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.

    As I generally expected, there was one muffin left when I got home last night. Everyone liked them, though Hubs says he would prefer "just banana" -- forget the blueberries. Funny, because I was...

    Inspired by you all, I made blueberry-banana muffins last night and that was my breakfast this morning. I suspect that with my crowd at home (both Twin A and Twin B are on "vacation" this week) there...

    Beautiful day here and Hubs and I are relaxing at the table outside. I've been reading Hidden Valley Road, a nonfiction book about a family with 12 children: 10 boys then 2 girls. Six of the...

    Joe, I hope you've had a nice day off. Tweety, let us know how your tofu dish turns out. Stars -- oh, my, Tinker! At least now you know what she's capable of (LOL) and can be prepared. Binx...

    I went overboard with calendars this year. I bought a notebook-style calendar year at the bookstore that was part of my Christmas stuff. And forgot about it, I guess, so bought a similar one for my...

    Joe, you've jumped ahead a day. I was momentarily confused by the time warp. When I drove home yesterday, the car thermometer said 106. The "real" temp, depending who you want to believe, was 99...

    Joe, do you use the muffins as desserts/snacks through the week? I'm planning to make another banana bread since we again have overripe bananas. It could be muffins, instead. More portable that way....

    Tweety, I hope your fortunes turn around over the next week! Hi, Tinker! The weekend was OK. I went to the memorial service for a church friend on Saturday. And Hubs and I went to church...

    How exciting for your friend to be looking forward to being back in his home, Tweety! Joe, are you looking to change the dates of your trip to Milwaukee? dianah, enjoy your visit with your...

    I'd like to visit the PNW sometime. Closest I've been is Utah. After all, it was just last year I finally made it to the west coast! Yes, a spay/neuter clinic would be less $$$$ than the vet's...

    94 and feels like 103 but we have a heat warning for tomorrow afternoon with "feels like" temps up to 110. I dress for the chilly air in the hospital, though, usually in layers. It's going to be a hot...

    Growing up I was much more of a cat person but we have had dogs that I loved and now I think most dogs are wonderful. Hubs thinks chihuahuas and other small ones are indeed the devil's dogs. My...

    I'm kind of hoping the little chihuahua needs a home, too. Went with the boys to watch Superman last night. We enjoyed it. I was mistaken about their having been discouraged from watching it....

    I'm interested in seeing Superman. Hubs rarely goes to movies anymore, and of course there's Gma to think about. Twin B has read things online that make him think he wouldn't like this one. But I...

    We have watched and enjoyed Knives Out and The Glass Onion. Yesterday I picked up the glorified pulse ox for my home sleep study. It uses Bluetooth to send data to an app on the phone. It...

    85 degrees with a "feels like 90" and humidity of 65%. I don't know but Saturday it was 85, 75% humidity, dew point 75, and absolutely miserable. I know because I spent 2 hours at the church's "booth"...

    That looks really pleasant, J22. Joe, I hope your week remains tolerable while covering for someone else and doing your job as well. Tweety, yay for a good dental report, boo for expensive...

    That's beautiful, J22! So glad no need for intervention for your dh. Very little going on here. I keep getting letters from some land company that wants to drill for oil in the area. They...

    I hear you about wanting some alone time. I could get so much done if everyone else took a little vacation and let me stay home alone. I run off to my bedroom because it needs to be quiet (and more or...

    Tweety, that's good that the work on your friend's condo is finally under way. Joe, hope the happy hour is fun. So, what's the status of Chatty CG? dianah, I feel kind of bad for the...

    Back to a more normal schedule today, though I did drive to NW OKC for a meeting this morning. Tweety, I do get paid when I end up working a shift. Not a lot, but I get paid. Our nurse manager went to...
