Good Night, my friends; Ginny, you are right; I must let DS make his own mistakes and decisions. I will keep savings for him if he needs money. I learned a lot from my mistakes, and maybe I should let both of my kids learn from theirs. Julia is still learning from hers. I ran out of gas in nursing school and had a big test…

Hello, my Tribe; I had a rough day. I didn't get anything done, and my tummy and head hurt all day. I went through two ice masks. When I was better, Rose was very rambunctious today. When I was better, we played tug-o-war. We tried to play ball, but the wasps were aggressive outside, so we played inside. I am on Linzess,…

Good Morning ladies: Tracey purchased a condo in Chicago, and there are more opportunities there than here. He doesn't want to live in Mississippi anymore. I missed seeing my show on Monday because I passed out in my chair. Ginny, the bedding business is my DH specialty. We have an adjustable bed, and I love it. When…

Hi ladies; I hope DH and DS find a job soon. DS was looking for an internship but was turned down for a nonpaying job. He applied to 60 places. He told me that next time, he would include me in his quest. I am in the Book of the Month subscription plan, and I wrote to them, and they would prefer to pay him. So, it would…

Hello, my friends; I hope all is wonderful with you all. I read the recent post while drinking my tea. I forgot the term Lisa used when your dialect changed from place to place. Many of my friends in Mississippi are not from Mississippi. My friend Bonnie is from Lincoln, Nebraska, and her ex-husband too. Yet, I hear a…

Hello ladies; I had a wonderful work week. This one baby had beautiful blue eyes and red hair. He had a nonaccidental trauma that had bruises on his face and was only 6 months old. Needless to say, he will not be going home with his biological parents. This little guy had to have two shunts placed due to the internal…

Hi Everyone; I thought about Barbie's words about being lonely. I agree with her, and I don't feel lonely either. I figured It was due to my not having any siblings. My dog and my books are enough. I hate staying on the phone too long. I reach out in my way. When I am off, I love quiet. I watch some TV, and I love Rose. I…

Hello Everyone; It took me two days to recuperate from working. I had to do stretches and saw my therapist on Monday. Last week, I lost 3.4 pounds. My therapist told me "Move and Groove" will be on Mondays. He doesn't want me to participate until I get my orthotic situation sorted. He did encourage swimming and biking. I…

This is the book everyone ❣️

Hello Ladies; You all make me feel like I am not alone in this. I feel bad because, at times, I am not ready to talk to DH. After all, it hurts. What happened to him happened to me. He is not one to let grass grow under his feet. He has some leads on jobs and has been interviewed by the first group. So we will see what…

Hello everyone; I slept in rather late. Rose woke me up barking when she heard them delivering my package. I did stay up late reading. Reading helps me normally take mental vacations from my current situation. Who needs drugs to cope when you have books? Says me, who is on an antidepressant. So, I need all that is legal…

Hello everyone; I feel as though I am grieving. DH will get another job, yet DH has already applied to many companies. I didn't sleep well last night. I slept after breakfast but only ate one slice of lunch meat. When I got up, I read some of Heather's books. So far, they are thought-provoking. The book provided me with an…

HI, I swear this is a bad week already. I called to check in on DH, who told me he had been fired. Last week, in his evaluation, he went from meeting expectations to partially meeting expectations. I was mad because his boss didn't tell DH that he wanted a verbal and written report. DH always submitted a written report.…

Hello, and Happy May Ladies; Barbie, thank you for bringing us into May. I wonder if I am a nurse who cares for complex patients. This family has fired many nurses except me. We laugh and talk honestly with each other. I like to keep my patients clean. Every time I offer to change her linen, she refuses. So the mom and I…

Hello, lovely ladies, Thank you so much for the compliment. It's funny, but looking at the pictures made me want to work harder to lose the remaining 55 pounds. I usually avoid photographs and go in the back so no one will see me. I was moved to the end of the group picture. I need to get out in the am and walk again. In…

I don't know how to post pictures with the spoil alert. Sorry, my friends. I had fun at the wedding, but the next day, I had a brutal headache. Today, I spent the entire day with DD. Julia has matured dramatically. I love her boyfriend; he keeps her grounded. He doesn't do drugs or drink, and he has gotten her to quit…

Hi ladies, I had fun at the wedding. I will upload pictures soon. I worked all night Friday and slept from 9 am to 11 am. I took a shower and then took Rose to Petsmart for the night. Then, I picked DH up at the airport. Then, I had to pack quickly. We drove out to Hattiesburg, which is 2 hours away. DH was into the…

Hi Ladies; Margaret, you are a wealth of information. You look radiant in your pictures. You are enjoying life. Ginny, I would have had you come in to assess the wound. I am a safe than sorry nurse. Thanks for explaining everything. I didn't know exactly what surgery you were having and what was going on. You are in my…

Good Afternoon; Boy was I wrong about the weather. I took a nap and woke up with a searing headache. I let Rose out to pee, and I did so downstairs. Then, thunderstruck, Rose was scratching frantically to get into the house (I'm glad she got to pee). I washed my hands quickly to let her in. Then it was raining buckets of…

Hello Ladies, I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. We ensured that all the kids on our unit received an Easter basket. One Kiddo said he wanted a stuffed bear and asked if the Easter bunny would know this. My friend Mary told him to go to sleep, and in the morning, he would find out. All we had were bunnies in the…

Good Morning, Everyone. I am starting my long stretch of five twelve-hour nights tonight. I learned that I love quiet time when I am off. I can listen to soft music, audiobooks, and even TV. The volume has to be non-intrusive. The TV is on HGTV most of the time unless there is a particular show I want to watch. I love…

Hello everyone; I hope all is well with everyone. Allie, Potty training was not easy with my kids. I listened to the pediatrician about Julia having a small bladder. DS was completely potty trained, and then he noticed Julia was wearing pull-ups at midnight. Even when she went on sleepovers. I had to go through her bag…

Hello Peeps, Welcome back Pamiede! I am so sorry about your terrible accident. How is your mobility in your upper body? At UMMC, they have integrative care. Rachel is excellent with PT and will take you to the pool to work with you. Dr Burgess is great with the mental stuff and can deal with everything. The integrative…

Hello, my Peeps and Chicks, Machka posted a list of three things that make you happy. 1. I got some rest on vacation. 2. I got to spend time with DH. 3. I got to swim again. 4. I got to read and knit. Allie, the antibiotics are making you go too many times. Sometimes, my patient's butts get raw from it. They may need to…

Hello Everyone; I didn't get on here yesterday due to travel fatigue. I told DH that I wanted to rest before getting Rose. So, we got her later, and she pulled that poor young man out and went right to me. Then DH gave her a belly rub, and she was whining like," I missed you guys so much!" Then we went home and talked…

Hello Everyone; I have washed the chlorine out of my hair and blow dried it. I packed one suitcase and did my laundry. Will get up at 4:00 am, to finish up and go to the airport. I think I will load the dishwasher before bed too. We had fun today. The weather was perfect. You all have a wonderful night. Ginny, I hope you…

Hi, I am back. I just wanted to thank Machka, and Tracey for the advice on my hip pain. I can feel the difference when I sit too long. At work I have to keep moving, and sitting more that 20 minutes does hurt. I will do some band work as well. Thanks so much for the advice. I do believe I have arthritis and having an…

Hello everyone; Lisa; My cat Cali brought in snakes, mice, bugs and moles. Then one day she retired and became an indoor cat completely. Michelle, on you-tube you can pull up all kinds of workouts. I am able to do yoga, TaeBO, and yes my Step Aerobics with Gin Miller. I wanted to do it here, but I can not get into the room…
