Sunday fun

We had to get up early to watch the gold medal hockey game. No sporting event is complete without food in our house, so we got donuts (and Bubba got a breakfast sandwich, too, just to make sure he had enough energy).

And while I was reading, I found this article on trends from the Olympics.

Sorry, folks, I already wear PJs at work (aka scrubs). I ain't wearing a onesie, unless I end up on the bobsled team. I grew out of those LONG ago.

And if that's not enough fun for you, head on over to Sunday Stealing for this week's Fifteen meme. My answers are below.

It's been that kind of a day

A B-52s kind of day to be exact. Dahey decided it would be the music du jour as I was finishing up some stuff before heading back to the office tomorrow.

So in between cooking dinner, watching every sport that's on (football and hockey) and pumpkin pie (yes it's Bubba's favorite), I'm gonna do this in a little bit, just to get some time for me.

Roam if you want to...'til next time!

Ringing bells

'Tis the season for bells ringing on television and out at your favorite stores by the Salvation Army.
 
And even a rehab nurse can find a topic of interest in the non-medical press. TBI is common among topics in rehab, mainly due to issues in young men and veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan.

In this week's NY Times, there's a series on hockey enforcer, Derek Boogaard, who often 'got his bell rung' in many, many hockey fights. Repetitive traumatic brain injury can cause chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

After reading this story, this is one bell I wish would not get rung.

More later...

Crazy

Bubba has been a mess lately. As a diagnosed sports nut, he is getting up early to check ESPN for all the sports scores before school. Baseball, football (college and pro) and hockey...it's all going on right now. Heavens!

Unfortunately, this caused him to misinterpret the news (in his sleep deprived haze) "Mom, my favorite player, Michael Jackson died."

"No, dear. Your favorite player is Michael Jordan, not Jackson."

Go back to bed!

It won't be any better at the Hotel. We have that illness, too--sports overload sweeping the unit.

Ugh...stay tuned.
