Friday - And I'm Sick and Tired

"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired." ~~Fannie Lou Hamer

Sometimes don't you just wish you weren't sick?  I mean I am around sick people for twelve hours at a time two-three days a week.  I hardly ever get sick.  But when I do...man.

I have been feeling really bad the past week and a half.  Have been having terrible migraines.  I had one so bad last night at work I was shaking and thought I was going to throw up and have to go home.  I just sucked it up though, stuck it out, and made it through.

 

I have been telling David I thought I had a sinus infection and he said it's stress.  I said give me some antibiotics because the pain and pressure is behind my eyes, my forehead, and my nose.  He said it's stress, but here is some Zithromax.  Don't take them unless you are still feeling bad tomorrow.  Well hell's bells I thought I wasn't going to make it to today.  I came home and took those suckers first thing this morning and would you believe it I am already starting to feel better?  The headache is still there, but it is getting a little better.  I mean I haven't been sleeping hardly at all the past 10 days, and I haven't slept at all since I got off work this morning, but at least I can wear my glasses without feeling like they are killing my nose.  Jeez, I just know you wanted to hear about all my problems, huh?

 

Looky at what I just captured off my back porch:

The date on my camera is wrong.  I just took that about 6:00pm.

 

Hey...did any of you stay up or get up to see the Lunar Eclipse the other night.  I did (not that I've been sleeping much, ha ha)!  Boy it was amazing.  I've never seen anything like it, ever!  I could see the whole thing.  I tried to capture a few pictures with my poor camera, but I mainly got red blurs and bright blobs.

 

The little red dots are what I could capture of the red moon during the full eclipse (again the date is wrong, it was 8/28after 3:00am):

 

 

This is when the eclipse of just about over and you can see the Earth's shadow on the edge of the moon.

 

 

 

And this is what Nasa posted:

Ummmm, like no fair, they had a better camera!

 

Okay, so I'm in a little bit better mood now.  And just maybe I'lldo more than one entry in two weeks!  But before I pop off, let me leave you with the "Quote of the Day" provided to me by my fav Uncle Fred:

 

"Speaking at a forum organized by Lance Armstrong on cancer research, Hillary Clinton told Chris Matthews if she is elected president, she will declare war on cancer, and then she will support the war on cancer for two years, and then she will be against it for a year, and then she will back out of it all together" -- Jay Leno, host of NBC's "Tonight Show."

 

On that note, I'll say "Goodnight Gracie" and hope you have all been well...
Ciao!  De ;)

Monday - It Isn't the End Yet

"Everything works out right in the end. If things are not working right, it isn't the end yet. Don't let it bother you, relax and keep on going." ~~Michael C. Muhammad

I've been in my hermit anxious mode again over the last few days.  And on top of that, I can't bury my head in the sand today or tomorrow because I've got to go to work, ugh.  Actually, that may help.  Being a Monday, and the fact that I have a new orientee (who doesn't have any critical care experience that I can tell despite her claim) may be just the ticket I need to help me get over my little anxiety attack.

On that note, I thought I would do this little quiz that I found over at Julie's:

You Are a Red Crayon

Your world is colored with bright, vivid, wild colors. You have a deep, complex personality - and you are always expressing something about yourself. Bold and dominant, you are a natural leader. You have an energy that is intense... and sometimes overwhelming. Your reaction to everything tends to be strong. You are the master of love-hate relationships. Your color wheel opposite is green. Green people are way too mellow to understand what drives your energy.

What Color Crayon Are You?

 

Kinda funny that it says my opposite is green, because I think Julie understands me as we are sister nurses, lol.

On that note...Ciao!  De ;)

Thankful Thursday & Froth and Bubble

Life is mostly froth and bubble, but two things stand like stone, kindness in another's trouble and courage in your own. ~~Princess Diana

 

 

There has been several discussions in the past couple of days over at Donna & Dawn's concerning friendships, and how good ones are hard to come by.  Words said or unsaid, feelings hurt, hearts and feelings bruised.  A while back I posted a quote by James Allen that states "Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him."  I definitely feel that this statement is true.

