    Wow, we must have all been super busy on our shifts. No one posting lately.

    I picked up an extra shift last night. 6 hours sitting in my car, staring at tents, listening to homework text. Super fun.

    I spent last night in surgery. I was doing the surgery, not having surgery. I love doing surgery! Not much time to post though.

    Now I'm trying to get up the kahonees to get out and ride my bike with rain moving in.

    Do you think my neighbors would be mad if I ripped up all their lawns and replaced them with astroturf that never needs mowed, so I can get some sleep!?

    LOL. :smile: I can totally relate to that. Fortunately, my new neighbor has a fascination with mowing bare chested in the evenings so everyone can see his physique. He is well built, but I don't know that anyone in the neighborhood cares.

    Not much relief with the new vet. A lot of training and a lot of time spent looking over cases she is doing. She is catching on fast, but there is just a lot that needs to be learned.

    The energy you put into her training will be paid back in full when she gets up to speed. Then you can breathe.

    Three weeks ago my phone went into the lake off the wharf at high water.... water has dropped enough that my husband found it on edge between two large rocks. I've partially taken it apart (just the easy stuff at present) and have soaked those bits in alcohol and 'scrubbed' the crannies and contacts with a Q-tip under the liquid. Now comes the tougher part, I have to take out all the screws, take out the cameras, the speaker & mike, and anything else with a contact point and scrub all that up in alcohol too.
    Alcohol displaces the water if any is left and it cleans the contacts and helps get rid of any sediment from the lake water.
    Wish me luck, I'm following a Youtube tutorial for the same phone as mine that has had success with salt water accidents and 'going thru the wash with bleach & soap' accidents.

    I know whatcha mean.
    Phone is a bust - way too corroded thanks to the battery sitting in it for 3+ weeks. Still have the SIM card but haven't checked it over yet. Looks pretty pristine....
    Getting you all up to speed: I was in a 2 vehicle car accident in the afternoon of the 22nd on my way into town and my Honda Accord V6 was written off. The other driver was found 100% at fault and the insurance co. paid off decently but that only left us a couple days to find a new-to-us vehicle while we finished off the paid-for rental. BTW, loooooved the Impala we had for 2 1/2 weeks, but don't wan't to pay 42,000 for a car.
    Found a great 2005 Toyota Camry XLE V6 with very low miles on it - a local car with no accidents and full regular care from the dealership. A senior couple owned it - he was no longer allowed to drive - so it's been well taken care of and not 'ridden hard and put away wet.' The dealership dropped the price for us - especially appealing. Although it's not an exciting looking car, it's got plenty of room for toting around the aged parents and runs like a deer. I had exciting looking cars when I was younger, and will again when I'm older and have no need to chauffeur anyone more crippled than I.

    OK everyone.....
    your turn.

    I have been incredibly busy dealing with schoolwork, work, helping my mom, and a number of other projects. I've been dealing with a lot of emotional stuff from my past, as well. So all of that has kept me occupied.
    @canadjineh -Sorry to hear about your wreck and your phone- but hey, new stuff! I'm about to get a new phone myself, this one is dying of old age, even though it's only about 2 years old... :neutral:

    @sufferlandrian - you still alive out there?

    Maybe now that he has assistance in the vet office, @sufferlandrian has pulled a Rumpelstiltskin on us.... finally asleep, for 100 years (to catch up, lol).
    Sorry to hear about your emotional stuff, but it is good to work thru all that and you will feel better for it (not stuffing it in a mental box to pop out when you least expect). Hugs @jennifer_417! And Yaaay, new phone!

    Now in the middle of helping my parents sell their house (w/o realtor).... Nice younger couple with 3 kids and not much money so we all feel good. Mom & Dad will have extra money for their senior residence, and the couple will get a good home for a decent price. We aren't being greedy although house prices around here are atrocious. BC has some of the highest prices in Canada, and we are on the outskirts of a 4 season resort area with lakes and mountains.

    Reads for your next boring shift: Human Operating System blog on Circadian Rhythm Disruption and ties to Diabetes and Depression Very interesting - I subscribe to their blog and get all kinds of sci-info on latest health-hacking studies.

    Hope all is OK, @sufferlandrian.
    This was my busy day today, then I start 9 straight nights tomorrow. Ugh! (not looking forward to that.)

    Sorry you're having a rough go, hope things get better. Glad you've got your head above water enough to check in, at least, I was getting worried!
