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.

    Flu is definitely a big factor for the ER. While we have had some flu admissions to the floor, I'm not sure it's enough to drive a higher

    Sure enough there was a thin layer of ice this morning. Hubs drove me to work and will pick me up while bringing Twin B, who agreed to work 1700-0500 to help maintain bare-bones coverage. Now it is...

    I wish Stars could take Momo and spend a couple of days away! Joe, the jazz concert sounds like it was a hit. The computers were slow at work today and it took a long time to get done the...

    I loved Danny Kaye. My blisters are from friction, not heat. Hubs picked me up from the airport (we were delayed about a half hour) and we picked up food from a local diner. That was our...

    No offense here! Just a wow, that's weird. I read about an eagle cam where yhe eagles died and those who know about these things say it was likely due to bird flu. So they've been watching the...

    Happy Valentine's Day! That was a bizarre display, dianah! I don't want to leave this warm weather but here I sit at the airport waiting to go home. I *know* that the cold spell(s) won't...

    I guess they had some ice at home. Enough to make roads slick but maybe not weigh down power lines. Twin A did drive to a doctor appr 20 miles away. After we escaped the chilly conference room I...

    Uneventful travel (perhaps a bit bumpy on takeoff from Dallas). I have a large (to me) suite. Spent some time in the pool before dinner. The water was warm but the air a tad chilly for a wet person....

    Tweety, that is indeed sad about your neighbor. Hope you've had a good night bowling. dianah, that low-carb pizza sounds good. It's worth a try on my guys. Tonight I made an eMeals recipe for...

    I need to kick myself into gear because the hospice NP is coming to evaluate Gma for recertification. I don't think there will be a problem since she is not eating (but will still drink Boost). I'm in...

    Can't believe I didn't even check in with y'all yesterday. I've had a lot to do at work and felt pressured every minute, it feels like. Taking a moment for a breath now. Hubs had agreed to meet...

    My late brother-in-law once said to my sister something along the lines of "I realize your inability to go to bed before midnight is genetic." My family did, indeed, stay up late when together for...

    Sunshine is a definite mood-lifter for me. Add a warm, gentle breeze and I'm practically giddy! It's supposed to be up to 67 tomorrow, so today was a weird little dip. It will get colder again by...

    81 degrees today, so yeah, unusually warm for February. But will drop to 39 tonight and only get to 49 tomorrow, according to the handy weather app on the phone. Pasta with alfredo sauce sounds...

    Glad you're feeling better, Joe. Hello, all. Fairly dull weekend here. I did go in to the hospital last night to try to make sure night shift was able to document the outpatient infusion....

    The comedy club was fun. Of course, ER humor will include some reference to objects placed in certain orifices, and I told Hubs we had to expect that. 😉 The warm-up act was a tad more obscene...

    I could use that change in venue, too. It was foggy here the last couple of days and that hasn't helped. Tonight Hubs and I are going to a comedy club. The comedian is Steven Ho, and the topic is...

    Well. I accidentally hit the down arrow to react to J22's post -- before I even read it. I fixed it. I've never been to Ikea. I'm pretty sure there is one in OKC. Not a very productive day...
