this N that

We had an open house this past Sunday.
Zero lookers came to look.

While the realtor sat in my house for 2 hours, I took daughter to have her Senior class photos taken. I thought it would take 20 minutes tops.Right?
The photographer took us to 3 parks, the school yard, and to a city street. It took 4 hours. (good God!)
After pictures, daughter and I went out for a late lunch/early supper...................and then came home, snuggled together on the couch and watched a funny movie. It was a rare moment that I got to spend one on one time with her......I didn't want it to end.

I had Chinese for supper tonight.
My fortune in the fortune cookie said " Good news will come to you by mail." We'll see!

One of my very first patients didn't have a nose. She lost it to cancer.
I wasn't warned by any of the staff.
Nurses are a mean bunch.
I walked inot her room, and there she was, without a nose. My first instinct was to run. Her appearance frightened me at first look.
I've had a sore in my nose for a few months. It's right on the side of the tip of the septum.
I'm worried that I'll end up nose less like my patient.  :(

We had fun today at work.
We made up our own version of the Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas" using diseases and different drugs in the song..................guess you had to be there........it was a funny song. We crack ourselves up.....

I have errands to run tomorrow........I plan on getting them out of the way early in the day....................and then I'm coming home to start my Christmas wrapping........

Well girl it was mostly a very happy post except for the "N" part. I saw a man with no nose at a leper colony when I was in Viet Nam that I will never forget. Keep having fun and keep us updated along the way.

There is no way in hell I would put a place on the market at this time but that's just me.

.and then I'm coming home to start my Christmas wrapping.

On November 11th? Do you ever wonder what is wrong with America? Go look in a mirror for the answer.

If I lose my nose I'm getting a beak.

I looked in the mirror Billy. I saw a good mother, a good nurse....a hard worker. A caring person. A good friend.
So I did some of my Christmas shopping early. What's wrong with being organized and efficent? What's wrong with buying gifts for the people I love? What's wrong with buying gifts for a faimly who can't afford to do so?
So go drink a little more alcohol, piss in your yard....and in the morning when you are sober, (because if you're drunk you can't see clearly) YOU look in the mirror.


If I lose my nose I guess I'll have to break down and get contacts.