 

Both Donna and Dawn discussed how they have been hurt by friends/family, and how they thought that their friendship was unconditional.  I've had the same experience, as I can assume that most people have.  We have a friendship that we thought was exceptional until a crisis arose and then that particular friend basically disappeared.  My story is this:

 

I met Anne the summer between 5th and 6th grade when she moved across the street from me.  Daddy told me "go meet the new neighbors, they have a girl about your age" when I complained one summer day that I was bored (something I'm sure your kids have never expressed to you, lol).  When I met Anne I wasn't immediately attracted to her as a friend and thought she was just a little weird.  But boredom won over and I found myself spending alot of time with Anne that summer and a strong bonding friendship immerged, despite the 2year age difference. 

 

Over the years we faced joys and trials together, bonding us even closer.  I stood by Anne and fiercely defended her when she became pregnant at 15 ("there go I but by the grace of God), when her husband cheated on her, when she cheated on him, when they separated numerous times, through each subsequent child's birth, through her husband's drug and alcohol addictions, through an abortion, etc.  And in return I thought Anne stood by me as well, always lending an ear to my woes.  But, it was when I needed Anne the most that she deserted me.

 

I had decided to leave my ex-husband and get a divorce after 13 years of being together (9 1/2 married).  I thought Anne understood, after all she had been separated from her husband at least three times and had contemplated divorce herself more than once.  I was quite hurt when she quit calling, writing letters (before emails guys), and generally avoiding the subject of my pending divorce.  I just kept telling myself that she was busy since she had just been promoted at her job.  Nothing, and I mean nothing, could have prepared me for a conversation we had when I was in town visiting about 3 months after I officially separated from my ex.

 

Anne and I were sitting in her living room watching TV and I said "You know you've hurt my feelings."  Anne just looked at me and said "I know.  Come with me."  She got up, held my hand and led me to her bedroom.  Anne then proceeded to pull her Bible out of her bedside table, open it to a particular verse, and hand it to me.  She said, "Read this and then come talk to me," and then left the room.  I was a just more than a little confused but complied with her request by reading the marked verses.  I can't remember exactly the passages, but the verses basically stated that if a certain person was to choose to be around others who participated in sinful activities then they were sealing their fate to eternal damnation as well, and that their immortal souls were in danger.  God stated that as Christians we were to remove ourselves from that situation and those persons.

 

Okay.  I sit there for a while thinking "WTF?"  So I get up and go back to the living room and sit down not saying anything for a while.  Then I go, "So who is going to Hell, you or me?"  Anne then looked at me and said, "I am if I continue to be friends with you.  God doesn't condone divorce and I can't sit by you and be your friend if you and Tom get a divorce.  I can't support your decision.  I want to be your friend, but I can't if you don't try and work it out with Tom.  Think of Hannah and what you would be doing to her.  Think of your immortal soul."

 

Another "WTF?"  I think I basically sat there in shock for a while until I said, "I thought you were my friend.  I can't believe you are even saying this to me.  We have been friends for 20years, Anne.  I've stood by you when no one else would, and I mean no one.  How can you dare to sit there and pass judgment on me?  I know that God would not want you to abandon me if my soul was in danger, He would want you to comfort and guide me.  That's not how it works.  I'm not some deviant or mass murder.  I am a woman who has been unhappy in her marriage for years and someone who gave it a good long try.  If that is all you have to say, then you are not and perhaps never have been the friend I thought you were.  Thank you for opening my eyes."  As I stood up to leave, Anne jumped up and hugged me and said, "I'll miss you."

 

That was 11 years ago.  I still think about it, talk about it, cry about it.  I was, and am hurt to the very core of my being.  No person, male or female, friend or family, has ever hurt me as bad or to the degree that Anne hurt me all those years ago.  I still can't let it go.  David has always said, "You were always a much better friend to Anne than she ever was to you."  I can see that now, but it doesn't lessen the pain.

