Ado Annie ASN, RN

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.

    I'm a napper when I have the opportunity (weekends). It does interfere with sleep at night. Sunday night I didn't sleep well at all so yesterday was a long day. Hubs naps every day. I don't know what...

    Joe, glad you're feeling better and hope you're back to "normal" soon. Are you satisfied with the work on the car? It was a weekend of feeling completely unmotivated to do anything. We did go to...

    2nd career nurse here. First degree was in Computer Science. I don't think I ever loved my job, but it paid the bills. Until a company bankruptcy and mass layoffs. I had seen it coming and had started...

    Joe, I quite enjoyed Remarkably Bright Creatures. I kept thinking it might not be really deep literature but was an enjoyable read. Tweety's books sound good, too... may have to look for The Guncle....

    Joe, I have those dreams sometimes. *And* the nursing dreams where I've forgotten about a patient all day. We made it to Kokomo. Gma has done pretty well really. The aphasia frustrates her. So...

    Yes, cars and everything to do with them are expensive. Shopped for a top for Gma to wear to the funeral. While I was at it, I bought 2 pairs of shoes for me. Hubs thinks I have too many shoes...
