Update on the new employment
I finally completed the market bag.
It hasn’t been put to use yet, but…..
Sigma really seems to like it.
As per your request here is ceil. If you think I look slightly nauseous, I’ll let you in on a little secret…. I was! Fortunately for me, I did not follow through with that nasty inclination but had a fairly good first day. No one died. I didn’t lacerate anyone’s fingers during blood glucose checks. I promoted patient and hospital safety in the elevators. Finally, the most important of all indicators, I didn’t feel like a totally incompetent fool! Of course, Tuesday may bring a whole new atmosphere.
Speaking of atmosphere, we had our very first snow of the season here in the Metro East region. That is the first snow to actually stick. It snowed all day with a hiatus of only two hours midmorning. The dogs LOVED it. They pranced and danced and stuck their noses in it. J and I had had enough by evening time. J probably more so in that he had to drive home from the Greater St. Louis area; a typical 30 minute drive took over one hour and if you know J, which most of you do, he hates delays. Although, you really gotta love the snow! Hopefully, that is all we see for the rest of the holiday travel time.
More updates when/if they happen.

Your shopping bag - finished! Well done!
Ceil, well, it reminds me of the last shot I had. Isn’t that funny? That is the color of shots to me . . . sorry. I have fainted two times when getting shots, but not the last few times. Maybe I am maturing, well, I doubt that - I seem to be aging, but maturing? That’s a stretch.
It must be so scary being a new nurse, and even a seasoned nurse. Yikes. But what a thrill it must be. Each day you will become better and better, experience being the best teacher. Hopefully, you will find someone you can look to as a mentor. I love that relationship. There were a few teachers that I am honored to call mentor. I could always ask questions and they intuitively knew when I needed the short answer or the long answer. I was honored to help others along when possible and hope I did the “pay back” thing somewhat successfully. I hope you find that.
You are fabulous and you will be (are!) a sharp and capable nurse.
