This one is making it around the internet - I got it as an Email. I never can leave anything alone, so I added pix from the lol sites. It's that time of year for us to take our annual senior citizen test. Exercise of the brain is as impo... Read more
When The Rains Come, Watch Out!
Tuesday, July 27, 2010      3 comments

I couldn't walk the pups yesterday - everytime I started to, it was raining. This is not a good idea with small, fluffy dogs. "Princess" Shalako doesn't like to get her toes or face wet, and "Macho" Samurai like to splash thru the puddles. Eithe... Read more

Wonderful Sleep
Thursday, July 22, 2010      7 comments

Since we were relatively overstaffed last night, the others let me leave about 0400. (By the time I'd finished up the last minute stuff, it was almost 0430, but close enough). Got home, washed my face off and brushed my teeth, took my meds, fed ... Read more

Or, Feast or Famine, as the case may be. We've been short-staffed due to injuries, and I was sick last week for a couple of nights. This week, TPTB have assigned 2 RNs from other areas to us. Came into work tonight, and we had 6 (six!) RNs, 3 te... Read more

I blogged a couple of times about the stray (feral?) parakeet that's been hanging around my yard. He's still there - I have "conversations" with him nearly evey day (I whistle and talk to him; he chirps and chuckles back). I've been making sure ... Read more

It's Africa Hot
