Joe, you have to share that recipe. I like all things Asian. Sorry your day was so busy. FIFA seems to be in the news a lot over this and that controversy. I read the Iran team is based in Mexico because of our war with them. Today we had adequate staffing for a change and the day went so much smoother. Off the weekend.

Ted I think retired from hospital work and is doing something away from the bedside. Lil Nel lost her horse a few years ago. I wonder about people sometimes and miss them. There are a few daily thread members that are posting on FB but not here so at least I can keep up with them.

OMG, even I know what the World Cup is, only the biggest sports event in the world where billions of people follow and watch. LOL There's a stink about the US not allowing a referee from Sudan in because he might be a terrorist. Shameful. A coworker is going down to Miami with her husband to catch a match with Brazil. They are from Sri Lanka and like most of the world "football" is a big deal. They paid $2,000 for tickets. Dianah, I was not off today. Work sucked.

Good Morning! Joe hope you have a good day today. I got up at 4:45 and fed Waffles and went back to bed. Woke up two hours later. Still tired but trying to motivate myself to go to hot yoga here soon. Need to do some meal prep for the next couple of days. I like the era I'm in: being 67 and mostly healthy with a retirement fund, an emergency fund and no debt but do not like having to work overtime to maintain it while remodeling and doing things around the house. LOL

Stars, your post showed up fine. I know you watch a lot of movies and am glad to see you review one here. I remember see that movie years ago. Probably rented it on Blockbuster and remembered I liked it. Osmet was a really good child actor. David, I agree. As messy as the lead was, he was relatable and someone whose side you were on, despite the mess he made of his life.

Never heard that quote either. J22, glad you're feeling better. My overtime shift was a mess. My patient came back from surgery with a fast running CBI that the urologist said to not titrate. It as a pain. Off tomorrow. Really need to sweep and mop the house with is one of my main goals for tomorrow. Best friend sent me an article that it's best to cut coffee consumption nine hours before sleep according to some studies. Bleh

DIdn't mean "clock in" above, but I'm sure you know what I meant. Task Rabbit guy is here putting up the shelf. He showed me a scratch on the top shelf just to show he didn't do it and if I wanted to proceed. I'll cover it up but it's annoying but not as annoying as packing it back up and returning it. 2nd load of laundry is in and bathrooms are cleaned. Again, I'm trying not to fall behind because I'm working overtime. I did underestimate food and had to order take out Chinese for dinner last night. As the meme goes "Oh no, I'm devastated".

It's still saying "server not available" when I clock on the site and have to click on another time. Usually I can get here the second time. J22, hope you get some energy back and feel better. I have one day off and my overtime shift is tomorrow. I have a load of laundry going and other to go. Will do some cooking and go to the gym. The usual. The Task Rabbit guy to put together another set of shelfs will be 45 minutes late like last time. I'm not too annoyed but want to get on with it.

Good evening! I might have to start watching those historical documentaries that Netflix is coming out with. Seems interesting. Stars, I would say selling your husbands tools is money for you. Money from Nannie or her husbands stuff no. But I'll mind my business. They pulled a nurse at 8:30 to cover a sick nurse and they gave me six patients and I was behind the entire day. That's all I'll say. I stayed calms and graceful about it but I was extremely mad, as was the nurse that had to float. Why come in sick and then realize you can't work because you're sick. Anyway that's all I'll say about that.

Good evening Joe, hope you had a good outing. Nice of you to take such an early shift. Stars, hope the aches and pains are minimal and you get stuff done. We remained short staffed today and I had a 6:1 assignment. Needless to say no charge nurse duties got done. I also made a med error in my business, but I also blame my scanner for not working. I had to reboot it twice. Had it been working I might have caught my error instead of giving the patient the wrong dose. But ultimately it's my fault and I am seriously bummed I pulled the wrong medication. Even with 6:1 and being in charge I need to breath and focus more. Back tomorrow and if no one calls out we will have one more nurse than today.

Is This Thing On is a movie directed by actor/director Bradley Cooper. It stars Will Arnett and Laura Dern in the starring roles and Cooper in a small supporting role. It is very well acted and the story is good. It's about a 20 year marriage falling apart and the husband taking solace in stand up comedy. They both find themselves as individuals and a couple. It has mostly positive reviews but didn't make a splash at the box office. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/is-this-thing-on-will-arnett-bradley-cooper-film-review-2025

Good morning! 4AM is quite the commitment Joe. I slept pretty well out of fatigue on half my sleeping medication and didn't get up through the night but got up before 6AM in time to feed Waffles. I have my sheets in the wash and am having breakfast and will head to the gym and grocery store. I need to meal prep lunches for the next two days at work. I think a pasta dish I made the other day should feed me for dinners the next three nights. I need to make some sides. Best friend is making chicken wings for lunch and invited me over. I made a promise to myself to not fall apart during the coming weeks of being short staffed and working some overtime. By that I mean just being disciplined to get stuff done, meal prep, not let things pile up but also self-care through some rest and doing relaxing things like reading or watching TV. That includes saying no and putting stuff off that doesn't take priority. I made a nice paycheck today due to overtime and it paid for my shelves, so that's $1,000 off my credit card and it's back to zero. I want to get some stuff done but not retire in debt thus the overtime. I'm still looking ahead to retirement. Each rotten day at work, which is every day, reminds to trudge on towards that goal.

No need to explain again. I understand. I do sometimes scratch my head and wonder "what did I say this time"? LOL.

G'day. I too sometimes can't shut off my mind in the wee hours. My meds get me to sleep but if I wake up like I did the last two nights it can be rough. No help today and I had a 4 patient assignment and it was a busy one. Off tomorrow. A nurse already called off for tomorrow but I can't do extra as I'm working the weekend. I promised myself the last time I did five in a row to never do that again. LOL

Even if it was, and it wasn't, do long drawn out thoughts have to be approved? Asking for a friend. 🤣
