'Tis the season

Oh, the holiday parties, lunches, etc. begin. We recently got our decorating requirements from the safety staff at the Hotel: no lights near patient beds, no blocking egress with trees or decorations, or covering up fire alarms (yes, they have to tell people that).

The weird requirement, though, was the "No decoration can cover more than 10% of a door". Guess I have to tell the elves that the fancy bow on our door is actually over the limit.

If that's not exciting enough, it's always fun when I'm off work and see some of our fine floor unlicensed nursing staff out shopping at 9AM. The local mall is located two miles from the Hotel. It's not lunch time, either.

Oh, I so want to call the house supervisor, to ask if he/she knows where all his/her employees are, but I know nothing will be done.

Stay tuned...

There really is a Santa Claus

1. Congress passed a budget extension. Guess they were afraid of what might happen on Christmas morning. (or Hanukkah, which is even closer, or Kwanzaa...pick your day).

2. Some people don't just go out and give in the traditional ways. They drop in from no where and make it happen.

3. Even if you can't give a lot, you can make a difference.

To top it off,  my group won the Hotel holiday decorating contest with a wild idea from up north. Yes, sirree!

Mr. Marine, you've got it right, it is a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and a Maximus Festivus here in RehabLand.

A sweet tribute

I love Cake Wrecks. As an amateur cook/baker/decorator, this is one of my favorite sites out there.

So I really enjoyed the latest version of Sunday Sweets, where they feature really cool cakes. Check out this week's version dedicated to police, fire, ambulance AND medical personnel, including nurses.

Hope you do too! More later...
