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.

    So far those storms have passed us by. We had some rain but the winds were mild and there was no hail and no sign of tornados. The sun is shining. No complaints from

    J22, I love those murals! Happy Easter, everyone! I think our cantata went well. We had a small string ensemble play with us (quite a lot of sound for our small but old and beautiful sanctuary)....

    So just as I had the computer ready to go so I could do the taxes Hubs cut the internet cable with the garden tiller! He's blaming the guys who laid it for not burying it deep enough. But whatever the...

    Tweety, I have a lot of those kinds of things happen, too. I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached. Good for you for taking it calmly. Just enjoy your breakfast and the nice day. It is nice here...

    Dory had a checkup at the vet today. She was found to have hookworm so she just got some pills for that. Otherwise all good. We talked about the increase in periods of anxiety. If starting back the...

    The Moroccan bean dish sounds good. Today was "Caregivers Day" at the state capitol and the Oklahoma Hospital Association had lunch for us then sent us all to lobby our representatives. It was...

    Stars, a meal I don't have to cook is almost always better than one I do 😎 I find myself hoping that the way Gma goes is that one morning she just doesn't wake up. So much easier for her and...

    Hubs texted earlier that the heating element on the furnace stopped working and so it was replaced today. And the freon refilled for the AC (it has a slow leak) so there went $154 -- thank goodness...

    Binx sprayed my side of the bed again. It gets the comforter and sheet that hang over the side. I think this must be REVENGE pee for making him take pills. But then he wants to cuddle. Grrr....

    I took care of a patient once who had an abdominal fistula like that. I felt so sorry for her. The skin was excoriated and so tender because it was so challenging to contain the drainage. She was nice...

    We had the twice-baked potatoes (Hubs' choice). It's about 45 degrees out and sunny. Dory is back at it. Nothing satisfies her for long. Tortellini soup sounds good. Well, back to the

    I'm waking up slowly with a cat in my lap and coffee by my side. Dory's anxiety is really ramped up. Might have to start her back on meds for cognitive dysfunction. Naturally as I type this she...

    I have a "dermatology quiz" and a "cardiology quiz" popping up on my right. The dermatology is about a steroid cream and the cardiology is about classic MI symptoms. So I don't know if we're getting...

    Joe, too bad the cookbook group was disappointing, but you never know until you try. It sounds as if there are some local people here who want to have a pickleball setup at one of the parks. It looks...

    Twin B flew before he drove but he didn't stick with it so that tells me he didn't love it. We had a really nice opportunity at the time for him to take lessons without spending a

    18 is a pretty old cat. Our Minnie was 19 when she passed but we really probably should have had her euthanized before then. I think Dory's OK. I couldn't reproduce the reaction when I touched...

    Insurance payments, in general, are getting out of hand. Some days I feel very insurance-poor. Between what we pay for homeowner's insurance, auto insurance, health/vision/dental insurance, life...

    It has been raining and cool (57 right now) all day. Gma was yelling first thing this morning because she wouldn't change her underpants. She couldn't understand how to do it herself and if Hubs tried...

    I've just had to listen to Hubs getting his mom to bed. She went willingly enough but when she had to pull her pants down to sit on the toilet she freaked out and got defiant. Then she starts cussing...

    Joe, my last choice for my book club was pretty widely panned by the group. Even I haven't finished it yet as it was a bit of a slog. Still waiting for the next selection. After choir practice I...
