I've been busy.
I crash at night, and then sleep like a baby.
Oldest son and I spent last Sunday together.
He works evenings/nights, six days a week, and he has
a social life........it's difficult finding the time
to spend time with him. When I get the chance I jump on it.
We had a nice time.........
I was scheduled to work Christmas.
Luckily one of the younger nurses wants the holiday pay and has
agreed to work for me.
So YAY!
I'm off Thanksgiving and New Years.
I may be wrong but I think this is my first Thanksgiving off in many years. I'm certain it's my first New Years day off in at least a decade.
I'm happy.
One of my patients asked me for a Vicodin yesterday. She asked me in front of another resident.. The other resident said, in a challenging, playful, competitive way "My nurse gives me two Vicodin." So I said to my resident in front of the other patient "When you come out of the dining room I have 2 more vicodin, a shot of Jack Daniels, and a sexy Italian man waiting for you in your room."

I went to the grocery store after work last night.
Must haves on my grocery list every week:
fresh baby spinach
2 jars of pickles (I think I'll start making my own so that I can save money, and use less salt.)
almond stuffed olives
a red onion
avocado
a can of black olives
cucumbers
3 cans of pineapples
a loaf of whole grain bread
tomatoes
low sodium V8 juice
everything else i buy just depends....
I bought my turkey last night. He was 44 cents a pound. I think he weighed 21 pounds. It's huge. I want to be able to send a bunch home with my sons. I bought stuff for an extra pumpkin pie so I could send a pie home with them too.
Daughter and "Page 83"Ms. Me: page 83 (1 of 3) have become the best of friends.
They go dancing, watch movies, talk on the phone,go fishing, and even work together. He was supposed to be daughters boyfriends dorm partner at EKU, but decided to stay here and attend NKU.........he's doing good in school.
Daughters boyfriend is doing well at school. He's homesick a little I think. He asked his mom if he could transfer to NKU. She's making him finish up his first year at EKU before she'll discuss a transfer with him. I think she's doing the right thing......
Daughter is doing well in school.
It excites her. She's enthusiastic when she talks about her classes. She spends a lot of her time at the library.
I just want her to stick with it.......you know?
Boyfriend is home from Colorado.
It did him good to see his sons, and his siblings.
His brother is in a rehab facility.
The left isde of his body is paralyzed from the stroke. He can speak though.......and his speech is clear..... his thought process is intact...........he's very lucky.
He called last night to say he moved his left leg........and he has regained gross movement to his left arm........so that's great!
Hopefully he'll be able to return to his home in a couple of months.
Boyfriends sister tucked a card with a note for me in boyfriends suitcase. It was sweet. Boyfriend is the youngest of 7 children. I think all of his brothers and sisters were 8 years and older by the time he was born. His older sister is protective of him still.
I think my sons will be like that with daughter all of their lives.

Boyfriend left today for Colorado. His brother had a stroke, boyfriend wanted to be with him. His brother should be okay after a couple months of rehab. I hope.
I was relieved that boyfriend left town, though sorry for the reason.
I need the time away from him.

Daughter and I went to a couple malls yesterday to do some Christmas shopping. We also went out to lunch. The conversation never lacks when we're together. She always has a story to tell or something to say. She''s fun. I enjoy being with her.
I remember when she was a baby, maybe six months old.... I took her to the doctor for her check-up. While examining her he looked at me and said "She's a little social butterfly!" I guess I remembered what he said because I was born such a shy person. I was hoping my children wouldn't be. I looked up to her doctor. I respected him......and by golly if he said she was a social butterfly, then it had to be! Luckily he didn't say she was a loner, a serial killer, or a wall flower. Right?
My work friend who went to Jerusalem and put my prayer in The Wailing Wall lost his temper at work last week and quit his job in the middle of his shift.
It's easy to understand his frustration. They will replace him with another nurse. Nothing else will change. All of those things that drove him nutty will be waiting for the new nurse to deal with......
I'll grocery shop today.
I love shopping. I don't like grocery shopping so much. It's more of a chore than anything. So I'll get that out of the way and then I'll make a Christmas wreath. I've always wanted one for my front door but was too cheap to spend the money on one. Have you seen the prices on them? They're expensive.
So I'll give it a try!

Fifteen years or so ago I bought a couple of lamps at a yard sale. I didn't need them at the time. They were pretty, and only five bucks for the pair. I knew I'd use them some day.
Now I need two lamps. I've been shopping for weeks for a lamp or two that I like. Good lamps can be expensive. I'm a tight wad.
Last week I remembered my yard sale lamps. So I got them out of the attic.
They're pretty.They have a retro 50ish-60ish look to them. But they're pretty just the same. They just need to be cleaned. I'm happy.
Now I'm on the hunt for lamp shades.

tuesday
I cleaned all day yesterday, and cleaned all day today. I still have lots of cleaning to do. The reason I hate cleaning my house is because I see all of the repairs/updates that are needed. Then I feel frustrated that I don't have the money or time to get to all the repairs/updates at once. It makes me want to throw in the towel and just walk away.
But then I get my spring/fall cleaning completed, and I walk through my house at night when all is quiet and everyone is sleeping........and I'm grateful for and proud of my little home.
The past few weeks I've been putting together a room in the basement for me to work on my paintings, and some old furniture that I plan on refinishing. The room is coming together......I had to put it on the back burner, again, so I can finish my fall cleaning..........it's whats motivating me to get finished with my cleaning.......so I can get back to that room, and do the things I enjoy.
Daughters tuition is due this week.
I have it.
For that I am grateful.
