Time in a Bottle

After staying up all last night (with the occasional brief doze as I watched TV), I tried to sleep today to flip back to my night shift schedule. I'd just fallen asleep when my security alarm went off - Wah-wah-wah!!! That'll get your heart poun... Read more

Got into work tonight @ 2315 for my 2330 shift (11:30P). Felt about 85% of par. Walked into a MESS!!! Very sick patient who took more than one person at a time to care for him (try 3) - so one nurse was assigned only to him. Evening shift left* ... Read more

OK, thought I was better. Slept most of the day, got up at 1500 (3P) to mail a book out for Book Mooch. Got home, harnessed the pups. A little queasy, but not too bad, until I got just over half-way out. Oh, no! Getting dizzy. I made it back (to... Read more

Sheesh - yesterday was so good! After walking the pups 2.5 miles, I went to the gym, did 2 miles on the treadmill and the circuit training. Went to the Furr's Buffet for lunch - yum. Did my shopping. Got home. Watched "Tommy Knockers" - a reall... Read more

The Birds!
Friday, December 31, 2010      5 comments

I'd left the bird cage open last night before I went to work - I do that sometimes to let them fly around. Usually, they return to the cage after a bit. When I get home, I close the cage, cover it, and they sleep while I sleep. Not today! ... Read more
