Waiting till this late in the evening to post isn’t a good idea. Every time I sit down to write in the evening the first words that come to mind are, “I’m exhausted!” I am. Pooped. Tired. Worn out. Some version of virus struck our house Sunday morning. It took…

(Florence Nightingale nurses) I’m consistently inconsistent at writing here. I ran across this article the other day and felt like someone wrote an article about me.

It’s too late for a thought out and well-edited blog post. But before I hit the hay I wanted to share some interesting highlights of the day. I was able to start orientation today with Abrazo Healthcare. The lady at HR called and apologized at 7:30 this morning and told…

Big sigh. Friday at 5 am we got in the car and began our travels back home to Arizona. Yesterday around 5 pm we pulled in to our Litchfield Park address. But, there was no settling in and relaxing to be done. We spent the remainder of Saturday unpacking, doing…

Not much time for blog posts on a road trip vacation like this. From the time we reach my sister’s in Redding till we leave Roseburg to head back for our long drive home to AZ, the days are packed full of visiting family. We’re in Roseburg now, got here…
