Welcome new kittens!

sweet Poppy

Sibling love.

 

 

Oh no, brother doesn't have a name. He's a bit naughty! 

 

we love each other! 

Oh good, they like to nap in bed as much as I do! 

 

Hey, who stole my pillows? Ok, since you're so cute, I'll find somewhere else to sleep!

• Had my eyes checked this morning; been five years. Have early signs of glaucoma and need reading glasses. She suggested I buy a few pair of the drugstore kind and when I get tired of losing them, get a good pair of progressives. I bought three pairs at London Drugs, all different styles. I'm impressed with how much clearer the computer screen and print looks. 
• Fighting a flu of some sort. Sheer exhaustion. Nausea that won't go away. Other sypmtoms I won't bore you with. Just feel like crap. Heading to bed after I blog this. 
• Getting anxious to hear of the CNA results. It's getting on to six weeks. Should walk up and check the mail I guess. It's been a week or so. 

• On my third nightshift and I'm feeling it. I've not felt right since I did the OT shift (yes, sorry about the whine) but now I've got the aches, nausea and abdominal pain. I can't wait to go to bed in the morning and stay there all day and all night. I usually can sleep all day/night on my turn around day, from sheer exhaustion and not having to worry about the alarm. Yep, I suffer from the "alarm syndrome"; can't sleep because I'm afraid I'm going to miss my alarm. So I wake up every 1-2 hours. Seriously. Today, I slept from 2-4. I'm walking around like a zombie.
• I need to get exercise. My two options really are an exercise bike that is recumbent or swimming. Everything else cardiowise is a no no for my ankle. The bike I'm looking at is nearly $800...so I need to pick up another OT shift if I am wanting to go that route.(ugh, see above) I used to have one but my brother borrowed it and gave it away! It was pretty good, had it in front of the tv and could ride for 30 minutes. Anything would help, right? Swimming really doesn't appeal to me, mainly because I don't want to get in to my swimsuit and be in front of other people and then there's the shaving issue.
• Anxious wreck wondering/worrying about adopting Poppy and Buttercup. I really adore them and want them badly....

• I worked an OT shift on my last set of shifts off and it sure kicked my butt. I can't catch up on my sleep since! bah!
• Hopefully next week I'll be able to make an announcement that I've successfully adopted two kittens, namely Poppy and Buttercup, from below's posts. Bring on the cuteness!
• Work is going ok. Helped a patient have a "great day" yesterday and that was pretty rewarding. Especially after finding out the patient died suddenly today. Life is short people.
• Disappointed with DWTS; wanted Zendaya to win. Close but no mirror ball trophy!
• Ankle throbs. Long talk with the doctor.

Hard sad day. Lots of tears. Can't wait for it to be over.

look who I got to visit!

• Friday was a lovely day. I met a girlfriend and we went and had manicures together. I can't think of the last time I had a mani done! This was a special lacquer kind that is supposed to last two weeks. My nails are very sparkley and shiney. Of course I have to go back to THEM to get it off! Afterwards we met up with another girlfriend at the park and watched the children play and chased around little AJ. So hot! Then my dear daughter took me out for a lovely dinner at a local pub. Delish.
• Saturday was an unusual day at work where we were actually short a nurse! Oy! We eventually got help from ICU and managed ok but it was a weird one. Sunday was Mother's day and I had to work but it was with "B" so that made it better. Even got a phone call from my mother.
• Last week Mamma came for three days; washed my floors so that they sparkle and planted my flowers. We did some shopping at a local nursery and Home Sense, Home Hardware and Home Depot. It was a good visit. She's of course not happy that I'm adopting but as her granddaughter told her "I'm a grown adult" LOL.
• Last night was a good night. I had a great assignment this set. I think the nurse gods were looking down on me as I haven't really "worked" in four months plus two weeks vacation! All my patients were 60% PPS! And minimal meds. lol.
• Today I have a special appointment in the afternoon that I am very excited about. I will update later on...

The Flowers, inside and out! Keep posted for further blooms!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the card I made for my Mamma for Mother's day, quite a few weeks ago but had to wait to post it until now. My mom was down for a few days and we got lots of running around and Mamma helped do chores around the house; even gave me a pedicure! We went to a nursery and got some plants and so now I have planters, flowers in my flower bed and some house plants. Today I took her out for lunch and we sat outside on the patio at Earls. It was a good visit and I so appreciate everything she does for me.

Cheers! Enjoying a Long Island Ice Tea at a pub in the next city with a couple of girlfriends from work.

The VERY delish chicken burger!

and then yummy cake for dessert at my girlfriend's home, which was so beautiful. Actually both friends showed me their beautiful homes. Lovely.

Missing them both so much. I am so lonely.

 

 

The past few weeks I've been watching six kittens on a Kitty Kam and have fallen in love with two of them. "Poppy" and "Buttercup". Today I went to the shelter to put in my application for adoption of those two adorable kittys! However, chances are slim, as Poppy has already had 40 calls made on her behalf, and they are adopting them out on different dates. I am so disappointed. I can only hope that they go through my application and phone me with some happy news.
I've had one weeks' worth of vacation and it's been nice and quiet, relaxing. Sleeping in, taking naps, making some cards, and one afternoon I spent with MsCupcake and AJ. The weather has been delightful but I can see now that it's going to start warming up FAST now.
Mamma is coming down next week and we'll go to the nursery to get some plants for my planters.
