Still recovering...

But darn it, it was FUN!

Beautiful days no need for a coat. Pretty nights and safe surroundings. Fireworks I could watch from my room and music. Lots of rehab nurses from all over the place.

I learned a lot. I had fun meeting everyone. It was pretty cool.

Yes, it really was the happiest place on Earth for one brief moment now it's back to work.

Stay tuned...

Harbinger of things to come?

Sunday started with a migraine, which did not go away. It just subsided here and there until the migraine drugs came out (thankfully, no nausea and vomiting!)

Went over by the Hotel and saw one of my coworkers, F., getting ready for the night shift. Long discussion. Had to cut it short to do what I had to do and get two friends to bring home for Dahey and Bubba.

Those friends: Ben & Jerry. Yes, we ran out of ice cream (found this out yesterday) and you would have thought the world would indeed end.

But alas, as I'm leaving I saw it. The harvest moon

I hope F. has a really boring night.

That is all. Stay tuned...the night (and the week) is young.

It is Monday...

Boom, thunder, and now hail.

This day will certainly go out with a bang here in RehabLand, if a bunch of other storms won't get diverted.

We can only hope...

Dear Hotel Geek Squad

Yes, I realize you are under pressure to upgrade all the PCs in our building by the end of the fiscal year because the IT honchos told you to do so.

It is not, however, a good idea to not tell the nurse manager that at 0300, while nurses are writing notes, recording vital signs, etc., you guys (since there are no women involved) will be pushing PC updates over the network to many computers at the nurses' stations.

In case you forgot, nurses really do work 24/7. While you are snoring away and a computer is doing your work, nurses are doing theirs live and in person. You simply cannot do this without warning.

As my professor in nursing school used to say (because some IT guy said it to her), "If I want to break something or find flaws in how it works, I give it to a nurse." So if you disturb the night nurses, they will figure out ways to break your stuff. Off/on is not a good game to play on a PC early in the AM when updates are going over the network.

Just sayin'...be nice to the night (and really all) nursing staff.

Sincerely, really, so not kidding,

Your favorite nurse ('cause I fix the easy stuff so you don't have to),

Legends are lessons

Bubba, Dahey and I had a lot of fun watching Brave recently. We decided that sometimes, when the weather is just not good for going out, staying in is a better option.

As a kid, I always liked hearing stories, so this movie, centered around a legend, was pretty interesting.

With a warm home, snacks and a good movie, it was a lot of fun for all of us.

Stay tuned...
