What do you mean my dog is not a poodle mix?!?

-
Last night was a terrible night for sleeping. This is the first time in a very long time that I had a nightmare, I mean, a wake you up, your heart is pounding nightmare. No time to analyze it this morning. Still have to jump in the shower and get to work woo hoo! It's my last day! Sort of the new nurse apparently doesn't start for two weeks. Not sure how the big guy is going to handle nurse duties for that long. I can say "not my problem" but I can't do it.

 On a more concerning note I received a message that my cute little dogs are not what I thought they were! I think that contributed to my nightmare... I mean really they are so cute and so not poodle mixes. Lhasa Apso and Shih Tzu 50/50. Poodle was easier to spell  and to say. I guess that doesn't account for the lion in my nightmare. But it might.

 Well off to a very long day. Lots of ground to cover in getting things ready. Another going away party?! Wow quitting turned out to be so much fun! As I introduced the new nurse and saw her reaction to our "relaxed but covered" scheduling I saw the future of my staff members become very gloomy. She has no intention of working around anyone else's life. I guess that's just business but really it helps keep staff happy if you work with them.

 Another 1800 exit and an upset resident that I can't please. I hope the new nurse is up for the challenge.. I am tired and off to bed.

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
