Multiple headaches today

It all started around 3AM. The front bringing the crazy weather showed up then and the migraine started. Nausea was next, and then the dizziness started. I got some meds and it got better, but the dizziness continued. Snow started at 5AM.

Took the cure for the dizziness and waited. Was still dizzy. Called in sick to the happy nursing supervisor, who did not sound thrilled. Texted my manager and he/she was cool. Went back to bed.

Wind blowing woke me up. Branches broke off trees in our yard. Dearest brother called to tell me his electric was out at his apartment complex. The complex needed assistance and so I called some local agencies via 211, since the staff there were busy making people lunch and running heaters to keep them warm. Electric Company gave no ETA on restoring power.

Went over to give him my battery backup so he could call and text if needed. Somewhere on trip, my windshield cracked. Another headache. Thankfully, the electric came on right after I was over there.

Now, my moody teenager (who was off school) is crabby.

I'm ready for Calgon to take me away, folks. Off I go...stay tuned for more later.

May your day be wonderful wherever you are.

She'll end up like Martha

Martha Stewart that is.

Bubba recently went to a fundraiser at his school, Esteemed Educator Junior High. We sat in a group with a seventh grade girl from the Honor Society and her mother, who was very nice. Blondie was one of those highly strung types who was in love with Harry Potter and wants to be a business executive when she grows up.

I expected Blondie (not her real name) to not know Bubba because she  is in a different grade. She kind of looked at him with disdain. Bubba, thankfully, tends to ignore/not notice girls who act silly.

We played a version of Family Feud and Bubba and Blondie guessed most of the answers, since they came from a poll of the seventh grade. Blondie is also a member of the Honor Society who totaled up the poll results and scored them.

Blondie kept telling her mother, "I'm not cheating, I'm using my resources." I really had to bite my tongue. Let's just hope Blondie doesn't get it into her head to join any of the more trusted professions, like nursing.

Because she may have to learn first that what she is doing really IS cheating. As the old adage goes, cheaters never win.

More later...

Resources I wished I had

This article for my patient who was so very unhappy with her ex-husband's last name. If the former Mrs. U. comes in, I'll print it out.

More often than not, I'd like opportunities like this one to volunteer. Some of my coworkers need rejuvenation more than others.

After a wild, blood moon kind of week, I am so happy it's the weekend!

TGIF all wherever you may be!
