    Friday March 3 2023

    Mostly cloudy with small measures of time when sun peeks through. We are supposed to have thunderstorms and high winds in the late afternoon. But I doubt there will be any snow. I wouldn't be...

    We had a humdinger of a thunderstorm last night! Tons of rain, too. I was so happy to be able to lie in bed and listen to the storm. I wanted to watch the lightning, too, but after about the fourth...

    Oh, j22, I love your tattoo; such a sweet facial expression on that dog! I said, "Awwwwwwwwww" when I saw it. Good choice. Very nice. And it would appear the dog is a real

    Crap! Phooey! Rats! NOW hubby is c/o blurring in his left eye. A few hours ago he was c/o his eyeglasses and said he had to go to the guy tomorrow to see what can be fixed (glasses-wise, that...

    Adventures of The Plumber's Daughter: Nannie was SOOOOO blocked up with an enormous ball of BM...but, you can't dis-impact her (she can't even tolerate an enema tip in there!). Anyway, it took...

    Looking at Respite care for Nannie; residential would average around $4,500 to $5,375 PER MONTH and there would be extra fees for med dispensing, etc. This ^ investigation done at hubby's...

    Nannie just got up on her own; Time to get her dressed WITH her pull-ups and TWO pads. I used to keep the packages of them discreetly tucked between the toilet and the sink/cabinet, which are on her...

    Same as j22, to you, Tweety. Well, believe it or not Nannie went to bed at 7:15 PM. It must've been the blowflies and larvae on the TV screen (Forensic Files). Then at 8 PM we went through...

    Beautiful snow photo, j22! Glad it isn't HERE, though! Ummmm, I am slightly suspicious about hubby's current state of sobriety. He hasn't been moving exactly completely steadily. At least a half...

    I can't believe that it is only Tuesday; I also can't believe that February is about to 'expire'. Don't get alarmed but I woke up feeling depressed. Then I was playing with the words in my head,...

    Hubby is supposed to have an ultrasound on his left arm; doc wants to rule-out a blood-clot, as the Lasix is only working just a tiny bit on the swelling. Hubby says it's working 'a LOT of bit" on his...

    Howdy, hello, and hiya! You know what, Joe? I don't even have a "social circle", except you guys here on AN. I am not much of a group person (although I am a 'funny bunch', all on my own.) I keep...

    Ah, I see now. I wasn't sure of where the "ghetto"-ness was coming from. I used to do hospital staffing when I worked for the agency, and at two different hospitals, sometimes I was the only white...

    Tweety~ PS, glad your 'ghetto-self' trousers don't be hangin' off your buttocks! Okay, so I confess, goofiness abounds in my brain once in a while. It is cool, in the upper 50's, overcast,...

    Nurses Living with the Guilt of Providing Mediocre Care

    Paperwork vs. Patient care. Maybe we could dictate as we work during patient care and there would be people who listen to our tapes ( like they do for doctors ), and type up the notes and info....

    Flying along in the Lear jet was interesting because it was way up twice as high as commercial planes fly, and when you looked down on them they appeared to be about the size of a mosquito! Strange!...

    I remember spending a month doing private duty at the end of Feb and the beginning of March in Lantana, Florida (about a block and a half from The Enquirer!). The temp was 92 and a girl said to me...

    Tweety, You reminded me of way back in 1975 when I was living in Newburyport, Mass.....My ex-bro-in-law was camping out on my sofa for a week or so. It was summertime and we hadn't had any rain in a...

    Welp, hubby apologized to me, saying that I probably had told him about cleaning the filters on the condenser. He was right that time, I DID tell him about it. So, he asked if we might go out to...

    Hubby called the 02 supplier to c/o his condenser not working right. I had told him that probably it needed to have the filters washed, dried, and put back. As he was telling the person on the phone...