 

So moving on now, let's go to Thankful Thursdays, and here are my five...

 

1.  For friendships true and strong I thank you Melissa, Brenda, Julia, Elizabeth and Tara.

 

2.  For my family, I don't know what I would do without you.

 

3.  For my husband, David.  Through thick and thin always there for me and my biggest supporter.

 

4.  For my children, Hannah and Caleb.  You have truly stretched my heart with love until it is bursting at the seams.

 

5.  For new "virtual" friendships in J-Land, I am very grateful and blessed.

 

I'll leave you with that and say...

 

Ciao!  De ;)

Tuesday - Make a Difference & The Tuesday Twelve

"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do." ~~Helen Keller

I don't think I told you guys about receiving notice that a sexual offender (luring a minor for sexual molestation) has moved into my neighborhood.  While it is discomforting to know that someone of this caliber lives near my family, it is even more disturbing that my neighborhood, and his house in particular, literally borders Caleb's elementary School.  Not only that, but there are two private gate that exclusively leads from our neighborhood directly into the school grounds.  I have contacted the DPS, and have been advised that no law currently exists in the state of Arizona that requires sex offenders to live certain distances away from schools, child care, playgrounds, etc.  It horrifies me to learn that the government of this state has such little regard for the safety and welfare of our children.

Well, I haven't seen this man in the 3-4 weeks since I received the notice, but this morning after dropping Caleb off at school I saw him.  My stomach did a bunch of flip flops.  He was walking along through the neighborhood and just smiled when I looked at him.  His appearance is slightly changed from the police photo and he now supports a mustache, but it was definitely him.  Isn't that funny that I get home in the mornings after work at approximately the same time I saw him this morning and have never seen him out and about, but now it's the start of school and we've got kids who walk to school or to the bus stop in our neighborhood.  As a matter of fact, I saw a young girl this morning walking all by herself.  I don't think me seeing him this morning on the second day of school was a coincidence, do you?  I think I'm going to vomit now.  I did write a letter to the Attorney General, but I need to write one to the Governor as well.  Gotta get this changed!

Okay, now for some lighter fare and entertainment from Dawn...

I say _______ and you say _______.

Juicy - Fruit, the gum.  Never ever liked it because it is soooo sweet.

Temptation - Fighting back not to kill off the sexual predator who moved into my neighborhood.

Laboratory - Rats.  Thank goodness for them because medical experiments lead to new ground breaking discoveries that improve our quality of life.

Maid - I will go with Dawn and say "Yes, please".

Olympics - Games, it's almost time for the Summer 2008 in Beijing.

 

Pearl - Harbor.  The official beginning of our involvement in WWII. 

Fire - Men.  The ones who bring me work every night.  And nope, none of them look like this, lol.

 Bond - James!  Mmmmmmm...brings to mind Sean Connery and the new one Daniel Craig.

Kick - your butt if you mess with my kids.

Gear - Head.  Car enthusiatics.

Cub - Knut, the polar bear.

Magnetic - poles.

Well, on that note, I had better get ready for work. 

Ciao!  De;)

Monday - First Day of School

Caleb popped right up with a smile on his face this morning and said "It's going to be a great day!"  LOL.  It lasts how long?

Here are a couple of pictures I managed to snap with my cell phone this morning.  Darn kids playing with my camera and I got there and the battery was dead.  Should've known and checked first, ugh.  But anyways, you get the idea.

Big difference from last year where he was sooooo overwhelmed.  We went in the back and avoided the really, really, really loud music.  Plus Caleb saw some friends and was like "hey, hey, hey!" and off they ran.

Caleb said he had a "great" day, but he couldn't "remember" anything to tell me.  He did say he liked Ms Stockton, though.  That is good.  I found out this morning that the reason she looks so young is because she just graduated in May!  Wow, first teaching job.  She was student teaching when I saw her last year.  Well, we'll see how the second day goes.

Oh I was over at Donna's and she said "try the Smilebox, you won't be sorry".  So I did and she is right, it's fun!

