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.

    Yes, Tweety, I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip but it seems it was the right thing at this time. I'll join in the praise of ordinary days! My brother and I were just saying how "boring" is...

    Hubs and I occasionally enjoy a popcorn-for-dinner night. Sometimes with sliced apples and cheeses. He likes to have Summer sausage, too, so sometimes we do. Went to church this morning and had...

    Oh boy I am imagining Gma's slurping noises being amplified and it is not pretty! Stars, I can only think of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (?). 3"of rain in a few minutes is a lot. Wake-up...

    What a day. We've been without water at the hospital all day. The city just notified us that their repair did not hold so they will be starting over. We discharged the one patient we had on the floor....

    I bought dal made with ... squash? and took it to work for lunch one day. While not exactly spicy hot, it did have a very strong cumin flavor. I like cumin but it was overpowering. Hubs doesn't care...

    I had to share with y'all my morning laugh. I got an email advertising a falls prevention workshop. It will feature, and I quote, "a panel of aging professionals from across Oklahoma." 🤣Hey, I'm an...

    One thing that bothered me about The Thursday Murder Club was when the one guy collapsed, the retired "trauma nurse" checked for a pulse then said, "He's dead." No CPR or anything. Oh,

    That's a funny story, Stars. Joe, I would be frustrated about the travel plans, too, especially since you already changed once to accommodate her. Glad the cat had a vomit-free day. With our two...

    No excitement here (thank goodness?). An interesting group spoke at church today. They provide support for people getting out of prison. Then we sang hymns at the nursing home this afternoon. I...

    Had a vet named Dr. Hiss. There's a radiologist Dr. Wray-Beam. It was a good day. At 90 degrees it didn't feel like fall but I was in a fall mood so made beef stew. I bought the meat from a...

    One of my issues with Twin A's book of recipes from the video game is all the unusual-for-us ingredients, some of which are hard to find. So here I am with this package of almond flour. And the...

    I'm struggling to stay on task. And failing 🙂 A small kitten appeared at the hospital door by the maintenance dept. It looks just like the 2 cats that hang around and get fed (they're all...

    I didn't win my race against the clock to finish my book before it was snatched back by the library app. So I put another hold on it and am 20th in line. What I get for picking something that's...

    Oh, dear, Stars, that's kind of sad. Not much going on here. It's 80 degrees, sunny, 44% humidity and very pleasant. Will warm up quite a bit by midweek. Hubs continues to paint the boat. He was...

    Heh. I overuse parentheses and I'm not planning to change! Joe, I'm sure anxiety had a role in my symptoms the other night. I also think I should try cutting back on caffeine. Probably not...

    I do love oatmeal raisin cookies. Might have to make some! Hubs thinks all cookies should be chocolate chip cookies so I'd have to make some of those, too. Recipes do matter. Yesterday I made...

    I review ER visits, mainly to look for transfers. And deaths. 😕. But can't help noticing some of the chief complaints. Last week several seemed to involve wasp stings, including one guy who was...

    Joe, I couldn't get interested in Dune. But then, I couldn't read the book, either. I was a teen when I tried so I might have been able as an adult but there are many other things to read! The...
