Soggy, SPRING-y Saturday WLS Express

Can't let a little..well..ALOT..of rain stop us from our appointed rounds....

All Aboard !!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning! Been up for 2 hrs, and still can't seem to get everything done before I need to get out the door...sooooooo frustrating...imagine if I wasn't organized!!!

I have a tough hospice case this weekend-am doing days 8am-8pm...30 y/o female with Brain Cancer. I got cancelled from my night shift with an 84 y/o last night cuz the hospice company requested me "special" due this being a "hard case". Reportedly the pt's mother has thrown out out every nurse so far, only wants white females, etc, etc, etc. It was decided "If she throws Gina out, we are cancelling her from our service"...Gee, no pressure THERE...thanks, guys...I will just BE MYSELF and try to put myself in the mom's place, while still putting the patient FIRST..that's the MAIN thing..Mostly I just open my mouth and let God give me the right words. I've never been thrown out, but there's always a first time for everything, and I wanted to attend the Benefit for Eric anyway!!!!

I hope the benefit goes really, really well!!!

Continued prayers for our QUE, and for all in need, and for my pt and her mom today....and for ME, that God will give me the skills, words and patience I may need.

Hope everyone has a wonderful FIRST DAY of SPRING (someone pls remind God what the calendar says!!!)

Gina AKA Nurse Diva

Ah, man!  That is a tough one.  You've got the right idea. Be yourself. You gotta know that mama is hurting. Prayers to all.

Morning Gina...
Great to see you as our Engineer on the Train this morning.  Sounds like you are going to have your hands full with your patient's Mom today.  If anyone can do it, it's you! All you can do, is what you do best!

Wish I were going to be in the DFW area to attend the Hope for Eric Benefit today. Since that is impossible, I will be there in spirit!  I'm going to work on projects today, instead of getting out in and enjoying the beautiful spring day....AM I CRAZY??? Probably! LOL

Lots of hugs and prayers for all who need them, I know that there are many unspoken, but we all need a few extra ones at some point in our lives.

HUGS, Mari

Good morning.  It's overcast here right now Gina, but not raining yet.  Guess I better go weed eat around the mailboxes in a few minutes before I can't!

Hanging out at home again today.  I've got to clean house to get ready for my Scentsy party on Wed.  My co-worker is selling it and I promised her a party...hopefully I'll get some good freebies or highly discounted stuff.

I hope the Hope for Eric Benefit turns out well.

Prayers for Mama Que, Eric and Abercrombie that healing is going on.

Have a great day!

Not much happening in my neck of the woods.  I'm home from vacation and working on homework this weekend before getting back to the work groove on Monday. I'd like to get ahead.

Having trouble going to sleep at night. I know it's stress, but knowing it doesn't make it any less.  My usual cure is a workout, but I literally don't have time. I rarely have time to stop and go potty.  No way I can spend a whole hour at the gym...plus the drive and getting ready, showering after. Ugh that would be like 90 minutes. No way! Anyway....gotta come up with something. Maybe if I get ahead this weekend I can do some this week. 

Good morning all!!!  Gina I just don't know how you do it... you are a blessing for her to have!!  Well since today is the first day of spring and it looks like it will rain all day and I think I will start cleaning!!!  Doing all the bedding and laundry as well as shampooing carpets today....YUCK!!!  Then hopefully I can have a little R&R tomorrow before I go back to work.   We took the kids to Moody Gardens yesterday and then headed over to the seawall for dinner.  So it was nice yesterday high about 70 but it was NOT warm enough to get in the water and strut around in a bikini....OMG what idiots!!!!!  The beaches were full of people... and they were in the water!!!  CRAZY PEOPLE!!!!

Okay going to make a Walmart run before it gets too busy!!!  Have a wonderful day and prayers to all who need them today!!!

Good morning.  Bad night last night.  Off from the full time job, went to bed by midnight.  Was awake by 3.  Last time I looked at the clock was 5:28.  Alarm went off at 6:40 for part time job. 

Brad is picking me up at 11:30 or so to go to the Stars game.  Then I will go home and nap before working OT on the full time job.

Later.

Prayers for you and your PT, Gina. The front ha**** here, it's rainy and cool again, cold actually. I turned the bathroom heaters back on and think I'll go find my sweats!  Beast got home early from his out of town job and is napping soI plan to finish my packing for next week.