Sunday - The Moon Effects and Other Stuff

The moon, the moon, so silver and cold, Her fickle temper has oft been told, Now shade--now bright and sunny-- But of all the lunar things that change, The one that shows most fickle and strange, And takes the most eccentric range, Is the moon--so called--of honey! ~~ Thomas Hood.

Whoops!  I lost a whole day somewhere.  I went to work yesterday thinking it was Friday.  And now it's Sunday!  Has someone seen Saturday? LOL.

Work wasn't too bad last night, except our special was assaults.  I was thinking "it must be a full moon", but nope, it's a "new moon".  Sometimes I think that is worse.  I read this article a couple of weeks back written by an astrologist who said that because we have such a low percentage of water in our body compared to the earth, that the moon has no gravitation effect on us or our psyche.

Phil Plait, an astronomer, writes in his blog that "Nurses, cops, doctors — they all swear that things get crazy around a full Moon. However, study after study shows that is simply not the case… yet the swearing continues."  Phil goes on to state:  "Never underestimate the power of anecdote! People read about this idea, and it makes some sort of sense — we’re raised with stories of werewolves, and the power of the full Moon on romance — and they believe it. After all, nurses, police, doctors, they can’t all be wrong, can they? Of course they can. Like anyone else, they remember the time the emergency room was a madhouse during a full Moon, and forget the dozens of times it wasn’t, or the far more common times it was crazy but there *wasn’t* a full Moon. That’s human nature.  The Moon does have a profound affect on Earth; it powers our tides, changes the Earth’s spin, and provides light at night (many animals have cycles based on the Moon), but there are no physical effects on humans themselves. The tides from the Moon are far, *far* too weak to affect us physically, and the gravity from it is incredibly weak as well. Also, the gravity of the Moon does not depend on its phase at all; the orbit of the Moon is elliptical, so sometimes it’s closer, and its gravity stronger, than other times. But that’s different from its phase, which only depends on the geometry of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.  The tides we feel on Earth are greatest at full and new Moon, because the Moon and Sun align in the sky, and their tidal force combines. But again, that’s far too weak to affect humans directly… and if it did, we’d expect to see the same craziness at new Moon as we do when it’s full. We don’t."

So in reality there is no "full moon effect".  Bull I say.  That man never worked a full moon Saturday night.  And I don't know if anyone has studied a new moon effect, I but I see it often as well.  (Go to this site for more interesting moon facts)

There was really only one person who I wanted to stab in the eye last night, and he really would have deserved it.  All I can say he was lucky that there were 4 police officers with him.  Apparently this man was arrested for a domestic disturbance call, which turned into a assault charge.  And, according to police, he has a history of beating his wife, which was what was going on when he was arrested.  But when I asked him why he wanted to be seen, he said "I told these policemen that I have carpel tunnel in both my wrists and that they couldn't put the handcuffs on me and they did anyway.  Now I have severe pain in both my wrists and my hands are numb.  I want the police to pay for my hospital visit."  "Sir, your medical bills are your responsibility.  Now do you want to be seen?"  "I am not going to check in until you get the police to pay for my hospital bill."  :Heavy sigh:  "Sir, I have absolutely no control over who gets billed, I'm the nurse.  Now do you want to check in or not?"  "I want my lawyer."  "Sir, you don't get a lawyer at the hospital, you get a doctor.  If you want a doctor you need to check in.  If you want a lawyer, these fine police officers will take you on your way to jail where you can be processed and speak with a lawyer.  Now do you want to check in or not?"  "Are you going to pay for my hospital bill?"  "OMG! Sir it is actually illegal for me or anyone else to discuss how you are going to pay your ER bill before you are seen by a doctor.  And I don't have time to sit here and argue this point with you.  I have sick people here who need to be taken care of.  Answer my question, do you want to be checked in or not?  Yes or no?"  "Not if I have to pay for this bill."  "Fine, sir.  I will bring you a form to sign that says that you do not want to be seen and then you can go on to jail."  So I go get a LWBS (leave without being seen) form and then the jerk decides he is going to check in and begins answering my questions.  Okay so he is soooo agitated and sweating like a pig (like someone who just did meth) and we can't get his blood pressure.  But the PA doesn't want to treat him unless he has a blood pressure.  So about 30 minutes later I go back in to get his blood pressure and he goes "No, you're not touching me.  I don't want to be seen anymore.  I'm not having anymore pain.  I justwant to leave."  Fine, sir.  I'll go get you a form to sign."  Now the idiot is leaving AMA (against medical advise) because he has been examined by the PA and no insurance company, government or otherwise, ever pays for AMAs.  So regardless of whether or not he qualifies for government assistance for his hospital bill, he just voided that option.  So when I bring the form back into this guy to sign he goes "where do I write 'I don't like you' on here?"  I said "Anywhere you want, just sign it and get out of here because the feeling is mutual."  Oh jeez, the drama of it all!

