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.

    Well, she got 50 mg of seroquel this morning. And her antibiotic (in case there's a UTI) and a tramadol. Right now she is docile but then no one is making her do anything. She's having popcorn and...

    We have snow falling. Supposed to snow all night but all the snow will be gone by midday Monday. Oklahoma weather. Twin A has already been called and told to stay home tomorrow. Per tradition we...

    Thank you all for the kind words. It was a sad night. This morning Dory woke me. Hubs said she had been outside and she had food and water. We wondered if she's looking for Darby. Then I...

    Hey, all! I finally have a fully functional phone again (Hubs loaded all my stuff onto his old phone). I'm slowly getting used to the difference in interface (the important little buttons at the...

    The first time I was aware of an earthquake was when I was living in an apartment in Indiana, pre-marriage. There was long rumble -- like a heavy truck on the highway -- but it went on for too long....

    Glad you got those taquitos! I like those, too. I picked up prescriptions at lunch and now I'm waiting to hear from Walmart that my grocery pick-up order is ready. I did NOT call the...

    dianah, I hope you're staying safe and dry with that atmospheric river. Interesting term. There have been multiple small earthquakes all around us but we have not felt them. Maybe we are just...

    Hope you feel better quickly. I think coconut chickpea curry sounds good. Was it J22 who made hummus? Canned chickpeas or dried and cooked? How did you process them? I tried once and was...

    Welcome home, Tweety! Glad you enjoyed the trip and arrived home safely, even with the delays and such. Stars, Gma does the tidying-up thing and will even wipe her plate with a napkin. But then...

    Joe, the CIC exam is for infection control certification. Turns out Hubs will be gone most of the day. Thank goodness for the Gma sitter. I think that Twin A and I will do some errands and have...

    Ado Annie replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Daily Diary's Entries

    Happy Groundhog's Day! I haven't checked to see what the official groundhog forecast is, but here it definitely feels Spring-like at the moment. Expected to be 67 degrees, breezy, with scattered light...

    Another beautiful day. I went home a bit earlier than usual and Twin B said something about it so I said "Yeah, I decided I'd had enough for one day." He asked if things were that bad at the hospital...

    Our vet's office (I've spent a bit of time there lately) has 2 paintings of a French bulldog -- one is a kind of impressionist style and the other (not that I know anything about art) is modern with...

    Was that your grill only getting up to 67, TMB? -40 is unimaginably (for me) cold. Joe, fresh bread with herbed butter does indeed sound really good. I've worn out the charging port on my...

    Tweety, I'm glad you're having a good trip so far. Looking forward to pictures at some point! It is 45 degrees and raining here. Rained all day, and the water is getting deep-ish in places. No...

    Stars, Hubs has often expressed that he feels stuck like that, too. I hope you can get to where you know you'll have a certain day of the week "off" because your SiL will plan to have

    Joe, how far would you have to go to see the total eclipse? We have talked about trying to see the totality of the eclipse. First thought we might drive to San Antonio and visit my sister. Also...

    J22, I would need Hubs for that category of trivia. The freezing rain Sunday night made for a slick morning yesterday. The hospital is kind of in a hole: everything slopes down toward it. That...
