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.

    now that I've "caught up"... A belated Happy birthday, Joe! Hope you are enjoying time off. Tweety, sorry to hear about your sister. Good that your brother thinks your folks are OK by...

    Happy Thanksgiving! Hubs has left me alone with Gma at his niece's while he plays music with his friend. Brother-in-law just got back and brought cookies. Tomorrow we will visit stepdaughter and her...

    Hope you've enjoyed your day off, Joe. I'm still feeling really behind at work and I have the next week off. But I'm trying not to stress too much. Tonight is our book club's "Friendsgiving"...

    Joe, it's understandable to be a bit nervous. Change is usually uncomfortable. But I'm sure it will go well -- you are friends, after all. Hope you have a great birthday. Stars, I don't think the...

    Hi, Joe. Tweety, I bet you'll be glad to have the remodel finished. Sorry about the bowling team. Some seasons are just not the best, I guess. I'm fighting with a CDC website trying to get...

    I ordered some Clarks ankle boots online. I hope they fit and I like them. Trying to get more supportive (but flat) shoes that I can wear with "office

    We had a little snow. It didn't stick but looked pretty coming down. A crazy day at the hospital. Yes, by all means, your vomiting is a bigger emergency than that guy's chest pain. And of course this...

    Ah, Stars, hang in there. I guess we couldn't expect a straight trajectory to super-sobriety. Still, it's frustrating. You're probably right to be noncommittal. We are waiting for old friends of...

    We watched Weird, the Al Yankovich story. I did not realize but probably should have that it is a parody of a biopic. It was fun, and I needed a good

    Loved the picture with the seals. Im sure they're hard to photograph. Tweety, hope your shift was a good one. Joe, birdwatching sounds peaceful. Finally bought groceries and spent a...

    Liked the idea of Chinese food so much I made sesame chicken tonight (with bottled sauce). Had some leftover diced cauliflower and shredded carrots and green onion so stir-fried that. Gma is...

    Chinese sounds good. It's Wednesday, so we will have pizza so Hubs and I can make it to choir practice. There are no actual "Chinese" restaurants in town but a Thai family has opened (and then moved...

    Gma is in a particularly foul mood tonight and just stewing in her anger and calling us all names. Twin A had not voted yet so both boys went to the polls and Twin B was able to do a provisional...

    Joe, glad the appointment went well. Hubs has had some really high triglycerides and now his PA wants him to start taking metformin. He's not excited about doing it, and his latest triglyceride level...

    Once again I'm being lazy. Joe, ranch beans sound good for a potluck. We had a special service for All Saints Day. I went (and sang with the choir) and Hubs stayed home with Gma. The boys got home...

    I hadn't thought about the Purewick but that might be a good solution for night-time. We use Purewick at the hospital, usually with good results. But yeah

    J22, I admire your effort to run in the cold rain. We are cool and wet, too. It was about 70 degrees in late morning but quite windy and by the time our conference ended about 4:00 it was 48 and...

    My post disappeared! Trying to get over my disappointment that Stars didn't win the big lotto. Gardening is a good thing and I do love home grown tomatoes but I haven't made the effort lately....

    Joe, that does seem a bit awkward but apparently not different from the J you've known. Tweety, I don't know anything about "Tar". We watched "Nope" on Halloween night and it was entertaining....

    diana, I know, right? A brand new hospital! The luggage is red. Hubs knows I like red (Sooner girl) so he was being thoughtful. I *might* have chosen another color, but it looks nice. The...

    2 girls came to trick-or-treat. That is all. I threw big handfuls of candy into their bags and we still have leftovers. These days there are so many "events" where kids go and get candy in a fun...
