Guess I'm more tired in the evening than I realize--forgetting to blog....

Monday was a busy work day. Hardly sat, finishing documentation after the next shift took over. Two of us were there an hour past shift end.

Today was much better. Started out steady busy, had an actual lunch break (woo hoo!!), and in the afternoon we adjusted staffing.

It was my turn to "float", so I went and stayed with a patient for the rest of the afternoon. When I was relieved and went back to my own unit at the end of the shift, we had also sent a couple of nurses home. Such a change in census.

Looking forward to not having to get up tomorrow morning and being able to rest my foot. It's been swollen today--I had to loosen the laces in that shoe this morning when I put it on. Surprised me....

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Had a great day today in Montrose!

Lois was having a good day--Diane thinks it may have been the best day since she's been there this time.  Finally!

Good company and good food.

Tomorrow is a work day.

What a day!

An uneventful drive to Flint (and back) for a funeral.

A wonderful man, who I remember as a happy, quick-witted, magical flutist.

While it was good to see everyone, the undercurrent of mortality filtered my view, and the introspections lended to a feeling of appreciation for life itself.

Tomorrow I'll celebrate the promise of everlasting life with Aunt Lois, Aunt Donna, and a few others.

Rest in Peace, Fred.

Hugs.

What a great day today!!!

Sunshine and mid 60's!!

Inside chores the first part of the day.  Wasn't needed at the J.O.B. (yippee!) so I went outdoors in the lovely weather.

Caught up on some reading while out in the sun, went out for errands, came back and raked in the back yard. Picked up sticks and branches. Found a couple of hyacinths well up with their blue buds braving into Spring.

Back inside, had a bite to eat, and a quiet evening.

Tomorrow is a work day.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.
