I’d say Happy Turkey Day … but we had ham. Was my youngest daughter a little bummed? Maybe … But – since she didn’t move her lazy-butt off the couch all doggone day … I’m not impressed by her vote. And, while I embrace our house-full-of-hormones with sarcasm, I am thankful for my family … …

The GOOD: I’ve been producing in the studio; I have a few leads for ‘show-casing’ my ART; I’ve been working on some glass special requests (… I absolutely love those!); My family (both 2- and 4-legged) are healthy and well; I finally have a solid game plan to fix my ‘lil medical issue; I’ve lost …

Let me just take a moment to say ~ regardless of how shameless it is … I love how varied my Etsy shop listings are looking right now. And – public awareness moment: We have only 55 days until Christmas … Just sayin’!!! But – here’s where I’ll start to get nutty: I have 2 …

So, I don’t have lupus or mixed-connective tissue disease … yet! Although, my newest doctor tells me that SUNSHINE could cause my ANA to flip. WTH!?! Next, someone’s gonna say that Diet Coke or alcohol are bad for you!!! In the meantime, I meet with the surgeon again next week … Meanwhile, DH did it …

By Jack Handey Nurse Ginger: [AKA WWU. Let me set the stage a bit first.] (* DH says this post is hard to follow. I maintain any nurse or care-provider can follow along …) I have triggers (things that a patient can say or do that instantly rub me the wrong way). I recognize many of …
Pretty cool! And – I’m in my studio, with my insomnia being soothed by the rhythmic sound of snoring studio-pooches (Maggie and Kat) while the kilns click in the background. Doesn’t get much better … Spent some time with the plotter tonight … working through some additional ideas for recycled wine/liquor bottles (more to come, but – …

True TIRED! It’s been a trying and tiring week. I knew it would be, but YUCK! From a never-ending list of chores, to a mandatory A.M. work in-service, in between a surplus of amazingly annoying emails [that my editor – DH – won’t let me vent about here … even though I said I would …

I have a lot to be thankful for … Thanksgiving went off without a hitch, no one got sick, I got through the day with minimal thoughts of – and NO ACTUAL – maiming of family members(!), and with all of these left-overs – I won’t be cooking for several days! But seriously – while it was a busy week, …

‘Round and ‘round we go … [Warning – philosophical, WORDY post!] I hate it when I get mad at work. Aarrrggh, WHY?!? Anger is (almost) always a wasted emotion. But, when a mid-level practitioner [one I feel I’ve helped raise and mold over the years] decided to stand on his soap-box and lecture ME about being …
While I never deluded myself into thinking that I had the ‘skillz’ of Bo or Luke Duke – I did think for half a second maybe I could outrun the law … Um, let me ‘splain. 1) Last night was busy – Don’t-Stop-Moving-‘til-3AM busy. 2) I don’t know why, but our facility recently instituted a …
