. DH kept me updated. So, we spent our week on ‘pup watch’, with DH taking the day shift and me watching over the nights. While I miss my studio time, it always amazes me to see our babies grow and …
As a first time mom, Georgie and her pups are doing great! She has even adjusted to having a whelp-mate in the nursery, as Gina is waiting for her pups to arrive (- and growing bigger by the minute!) … So, DH and I are staying close. I’m so grateful we have a finished basement …
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 …
OK – running through the list since my last post. Last week was wonderful, with pool days every day! Got through a steady ER-nursing weekend, with a bit of a twist. Our youngest daughter came up to see me and inform she was heading back to Ghana for a ‘short visit’ (3 wks). She left …
Yep … we’ve got a full house, that’s for sure! Last week our Tubitha, doing her best interpretation of a ‘beached whale meets hippopotamus’ (poor girl), finally had her babies – all 12 of them. Now that we’re settling in to ‘life on the outside’, and Tubby can breathe and eat again … Well DH …
While my studio is quiet this week, our house is busy … We have puppies (AGAIN)! Labor started in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Many, many hours later, with lots of love, encouragement and patience – we welcomed blue, velvety-soft babies! Which keeps us close to the whelping boxes. Thank goodness for our downstairs …
Spent a couple of days this week cleaning up/organizing my haven, uhh STUDIO! Good golly, it’s been a while. But she’s all back together – I can find stuff, AND I have open spaces to work! What a cool idea!!! DH and I had our pink cane pull. While it didn’t do what I thought …
