Time flies …

I can’t believe it’s Thursday ALREADY … Where’d the week go? The good news – I finally have my chores done for the week – so tomorrow is ALL MINE!  (I even sound like a [2 year old] brat, don’t I??? Mine, mine, MINE! … Oh well – I’m okay with it! )  DH has …

Warning Will Robinson …

Overload! Overload!  I’m taking 5 minutes, that I don’t really have, but … hey, it’s all good! Spent yesterday at the sister hospital – my head is spinning just a bit regarding the differences … kind of like shopping at a new grocery store … you take for granted the fact that you know the …

Crummy – but working on it …

Had a first for my little rural county last night … 2 back-to-back SANE calls from unrelated assaults.  Our program provides treatment for rape victims 13 yrs old/older.  Both of my patients met criteria, but barely … OMG!  What is going on with my community!?!  This will require major therapy (shopping) for me … and I’ve …

And then there’s Monday … WWU

Gone is the contentment, bottled or otherwise … What a crummy weekend.  Volume wasn’t out of control, no ‘major’ patients (i.e. really sick) … but YUCK!  Drama, drama, drama … and a bit of it was mine.  I was shorter-fused than I should be with … people (we’ll leave it at that).  Then I got …

To every thing … (AKA weekend wrap up)

there is a season … Time to move on?  Maybe.  I don’t know.  I really don’t like change, but … Had a few interesting things come up (out?) this weekend:  Delivered our first baby in our ER.  Yep, in the middle of the night with a full, backed-up ED and ambulances steady bringing in patient …

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 …

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!); …

I’m workin’ on it …

Went to the DARN SANE meeting before the big storm started … [yes – People suck!  Are there any members of my community that aren’t sexually abusing people/beating their kids???]  Now, I’m snuggled in for a long winter’s nap, hot toddy in hand … I made a large pot of chicken noodle soup (the DH …

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 …
