Or, Things To Be Happy About: 1. We joined Netflix for the sole purpose of catching up with Gossip Girl. Also, I watched the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars last night. David watches both of these shows with me, and actually likes them. 2. My house is clean, even the floors and couches. This is immensely soothing to my nervous system. 3. There is a Yankee Candle burning 24/7 on my mantle. 4. Watching Law & Order today, David spontaneously started singing to me, “Love In The First Degree.” He was inspired.

Working on the Monday after I’ve worked a weekend is always the worst. The only good thing about working weekends is that they are usually a lot more laid back. The bosses aren’t there, patient testing is cut down to a minimum, and there aren’t a million doctors, residents, and other random people swarming the unit. Plus, the people I work with over the weekend are my favorite coworkers. But Monday…ugh. It’s my fourth day in a row to work, and we have admissions all over the place. I’m still training a new nurse, which takes a lot of patience. Not to mention we’ve had some really tough patients lately. That sentence doesn’t even begin to describe what I mean….

What they do is drill holes in his hips to clear out some of the dead bone and relieve the pressure. He…

Hello again! Did you miss me? I missed you. Seriously, even though I’ve been blogging for about 8 years now, I didn’t know how important it was to me until I had absolutely no access to my blog. I don’t consider myself a writer, but apparently I like to write. If you consider this writing. Anyway, most of the technical difficulties have been worked out, and now my brother is very diligently working on a long overdue redesign of this site, considering how the header still says “engagement edition” and I’ve been married for five months now.

Please bear with me as this website undergoes some changes. I’ve been having some difficulty in the technical arena and as a result I am migrating from one hosting company to another. Once that is resolved hopefully the software issue can get fixed and then I will be able to post pictures again. THEN the new design will go up, which is way overdue! I am very excited about it, but until this all gets worked out posting will be light. I’m not anticipating that it will take TOO long, but who really knows? There are some good things and bad things happening in my life right now, and I hope to share them with you soon. In the meantime,…
