Hello, my friends; I closed the door to the laundry room/bathroom last night. I opened the door and saw another wasp, so I killed it with spray. And got my last bit of laundry out of the dryer. Then I closed the door. Now I know they are in the attic. That is where this morning's wasp was. Katie, Jasper is so cute! Allie,…

Tracey, the church is praying for him. We have been with that church since we were married but they were devastated when he moved to MS. We will see what happens. My boyfriend of many years back proposed, but he wanted me to quit nursing school and support his education. So I said it was too soon to get married . So men do…

Hello Ladies, it is time for me to go back to work tomorrow. Busy day today. First, I would like to welcome Ange from the Colorado Mountains. Do you know how to ski? I always wanted to take lessons in Colorado. I have friends there too. Congrats on the new puppy. What kind of puppy do you have? Rebecca, early in my…

Hello Ladies; I finished a book called "The Summer We Ran" by Audrey Ingram. It was a pretty good read. I also worked on my calendar and need to send my work schedule for the last month, as I plan to work at UMMC. I got approved for my vacation in August. My friend wants me to wait, but I need some respite. Plus, I am…

Life with Rose❣️🦮😂 This what she was doing when I was done posting, on her back sleeping. XO, Mo in Ms

Hi everyone, I know I am late to the discussion on education. I cannot help but be angry at myself for not taking advantage of everything that I was blessed with. My big problem was that I had untreated ADHD. I needed the medication so I wouldn't have been so easily distracted. Yet, I was friendly and outgoing to a point.…

Hello everyone; I slept all day after working. Still tired, but I managed to catch up with everyone. I will post more tomorrow. I got my steps in Saturday night. I believe my friend could be correct in saying that working until 70 may be difficult. I will work as I go. Have a good night's sleep, everyone. Rose is knocked…

Hello Ladies; You guys never fail to give me good advice. My BP is great now, and the nurse is always surprised. I need to continue to exercise, because the MRI showed some ischemic vessels or narrowing of the vessels in my brain. So I am at risk for stroke. Losing over 100 pounds through diet and exercise probably…

Hi Everyone! I never did get to explain that Rose comes when called in the house, and she sits and lies when commanded. She even refused treats from other people. (During her training, the lady said to do this so no one can poison her.) When I say leave it, she will. All bets are off on coming when called if she gets out…

Hello Ladies, It's 11:49 pm, and I'm tired. I did nap today, and it was a good one. I did my laundry once I got my nap boost. I also loaded the dishwasher. ( I wash the dishes before I load them.) I had typed a lengthy recount of our day, but then my post disappeared. (WIfi issues:() Long story short, yesterday I…

Hello, my Friends; Dh arrived yesterday. I don't know what is wrong with me, but it takes time to get used to someone sharing this house with me. I was falling asleep, and he came up, and I screamed. He scared the life out of me. Yesterday, he prepped for his Colonoscopy. I thought it was weird that they only wanted him to…

Hello Ladies, and Happy Belated Independence Day. Lanette, I never did get an accent. My daughter has one, but my husband, I, and son do not. DH, many have said, has a New England accent because he went to boarding school in Connecticut, but he was from NE. I have a Californian accent. Many parents at the hospital ask me…

Hello Friends and Happy July! Happy Canada Day too!:) Thank you, Barbie, for bringing us into July. I skimmed the post to catch up. That four-day stretch knocked me out. When I got off Monday, I picked up some groceries and went home. Talk about showers. There have been no showers for the past two days. I took one this…

Hi everyone, I did my Step Aerobics without pain, but I am out of shape. Rose was in the way when I did push-ups and sit-ups. Then she thought my exercise mat was hers. Now she is on her back, sleeping. Rose was on her back, lying in the sun, too, then she got up to come and check on me. Debbie, it sounds like you can talk…

