Ado Annie ASN, RN

Med/Surg

Nursing is my second career, and I'm so glad I made the change. I don't always love it, but most of the time I do.

    The power outage was fairly short-lived. Good deal for the hospital. It is still raining. I talked with my sister for the first time in 2-3 weeks. She sounded good. I worry sometimes. I...

    Friends are good to have, Joe. Good that you can both acknowledge that and go on. Rose, I sympathize with the house issues. Are you traveling and that's why you need the pet sitter? Wow...

    Joe, your day sounds fun. Hope all went well. Glad the tuxedo cat is doing well. We finally made it onto the water on Thursday. Tuesday we drove to the lake. Hubs said on the way there that...

    Current plans are for a late afternoon/early evening sail. I've cut up apples, cheese, Summer sausage. And sectioned mandarin oranges. Maybe I'll take some nuts along, too. We have cashews and peanuts...

    First day of staycation down. Didn't accomplish much but Hubs did get the Neon running again after something was shorting out the fuel pump. There was EHR downtime at the hospital but not really...

    Very nice evening and I'm sitting outside to enjoy it. At least for a little while. Sorry for your losses, dianah. Twin A and I made the lava cakes today and they turned out really well....

    I'm going to share a picture Hubs took this morning. We had a little lightning and thunder but no rain and it cleared up and probably got to 90. I bought groceries and changed/washed sheets. Then...

    That sounds like our Grand Canyon trip last year (March?). It was snowing in the higher elevations and we had broken the rear windshield in the convertible so drove with cardboard and a trash bag...

    Lentil stew sounds good. I made an eMeals recipe for black bean soup that turned out very chili-like. It was good, just not exactly what I expected. A couple of years ago I bought a blind for the...

    The facility says they can't take Gma next week so Rose will come each day. Now Hubs says he didn't mean for this to be a work week but to be his 'respite'. Which is fair for him but I scheduled the...

    Gosh, dianah! Earthquake and fire. I hope the fire is controlled soon. Ugh. I remember helping to organize a "Taste of ______" fundraiser many years ago. They are fun to attend and I guess I...

    Greetings, all! Stars, yay for a productive day. It really does mean a lot to have a space that's truly your own. And TMB is not wrong that you should be able to plan/schedule life and let others...

    I think seeing a counselor makes a lot of sense. But, speaking generally, please don't be so intimidated by that experience that you are afraid to try something you want to do. You made it through...

    Glad Slowbro doesn't seem to be in pain but it sure is hard watching them get weaker and less able to do things they've always done. Hoping he's doing better. Still cooler here (high 70s) and...

    I often say that GPS has changed my life because I can find places and find my way back home. I still get anxious in unfamiliar territory. We've had a bit of a cold front and it's currently 82...
