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 guys planned and shopped for and cooked (I helped a little with the cooking) French toast with strawberries and whipped cream, choc chip pancakes, sausage links, bacon, and eggs. Oof! It was all...

    Oh, now you've reminded me that I need to get a refill of the dog's robaxin. And both dogs are due for their heartworm prevention. See what I mean about pets keeping us broke? Hubs had a metal...

    Guess I got a day behind and posted on Sunday's thread today. J22 just reminded me that I noticed a small crack in the windshield of the car that is leaking coolant (and needs a brake job). Cars...

    Wow, dianah. I'm glad you are safely home. And it sounds like the festival was good until the weather went wrong. Saturday night Twin B called and asked me to take his ear buds to the hospital...

    Only 103 today according to my phone. Twin A put in his shift at the zoo. Whew. I have a Stouffers lasagna in the oven (heating up the kitchen and dining room) since that sounded pretty good...

    Hey, all! I'm glad to see the end of this week, though I still have things to finish up before Monday. I tried reading Anna Karenina and didn't get far. Afraid that I'm too easily distracted by...

    I know that ultimatums (ultimata?) aren't very effective with addicted folks, but I'd be inclined to say if Mr. Stars can't/won't get sober then his mother needs to be somewhere that she can be taken...

    Well, this sucks. The power was only out for about an hour so not a big deal. But when I put the cobbler back in the oven I left it too long and burned it. ? so we bought a cake to take. Was a...

    The power went out. I had a peach cobbler in the oven for the dinner at church tomorrow and was finishing up laundry and packing. The cobbler is probably a goner. And the things in the dryer were not...

    I have a bit more stuff to do at the office before flying out tomorrow so drove over. Thunder has been rumbling for a couple of hours but the deluge started during my drive so I'm sitting in the...

    Beautiful pictures, J22! Enjoy your potluck, Joe. All has been quiet at home. Gma tells herself long stories (she can go on for hours) but I guess it keeps her entertained. I forgot to give...

    The boys and I had planned to go to a movie tonight but Twin B got called in to work. The other night shift clerk has some chronic health problem -- I'm not sure what but maybe Crohn's disease or...

    Joe, I've camped at Turkey Run. Nice park. And, yeah, I've had those "still in college" dreams -- usually I have forgotten an entire class all semester and now it's too late to do anything about it....

    I think the hand soap I have currently is a Mrs. Meyers product. The one in the bathroom is lavender. In the kitchen is lemon verbena and I really like the fragrance but for some reason it takes me...

    Aromatherapy does sound interesting, especially if you can reduce use of opioids and benzos. I used to joke about aerial spraying of prozac or ativan but lavender might be

    Oh, dear. That will be me someday worrying that no one came to my inservice! It is interesting to see how Gma's brain (pathways?) change. A few weeks ago all she did was arithmetic. "2 and 2 is...

    J22, walking around Boston left me with achy feet last fall! And tendinitis that still hasn't settled down. I should have worn better walking shoes. But there were interesting things to see and so...

    I find it inconvenient, too. When I'm less chatty, you can probably assume I'm using my phone. Hoo boy, last night Gma went on an hours-long tirade and whine-fest. She insisted Hubs is not her...
