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.

    Mother's Day was a quiet one. Twin A got up and asked if anyone wanted donuts, then went to the donut shop. I went to church. Gma got up when it was time to get ready to go to church, so Hubs didn't...

    I would have loved to be an NP but having to support the family made it nearly impossible, and at this stage in life I guess I'll give up the idea. Every now and then I do miss patient care....

    Sorry I've been so absent. I get frustrated with trying to "type" on the phone unless it's just a short sentence or two. And my work days have been full. So I may be commenting on things that are days...

    Very nice pictures, dianah! Thanks! Hubs hopes he has the convertible's problems managed, for now. His frustration was made worse because Twin A left the lights on on the Jeep and ran the battery...

    No troubles sleeping in here 🙂though I do wake a couple of times during the night and sometimes have trouble going back to sleep then. Tweety, I don't know if I could stand hot yoga. Stepson...

    Wow, Stars. Shades of Waco. People astound me sometimes. As it was the BIG GET RID OF THE BUGS (again) DAY, Twin B and I got the pets to the vet to stay the night, then I went to work and he went...

    Came to correct myself after looking at the news again. 4 deaths confirmed in OK: the 2 in Holdenville, 1 in Sulphur, and 1 in

    Joe, I'm sorry you missed the concert after a valiant effort to get there. How frustrating! J22, I get it about the dogs. Dory did not remain calm as storms passed through all night. We...

    Pretty entitled to demand a better view. Yikes! I wish we could get more admissions. Gma somehow got a roll of toilet paper that she was sitting at the dining table this afternoon with,...

    Dory dog is having fits today and I'm sure it's the wind and impending storms. She's exhausting. But, poor girl, I don't know how to

    I was surprised at the at-home sleep study, too. I think it's a great idea. My mouth guard needs some adjustment. My new crown is rounder than the original tooth. I took it in right after for...

    Hope those 3 days are tame, Tweety. Anticipating storms again. My book club is meeting tomorrow ecening, weather permitting. We've talked about meeting earlier if it looks like the early evening...

    Gripe all you want/need, Stars. I do my fair share, too. We're among friends. Overdraft fees are awful. We've "spent" hundreds of dollars because we don't keep a close enough watch and some big...

    Brr, Joe. That sounds chilly. Hope the dinner is a good time. Stars, I use the Libby app to borrow ebooks from my local public library that I read on my phone. Like dianah said, you gotta keep...

    I love Amelia Bedelia! In some alternate universe I'm probably a children's librarian. 🙂 I kept seeing ads for a local garden club's plant sale but must have missed it because I'm not seeing...

    Stars, my day has been shot, too. Hubs has been busy with all kinds of things but I've been a couch potato. I did give blood yesterday. So that's my excuse. I'm feeling fatigued 😩, right? It was...

    Stars, I think I've heard the same thing when Hubs is trying to clean up Gma. These days, though, it comes with shrieks of indignation that her modesty is being

    Well, I'm glad that's resolved without having to visit the hospital, Stars. dianah, that sounds like a lovely day at the park. J22, hope your ds's eye is improving. TMB, good to...

    Did the taxes and realized why I was putting it off. Ouch. Oh well. It was a beautiful sunny day. Twin A went with me to buy groceries and gas up the car. Sounds as if everyone could use a...

    It was a good day for catching up with stuff. I got a good start on Q42023 population and sampling for CMS. I finally saw the kittens in the backyard, or some of them. There must be more than 3...

    J22, those are some nightmare transfers. Yeah, they were more like 7-8 hour zoom meetings. But they're over! Today had fewer little crises to deal with. Although the state board of pharmacy did...

    The sun is shining brightly and it's a little cool and breezy. Hubs discovered yesterday that there are (at least) 3 kittens under our back yard shed. Kittens are so cute but I guess I should take...

    Gma complains about her shoes. None make her happy. She blames them for her difficulties with walking. But then she doesn't ever want to take them off, either. And gives me h3ll for going barefoot....

    Stars, what a mess! Hope it isn't too hard to get everything back in shape. Joe, you are right that you learned something. I do find it more enjoyable to travel with or to see someone else. Or,...

    At some point in the night there must have been some pretty good wind (there was a little thunder and lightning), because the maple trees attacked! 🙂 We don't even have a maple in our yard, but the...
