Continue reading →: Time-warp wrap up
I feel like it’s going to be Thanksgiving and Christmas and 2017 in rapid succession. It really feels to me like since I drove the kids home from California this summer, we’ve been in a fast-forward time warp. Friday and Saturday were the culmination and fruition of 2+ months of…

Continue reading →: This is just to decompress
Today was a very full day. And seeing that it’s 9:49pm and I work tomorrow this is going to be a very succinct post. Mostly just a way to get out of my head all that’s bouncing around. Read at your own risk. I had the past four days off.…

(This pic has nothing to do with the post, but it just makes me laugh. Pic of me as an infant looking in horror at an armless doll sitting in front of me.) This is only my second week of working two shifts a week. I like it. I’ve had…

I’ve had something on my mind: Real Women. Look around you sometime at the grocery store, or gas station, at work or at the gym. Look at the real women around you. How many of them look like the women on cover of magazines, in commercials or at elite fitness…

I worked a 12 hour shift today. It was a good day. Less stressful than the day I wrote about here, but still busy. A good busy. Not a I-have-no-idea-what-happened-in-the-past-12-hours busy. We had a couple of admissions at the end of the shift which made for a very busy end…

I’m sitting in Barnes and Noble watching a huge thunderstorm dump a ton of rain outside. I sort of wish I had stayed home and sat on my patio now. If there’s any redeeming factor to the unbearably hot summers in the Phoenix valley it’s the summer monsoon storms. I’m…

I just threw that title in cause it’s a crazy presidential election season, but I should have titled this post: We’re giving up the goats. Yep, you read correctly. Our family’s 3 plus year adventure with dairy goats is coming to an end. If only had once sentence to explain…

I’m tired and lots on my mind so I’m just gonna spill out a list of facts from the top of my head: I drove approximately 5,000 miles in July. Most of that in the first and last week of the month. 1,220 of it in the last 48 hours.…
