Golly-gee-whiz! I stayed up again (late/early) and didn't wake up until 1 PM! Got Momo taken care of and then Nannie. I have been on-line reading about Tommy Smothers passing away. I wrote a comment (not here) after I read the story, but it was declined because I used Tommy's brothers Richard's "diminutive" nickname, like, um "Rick", but instead with a "D" at the beginning and a "y" at the end. ? Good grief!! Anyway, Rest in peace, Tommy Smothers.
Here we are with very gray skies, which our forecaster said would clear and it would get sunny this afternoon; so far there is NO SUNSHINE! Not even a peek!
My sister's X-mas presents to me arrived on the front porch during the worst of the rain and the cardboard box got soaked, so I set it aside to dry off. But now she is asking me if I've opened it yet, so I guess I'd better get to it!
More later!
G'day!
Worked the floor today and got an admission straight up at 7AM (without notice or report because no one cares about med-surg nurse stress). Got another admission at 6:30 and had to pass much of it off to the night shift, but I did draw blood and start her fluids. Sent three patients to surgery. All three will be returning on night shift. Night shift lately has been as bad as day shift.
Back for more fun tomorrow, but I think I'm in charge. Ugh.....
Hi. I slept until 1030 this morning because I was awake most of the night, just couldn't sleep through the aching. I've been a lot of wheat products, so plan to cut those out for some relief. Tried to jog, too sore. Managed a short dog walk. Cleaned up Christmas wrap, washed and stored serving dishes. Took youngest ds out for dinner for his birthday.
My dental hygienist suspects I grind my teeth, but I don't think I do. I've ordered a kit to make a bite guard.
I dislike grocery stores so much, I would likely use Instacart, but I have dh. He does an online order and then picks the order up, but then usually goes in the store too.
Weather continues warm and windy.

Ado glad everyone is feeling better today
NJ22 the holidays can definitely be tiring, I'm glad that New Years is usually not as involved as Christmas
Dianah glad that you are feeling better
Stars I don't think I've heard of that author before
Tweety that's unfortunate that you need both a crown and a root canal. I tend to grind my teeth as well
Thankfully yesterday wasn't too busy, we had a coworker who had little to do so she helped out a lot. Today we only have 2 people off so hopefully it should also be not too busy
Rest of the day was fairly ordinary. Decided my current diet was strict enough and decided against fasting. Stopped at the store and exercised. During lunch got the thing with my Christmas account straightened out with the bank
Today have grocery shopping after work, nothing else really planned
Will be in the mid 40s again, a bit warm for this time of year but cold compared with last weekend
