Hi Tweety

Stars glad Momo is doing good

Ado thankfully none of my cats have sprayed

Another good day at work yesterday, busy but not too busy.  Hoping the pace doesn't change too much, if I start getting a lot of new cases again things would become more difficult

After work did some cleaning and exercises.  Worked on the dating apps too.  Chatting online with one guy.  Started off good but now it feels like I have to do all the work to  keep the conversation going, so this may be a dead end.  If so I'll move on.  Glad today you have more options to interact with someone online before you talk to them on the phone or in  person

Today have to take the cat to the vet, moved the appointment up due to the excessive hairballs, probably needs her tapazole dose increased.  Also plan to have lunch with dad and do some baking.  Might go out bird watching, though given how busy today is I might  wait until next weekend.  

Svengoolie has The Invisible Man's Revenge, which I remember as kinda dull, so I'll skip that and watch Carmen instead

Going to be quite warm today, up to 60

Good morning, all. It's gray and rainy, and too cold for my taste, around 40. Yesterday was blah, didn't do much, except take dogs for a walk. It was windy, and something about the wind just makes me edgy. The builders were here all day, they have about 1 1/2 days left. The new doors look great. They are taking a great deal of care on the finish woodwork, which I can appreciate. It's a struggle to keep the dogs out of the way. The little one will sneak out bits of scrap wood and chew them, and has stolen a glove more than once. We went out for Indian food at a new place. I thought it was quite good, but the spices have been reminding me that they are indeed, spicy. 

We may drive south towards Seattle today to get some particular plant starts that dh wants, however its 1120 and dh is still in his pjs. I've been out for a jog than was more a walk, because my knees and feet are achy. For some reason, my calves wanted to cramp, too. I did see a cute Bernese puppy that was all fluff and feet. So cute! 

We have risk for train derailment around here, in fact we've had 1 small one that leaked out some oil. There are 2 oil refineries near here and the train goes right through our town. They carry Bakken oil, which can be quite explosive. So year, emergency services works on plans just in case. 

Sis is fostering an old Maine Coon cat, and he is so handsome! Even though he's fluffy, he doesn't shed much so hair balls don't seem to be an issue. Yet, anyway.

I wouldn't mind having an old Maine Coon Cat! 

Woke up 10:30-ish and took my AM meds. My right hip was aching pretty badly, so I put on a capsaicin wrap, lay back down, and next thing I knew it was 1:20 PM!!! ?

Got Nannie up to her chair, and right after she finished her yogurt, she promptly fell back to sleep. 

I guess we are both bored out of our gourds here.

G'day.

Worked today.  The ER is back to being busy.  We discharged 7 and got 7 admits in.

I told a coworker I was tired of being in a constant state of irritation.  I exaggerate because I'm pretty low key and upbeat but today seemed filled with annoyances.  Like I had to take my own patient down to CT scan, had to deal with a patient yesterday that refused to download the patient portal app that could provide him all the answers he wanted, so I emailed him some stuff.  Another patient wanting to go AMA, on and on and on.  

Anyway.

My illness seems to have relocated to my head with low grade fever and snotty drainage. Hubs is having similar symptoms. I think someone needs to burn some sage. LOL. 

Twin A cooked the pasta I brought home so everyone could eat. Twin B now has 4 nights to work 11-7 (Fri - Mon, I believe). 

I've done nothing today but put gas in the car and buy a few groceries. Left the house without my glasses. ?.My book club is meeting tomorrow evening and I haven't finished the book. Which is kind of bad given that I chose it. We shall see how I'm feeling. Several book club members are moms with young children so I sure don't want to go infect anyone.

Two and a half hours of watching House Hunters and neither of us spoke a word all evening. I told Nannie when it was 10 o'clock, and asked her if she was going to bed, or staying up. She wanted to stay up. So I left the TV on for her and will go down later and shut everything off.
