Little things

Lately, little things mean a lot, or little things can get on my nerves. I'm working hard to let the latter ones go.

Bubba waits for making decisions and it drives me crazy. I almost had a heart attack over him changing his mind about a field trip. I forgot important stuff and had to come back home before I could go to work. A little stop and check would have solved everything.

Some people get on my nerves at work. It might be their attitudes or habits or anything. I just think sometimes, it gets magnified. I am singing that song "Let it go" in my head a lot lately. I can't fix them, so I have to let it go. I'll let them fall on their faces first, because no matter what, they are right. Once they get scraped up, they'll get it.

It's time to live for the good little things, not the bad. Savor the good and let the bad ones go.

RIP Nelson Mandela

So many decisions to make...

Working up to Nurses' Week

I'm going to post videos and links to posts of note in honor of Nurses' Week: Delivering quality and innovation in patient care.


I really enjoyed this video from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Nurses shatter the stereotype. My favorite part describes my job in the Hotel, because nurses really do make important decisions about how healthcare is delivered. Yes! All that and more.

Nurses even serve in Congress and run Federal agencies.

With a film like this, c'mon, don't YOU want to be a nurse?

In the news...

I found this article intriguing, and I'm sure a few other nurses out there might, too.
Gotta go? You may make the best decisions with a full bladder (from www.yahoo.com)

So does that mean most of my coworkers, when we're on a busy shift, should have tip-top decision skills? If only it were that easy...

Another fave (I love it when they count...)
Five secrets women shouldn't keep from their doctors (also www.yahoo.com)

And finally, because I just woke up from a nap and I can agree...
One in three adults sleep less than 7 hours a night 

Stay tuned...now I'm awake, you never know what's gonna happen! Enjoy your day wherever you are.

RIP

Dear old coffeepot. You made our day every single day of the year. Since my old klunky espresso maker died, I've come to rely on you for that syrupy percolated blend made fresh every morning.

Now I've got to go shopping and finally buy a new coffeemaker. Too many decisions on a Monday.
