   OMG! Stars. My first thought was I hope there was no carpeting in Nannie's bedroom! I've to clean up many a brown lake in my career. Usually followed up by a scolding to not use linens to clean up messes, but don't call housekeeping until the mess ha...

   The election 2024 Thread

   nursej22 replied to Tweety's topic in Talk Politics

   Where is this 51% of Americans support Trump figure coming from? 51% of Americans don't even vote. The polls, if you want to believe them, have Trump at 46%. It's almost laughable that Sununu claims that Republicans want to stay out of peo...

   Good afternoon. Sunny and mild again, in the hi 50s. I got a call last night from eldest ds who has been suffering with a stye or chalazion (he's been told both) since January. He was initially told to use warm compresses and it would drain on its ow...

   Sunny day, all the way up to 60! I've been puttering outside. The fellow who is going to paint and power wash the house stopped by to show his employee what all needs doing. I started moving stuff off the front porch, but I'm not doing too much becau...

   56 degrees, sunny and breezy. The day started with rain. The weather guy sounded very confused last night about the forecast. It might be this, or that, or something else. This Spring seems colder than usual, but maybe my old bones just complain more...

   A 2 hour Zoom meeting! That just sounds painful. At least with Zoom, you can get up and walk around from time to time. Crazy shift change transfers: open heart patient on an insulin drip hung just before transfer, arrives with empty bag. ...

   A nice, 60 degree day. I just finished lunch after working in the demo garden. The dogs are all jazzed up because we shut them in bathroom when no one is home. They are stampeding in and out of the door, around the yard and then back into the house. ...

   Partly sunny around 50 degrees. It warm up to 60 by the weekend, I hope. I've been chasing the vacuum around. I had aspirations of cleaning bathrooms, but this couch feels pretty nice. We bought a little 2 drawer filing cabinet that I will transfer s...

   Hullo. I'm feeling a little more productive than yesterday, when other than a jog and a dog walk, I did a whole lot of nothing. Oh, I did pull about a bucket of weeds, but my knees were complaining, so I didn't do as much as I wanted. And my knees an...

    My little devil dogs finally got their baths. And they were none too happy about it. At least with short hair it is a quick dry. We went to run some errands: I got some new inserts for my running sneaks; we got a little 2 drawer filling cabinet so we...

    Good morning, partly sunny today, and yesterday was much the same. The news says the snow pack is low, so we can expect water restrictions, possible power price increases, and more forest fires. Sigh. I volunteered at the demo garden yesterda...

    Hey ho. Overcast in the hi 50s. It's supposed to rain. I dug up some plants to donate to the master gardener sale. It's our yearly fundraiser to raise money for supplies at our demo gardens. I dropped them off at the potting shed at the park. Other v...

    Decent weather here, partly cloudy, big, puffy clouds against a lovely blue sky. I actually wore shorts for my jog this morning. We went to lunch with MiL. She wanted to treat dh, youngest son and me for our birthdays. It was nice that there was no m...

    What made you quit?

    It was mostly death by a thousand cuts: routinely staffed with float nurses not qualified to take complex pts, leaving experienced staff to take all the very sick, complicated patients and do all the orientations; constant churn of census-14 out, 14 ...