The up side was were were fully staffed last night.  Actually, we were overstaffed so the charge nurse went home as he didn't have any patients and I was in charge.  When he left, S said "De go ahead and put down that you were charge for 12 hours tonight."  I said "Why?" because he didn't leave until 10pm.  He said "Well you have actually been charging since you got here."  I laughed because I had been making all the decisions mainly because S wasn't in the ER hardly at all during the 3 hours of our shift he was there.  I said "Well I knew that, I just didn't know if you did!"  That was too funny.

Okay so I'm talking to David (who is out of town) on my way home this morning and all of a sudden there is all this noise on the other end of the line like he dropped the phone.  But it was more than that.  Like he fell or something.  And it took him a few minutes to pick the phone back up, too.  So when he did I was like "What on earth happened?"  David said, "Someone just shot at me through the hotel window and busted out the sliding glass door."  I'm like no way, if anything someone just threw a rock or something.  But David goes "A rock doesn't pierce the curtain."  Oh crap!  Who the heck wants to shoot at David?  He said, "Boy this brings back memories!"  I said call the police and get your room changed.  You know what he does?  He calls the police alright, but refuses to change rooms because he said "If they want to kill me, they will find out what room I'm in anyways.  I have too much stuff to pack up and move into another room.  The hotel is replacing the sliding door."  Oh, I give up on understanding that man!  And, it's not like he can change hotels or anything, because it's actually the only hotel up there on the reservation.  :Sigh:

Okay, well I guess I had better get off here and see what I can scrounge up for the boy's dinner.  Tomorrow morning...first day of school! 

Hope you all had a good weekend!

 Ciao!  De ;)

Friday - Step by Agonizing Step

Step by step. I can't think of any other way of accomplishing anything. ~~Michael Jordan

  Somebody get me some alcohol quick!  Remember I said I was going to TRY and exercise?  Well yesterday I did, and today I can hardly move.  Oh the pain of it all, lmao!  I did "Slim in 6" and I think it is should be "How to Die in 24 Minutes", ha ha.  Boy it sure was tougher than it looked, which is I guess the point if you are going to get slim in 6weeks.  But geez, somebody should warn us old people.  But I didn't want to be a quitter after the first day, so today I did "Ramping Cardio" with Gin Miller.  Easier and less murder.  I think I helped work out some soreness, but I can still hardly sit or stand w/o pain, that includes after taking Tylenol and drinking lots of water.  Getting old sucks!

Well, yesterday was "meet the Teacher", and that we did.  Caleb's 2nd Grade Teacher is Ms. Stockton.  She is very young.  I remember seeing her last year and thinking that too.  I think this might only be her 2nd or 3rd year teaching.  He seemed to like her.  I hope that hold true throughout the year.  There is another Caleb in the room, but that isn't the first time we've encountered that problem.  I think if she calls him Caleb Marc that should solve the confusion.  Caleb tells every one that is his name anyways, lol.   The picture is a little fuzzy as it is from my cell phone.  The boy needs a haircut and will have one by Monday.

