The end of the week

This is almost the middle of July. I hear the siren song of summer, since here in RehabLand, Bubba and the other kids will be in school before Labor Day early in the morning (clutching pearls).

I have many warm memories of starting school in September (when it was still blasted hot) and one year, I dreaded going to school since my classroom was on the second floor. I was in fifth grade. I had horrendous headaches that year. I figured it was the ragweed (since all the windows were open way back when).

The Hotel was hopping this week, and so was I. I actually got to go out on a field trip. That part was fun. When I wasn't busy doing that, I was getting some groundbreaking work done. Since I volunteer for pilot projects (because our boss volunteers our department), I got to work with some new stuff. It was so cool to make care work anywhere! It also helps that the patients like it, too!

I'm going to stop here. It's time to relax and enjoy what I have of the weekend: housework and a little fun. Vacation is in sight. I can't wait.

Stay tuned!

Learning something new

Well, since our specialist Dr. E-I is on vacation and we won't have his clinic this week at the Hotel, he left me with some work to do writing a grant.

Hopefully, I can convince the All Mighty Money Granting organization to send us some for a new project.

We'll see...

Monday, Monday

Oh, the joys of Monday.

First, Bubba is in such a rush that he forgets to take his medicine. I run back home, get it, administer and go to work.

Next, I go to work and my computer has some weird error message on the screen. I turn it off, then it won't go back on. Finally, after an hour of futzing around, it comes back on (after I unplug and replug every single cord under my desk.)

Maybe it just got too hot in the office over the weekend. (I love all the fancy thermostats in our office, which assume that it can go up to 90 degrees when I go home.

I surprisingly got a lot of work done on my big project, but now I have a new nurse shadow.

So much for finishing that tomorrow! Only time will tell...stay tuned.
