Stars I agree with NJ22, the doctor needs to know sooner rather  than later that he is still having falls and is noncompliant

Tweety that seems like a good choice, to have refused management

NJ22 glad the new doctor is more helpful with your sister.  In the past I did consider that role, but realized I cannot do most types of ministry.  And given how much I borrowed to become a nurse it wouldn't be wise to get more school loans

Yesterday turned out to be fairly busy, the person I was covering for had a lot to do.  Thankfully it looks like there will be little to do for her today.  Though I have a bit more to do today myself

After work was fairly quiet, vacuumed and exercised and then had the Zoom meeting, just me and the minister and one other person.  Thankfully it was short, we're going to research some stuff on evangelism and meet again in 3 weeks

Tonight should be quieter, just the usual exercise and knitting and Star Trek

Think it will be in the mid 30s today, might get some snow

No luck in getting a hold of the doctor; he's not in the office today. The 'new' patient portal doesn't seem to have a place where I can leave a message for our PCP. Hubby refuses to go to the ER or the hospital, and he also won't talk to another doctor. If he manages to live long enough to go to his Monday appointment, I am not going to be quiet this time. Non-compliance about not drinking, and mixing vodka and meds....falling, and all the injuries...

So, we will see on Monday if the doc can hospitalize him.

I'm done fighting his baser senses.

Stars, I really think Mr. Stars needs a doctor that is comfortable with treating addiction, whether that means a referral to rehab or what. You've been more than patient and accommodating.

My exciting (?) day was spent driving to Tulsa to visit the laundry facilities of the company that supplies our linens. Apparently this is an annual requirement. Well, it's done, but I'm tired/sleepy from so much time in the car. There is still work to be done before Monday but thinking I might come in tomorrow instead of forcing myself right now. 

One of my emeals recipes is a slow-cooker beef curry that I will try tomorrow. There is a fellowship dinner after church Sunday but I don't know if Hubs will want to go and it is his birthday, after all. I've wanted to make my mom's double chocolate cake recipe for his birthday but I'm feeling the strain of the budget until payday.

G'day!

Worked today.   Was in charge again, but wasn't too horrible.  We had two call offs so night shift was staffed 6:1 without a tech.  Sux.  

Off for the next four days.
