Party? Maybe...

I'm all ready, the food's ready and I got my first call-in at 10AM. One of my friends will be spending her time at the hospital with her hubby. He just had major surgery and is in a stepdown unit, which was not originally how they planned to spend this weekend.

The weather here is crazy. We're seeing rain, when usually in this area, all we'd see now are fluffy white flakes. When you can go outside with a light raincoat, you know something sinister is afoot. We'll just wait and see what happens.

The crock pots are warming away and so is my spiral ham. Off I go to glaze it...more to come.

Nuggets for June 10

Happy Birthday to my brother, AJ. (Now we're all in a row--37, 38, 39)

Here are a few goodies for the rest of you, in honor of today's birthdays and the political season.

In the news
Just in case you missed Hillary Clinton's trip to the hospital, Barack Obama shadowed a nurse in St. Louis today.

I hope no one coded on you, Senator.

After all the stories about bad tomatoes in the news lately, maybe buying local is the best thing after all.

The weird section
Monkeygirl always has something interesting, and I just about fell over when I read this one:
Life's little drain plug

It reminded me of Terry's post from earlier this year (from Counting Sheep) called Speechless.

Let them read this over your shoulder at work...
Showing the patient the door...permanently (from www.nytimes.com)
People were actually gasping behind me when they read this one over my shoulder yesterday.
It may have something to do with the fact that our docs might actually enjoy this with a couple of specific patients.
