Tiptoe through the …
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 … …
Wish me luck …
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 …
Back in my studio …
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 …
WWU – I work with some Nutty Nurses …
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! …
Funk, but workin’ on it …
Had my monthly DARN SANE meeting this morning … Arrrgh! People are evil and sick! I hate knowing this … Now, locked in my studio … I am determined to work through the mood-funk. This means Adele is blasting on the stereo, my most inspiring photo slide show (art/project ideas) is playing on the screen …
Long day …
but ending it in my studio – so, you know – a GOOD day. Started in the early A.M., so that my curly hair could air dry, and I could TRY to look presentable (still haven’t figured out why I bother …???). Anyway, had to go to a social function related to my SANE job. …
Still recuperating … but eating helps (?)
I work nights. I do this INTENTIONALLY, as I am –apparently– a vampire. (I’d say the non-blood kind – but my patients [whose blood I take by-the-vials] would probably disagree …) I am ALLERGIC to mornings. So, my week has been messed up since I got a SANE call only minutes (about 120 of them) …
Disillusioned, disappointed and depressed …
Had another first for my ‘lil rural county yesterday – 3 SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) cases in less than 24 hours. WTH?!? I believe I covered every service provided to ‘adults’ by our agency (… if I didn’t – I don’t even want to think about what scenario I missed)! So bummed at the …
Evil Strikes Again … (WWU)
While I was trying to get through my weekend at work – doing good deeds, like starting IV’s on septic infants (SUCCESS!) – the dark side struck … Yep – the biological mother rose up from the depths of Hades to mess with me and mine again! While I may be one sarcastic gal – …