Wow, you all amaze me with your courage and strength. This forum comprises some mighty strong women, and it is an honor to be part of this group. With that said, I am ready to resume my exercise routine again. I have no excuse. My hips are fine, and I have my orthotics that are working great. I need to track my intake and…

Hi ladies, I got up at 2 am and played Wooduko, Math games, and Scrabble online. My family used to play board games, and my mother would play Scattergories with the sitter, DS, and me. We used to have a blast. I remember having a tummy ache from laughing so much. I read some too. I decided to put a load in the machine.…

Hello, my friends; After my stretch, I was exhausted, and I had bad headaches again. I have them at work too. I had a baby that I called "Squish" because she was so soft and cuddly. She would stop breathing. I had to turn her oxygen up to 4 Lpm, and I called the doctor, and she said, "She looks good now". I said she was…

Pip, Yogi's tongue looks like he is hiding a heart in his mouth. I fell in love with that water baby. I will miss him. I want him free of pain. Sending love to Yogi, her adopted siblings, you, and Kirby. Good-bye, sweet baby. Monique

Good Morning, ladies. Lisa, I love Corey. You have a gem of a husband. Allie, are you only staying one night in N.H.? I'm happy that you're going on vacation. I am glad you got a good night's rest. Delia is so pretty, and I can see golden highlights in her hair in the last pic. Since I am not a grandma yet, I can enjoy…

Hello Ladies; My 4-day stretch wore me out. We had one patient who was discharged and died at home. Our faceless baby with the tail that moved went home. I liked her. She had spunk. My favorite baby turned one last week and is showing off by biting his new teeth, taking himself off of the ventilator, and smiling about it.…

Hi everyone; My doctor's visit was pleasant yesterday., We my plans to move. I would feel better if DH got a reliable job. He got licensed to sell insurance. His old job wants him back, so we wouldn't have to move, but we have property in Chicago, and he wants to live somewhere new. There are no mortgage payments there. I…

Hi ladies, I am back. It's late. I left my home to run some light errands. I took Rose with me because she had been chomping at the bit to go "bye-bye." So, we went to the post office because Stitch Fix didn't believe I needed a smaller size and sent me clothes that were cute but too big and expensive. I kept the red top…

Hello! Well, DH drove back to Chicago and made it by 10:30 pm. The patient that I sent to PICU came back to our unit, and Vanessa said that she checked on her at 5 am, and by 6 am, her bed was saturated with blood, so she called a rapid, and now she is intubated on a vent in PICU. Meanwhile, I had a baby that had to get a…

Good morning, friends,  I work only 2 days and will be off until Next Thursday. DH is leaving this Saturday. I waited till he went to bed before I did the dishes and loaded them in the dishwasher. I had a wonderful, quiet day upstairs while he was downstairs studying for his insurance license and watching his beloved…

Hello, extraordinary ladies; I had 2 days of doctor visits. Both of my doctors moved to a new location. I used ways to figure it out. Today, I forgot to bring the note card I had written to remind me of which office to visit. I was on the wrong floor, but they gave me directions. My Allergist was so pleased with how…

Hello Ladies, Thank you, Barbie, for bringing us into June. My, does time fly? I made it through a grueling stretch of work days. It took them my last night to give me a better assignment. Thank goodness—one case where a 7-year-old girl, a complex care patient, presented with sniffles and constipation. Well, on the x-ray,…

Hi I thought this was interesting. XO Mo in MS

Hello everyone; I was able to get out and about today. My head feels better. The pain is dull, yet it is better. Kylia suggested salt water. I remembered that I had a packet of Headache Ease Replenish and mixed it in water. I drank 12 ounces, and I went to bed and slept for 4 hours. I'm finishing up the laundry, and the…

Hi Ladies; I had to spend the day in bed due to my headaches. This time, they were in the back of my head on the right side. I did my sinus treatment, took meds, Shower with a headache steamer, drank tea, and took an ice pack. Now, at 1:24 a.m., the headache is gone. DH is coming to visit to help DD get a car. State Farm…
