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.

    Joe, that sounds nice that your dad will make the trip with you. Yes, that meeting had some irritating elements. Also got me thinking about old grievances. I, too, loved going to the Art...

    Sorry about your car, J22. Stars, I'm glad the neck pillow will keep Nannie from losing her head 🙂 I kind of enjoyed the leadership team meeting at the church but since then have been...

    58 and sunny today, but just wait 'til tomorrow! Yeah, I saw that Bob Ueker passed away. Getting ready to head out to meet with my book club. Have been yelled at by another patient today and...

    Congratulations on the job offer, Tweety. At the very least, it is affirming that they offered it to you. That soup sounds like something I would like, dianah, but I'm afraid Hubs would not even...

    Tweety, my friends in Arizona have talked about the trouble and expense of refreshing/repairing stucco regularly. Hope all is in place soon. I'm sure all the contractors have their hands full. But so...

    Stars, I've had lapses like that with my phone. It was plugged in all night so while isn't the battery charged? Maybe because the charger isn't plugged into the outlet? Joe, I was surprised we...

    The snow fall started this morning, not sure exactly what time. I only know that when I drove to the hospital at 6:30 it was not snowy and when I left to pick up some Rid shampoo from a local pharmacy...

    We have snow in the forecast Thurs and Fri. Probably not much. It's a balmy 32 at the moment but was 15 when I drove to work this morning. I would much rather have snow than ice. I've slid and wrecked...

    I agree, Tweety. One of mine is a patient we get from time to time and he is always grumpy and complaining. But one of the others (not mine) was also complaining a lot. And even my "nice" one griped a...

    Once when the boys and I helped sort donations after the letter carriers' food drive, the oddest thing we found was canned alligator. 🤢 The morning at the hospital wasn't bad at all. Only 5...

    If it was Abbott and Costello (I think that's what Joe said) I'm sure an 8-yr-old would be quite amused. The wind is howling and the temp has dropped to 26. Forecast is 15 by 8 am tomorrow....

    I'm sure the increase in respiratory ailments is widespread. It's sure keeping us busy, and since it's also affecting staff... well, I get to work a half shift tomorrow on med/surg. I don't know...

    Joe, I wonder if you can find the hot chocolate online (and then, if the price with shipping is worth it. The 55+ ladies hike didn't happen due to illness. I did not have to work today or...

    Hah! I tried making fudge last night and ended up with something more like chocolate gravy. Either I need to find/replace the candy thermometer or just use fudge recipes that don't require one. Soft...

    Wow, the Chatty CG covered a lot of territory in that 25 minutes. Sweet little Turbo turned out to have an invasive tumor so she was euthanized this morning. She would sit in my lap and demand...

    There were 6 patients on the floor at the end of the day yesterday and one nurse (and an aide) so I went in to help get through the med pass and came home around 10:30. Twin A got home shortly after...

    It's a nippy 40 degrees here on its way to a high around 49. Yesterday the high was around 70! It will be back up to mid-50s later in the week but cold again with rain/snow possible by Sunday. I'm...

    Joe, glad you got to get together with your sister's family. Even if you don't have much in common, maintaining that connection is healthy. Says the person who hasn't called her brother or sister ......

    Funny, Stars. Hubs was just telling me that his mother is driving him insane. Thing is, he's been hiding/napping in the bedroom while I have been taking things away from her -- like the box of...

    The very expensive half-gallon of milk that I bought at a convenience store Christmas night (it had a date of 12/25 on it) turned out to be curdled. Probably just as well that I didn't also buy a...

    LOL. Hubs just brought my keys. I was right to suspect Gma. She had gotten into the box of Christmas ornaments, removed some lights from the box they were in, and placed the keys in the box. How Twin...

    Happy Boxing Day! Joe, I love On the Town. Well, come to think of it, I love *all* those movies. We had 1-2 presents each, too, and our stockings were stuffed with candy (and lip balm). And...

    The cantata went well on Sunday. At tonight's Christmas Eve service I had volunteered to do a reading and ended up doing a lot which made me a little nervous but all was well. I've made desserts...

    Hubs and I ventured out to Wally World. It wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I got a butane torch because I want to make creme brulee. I still want to make it to the bookstore. The tree is up but not...
