    We are in the upper 60's, may get to low 70's! It rained last night, but not as much as they had told us it might. It is partly cloudy/partly sunny. Nannie made her usual remark about the sun being...

    I just typed two posts, and discovered before I 'sent reply', that they were on the wrong days! So, third time is the charm? Maybe? I went out on errands: dropped the plastic bag collection off...

    I didn't want to get up and I didn't want to start my domestic day. I wasn't born to be a 'housewife', but here I am. Blah. Last night hubby asked Nannie 5 times if it was time for her to go to...

    Nannie is p.o'd because she keeps speaking in her soprano whisper and we can't understand what she is saying. She has been told repeatedly that if she is wanting to talk to us she needs to use her...

    Happy birds flocked in after I got through sweeping and distributing the birdseed. Even the big woodpecker is visiting. Guess there aren't too many bugs under the tree's bark, so they will come and...

    Hubby says his stomach feels better today, after bothering him last night until about 5 AM. He thinks it is the burrito and/or chili and/or anything with tomato sauce that is spicy. But does that stop...

    Got Nannie to wake up at 7:30 PM, made her eat some yogurt, took her in to the bathroom, changed her into pj bottoms. She said, "I'm so sleepy," and was very happy to be tucked into bed. NICE!...

    Hubby decided to go to bed, said to let him sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. I don't know if he is going to come downstairs soon or not. Nannie is still in her recliner, deeply, deeply asleep. I...

    Why do some fairly new nurses talk down about bedside nursing?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I pushed a med cart for 10 years, on 2nd shift, in one place or another. At the time, the med nurse got a patient assignment only if they were not high-needs patients. Sometimes the charge nurse and I...

    One hour prior to The Supper Question now, and of course, the nappers are both snoring from their recliners. And even though the "heat-pump" thermostat has been jacked up to 72, it is still chilly...