Well, I ended up "helping" Caleb writing his story he took into his class.  Here it is:

 

Caleb was sitting around saying "I can't believe it's school already! I didn't do anything this summer!!" His Mother looked at him and said "What do you mean you didn't do anything?" Caleb said "Mom, we didn't go anywhere." Mom rolled her eyes. "Well maybe we didn't go outside of Phoenix, or even Arizona, but you did do stuff this summer," she said. "Like what?" said Caleb.
 

"Well," said his Mother, "first of all you got to do summer reading."

"Oh yeah, that was cool," said Caleb. "What else?"

"Then your cousin Rachel came to visit for almost the whole summer. And we saw movies," said Mom.

"Oh yeah. We saw Spiderman 3, Shreck, Transformers, Evan Almighty, Fantastic Four, and what else?" said Caleb.

"Let me think...hmmmm. Well you went swimming almost every day, rode your bike, played some new games, watched lots of movies with your sister, Hannah, and Rachel. You got to hang out with your Dad at Chuck E Cheese's, help him build and played with the guinea pig, Daphne," said Mom. "You also got to play with your friend Sam."

"Oh yeah," said Caleb. "I guess I did have fun this summer."

"Oh yeah," said Mom, laughing.

Okay, well after exercising and cooking dinner, I guess I had better clean up a bit and get the boy ready for bed.  School starts first thing Monday morning.  I don't know who is dreading getting up early, me or Caleb.  Hmmmm...most probably me!

I work tomorrow so have a great weekend!

Ciao!  De ;)

Thursday Morning - Can You Hear the Words That Are Coming Out of My Mouth?

Make sure that your actions and behaviors live up to and reflect the words and ideas, promises and commitments that come out of your mouth. ~~Steve Farber

 

You know how I was upset at the medical director the other night and said I was going to post his "apology" note on my locker?  Well I must have thrown it away because I looked and looked everywhere and couldn't find it when I went into work Monday night.  I know it would have been a petty thing to do, but I was pretty angry.  In the end, I went up and told Mr Director "thank you for the note" and he just let out this big sigh and said "you're welcome, and again thank you for being professional.  I was tired and irritable and there was no excuse for me yelling at you."  Hmmmm.  Wonder if he was truly sorry, he heard me talking about it, or someone told him how upset I was.  Either way, we worked together Monday and Tuesday w/o incident.  I just hope it stays that way because I don't think my transfer will be going through very fast, darn it.

Summer sure did go by fast, didn't it?!!  Tonight is "Meet the Teacher" and school starts on Monday for Mr Caleb at an agonizing 7:55am.  Caleb is excited for now.  I hope it lasts once the alarm clock goes off, ha ha.

Well we sure are missing Ms Hannah.  She will be back on Sept 22nd.  6 weeks and 2 days to go, but I'm not counting, lol.  And thanks the prayers.  Hannah got to OKC around 11:30am on Saturday, Rachel to Dallas around 2:00pm.  I felt so bad that we didn't sight see or anything while she was here.  Oh well...Rachel has been to the Grand Canyon and all that surround stuff twice already.  Hopefully we can have a small trip for fall break in Oct, but we have to make sure we can get off for Rachel's wedding in Dec, so maybe not.

  Just want to add another note of thanks for the prayers for my Dad.  He had his staples out last week and went back to work half-days on Thurs & Friday.  I think he is attempting full days this week.  At any rate the surgeon indicated that he got all the tumor and Daddy just needs periodic CTs or MRIs to make sure it doesn't come back (only 7% chance).

Both Monday and Tuesday nights weren't too bad at work.  I only got mildly irritated at a few patients and nobody got their eyes stabbed out, ha ha.  I guess it helped I was in a better mood, too.  You think, lol?

Well, not much to say this so I think I'll pop off and go watch some TV with my DH.  Oh pray for willpower please.  I'm going to TRY and start diet and exercising again (notice I said try).  I've done very well today with the food part, now I just need to get off my very fat butt and get moving.  And on that note...

Ciao!  De ;)
