I've been home a lot this week: I learned my male cat loves my dog. My dog tolerates my male cat, but loves my female cat. My male cat loves my female cat, but not as much as he loves my dog. My female cat loves herself, tolerates the rest.
DRAMA!
You definitely have too much free time and need to get out more! 😉
I went to check but then I saw a bunch of drama so I just closed it. And these people keep trying to drag me in to it.
"Did you know so and so only gets her kids on the weekends and she doesn't care. You need to talk to her because as a mother..... yadda yadda." No, I don't need to talk to anyone. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
1. I recently became aware of this weekly thread and am mostly loving it so thank you OP.
2. Every once in a great while...you can steal 5 or 10 precious minutes and spoon feed ice cold frozen raspberry sherbet to a post-op patient with a sore throat who is perfectly capable of feeding himself yet he loves the 1:1 attention and you (as the nurse) remember the greater good and the human side of the sometimes cold, harsh medical world...it kind of reminded me of rocking a baby to sleep...some things just seem to stop time and make you forget the outside world...even if it's a just for a few short minutes. Genuine nursing at the bedside with a dash of caring conversation thrown in...I wish those moments were more frequent :) .

Dropping a vial of methylene blue when taking it out of the Pyxis means the floor will be sporting blue spots until housekeeping strips and rewaxes it.
Using a slip tip syringe instead of a luer-lock syringe to draw up the second vial of methylene blue isn't a wise thing either. 3 days later, I'm still showing blue freckles on my hands.
