5 days and some change before I get to see The Kid, the SIL, and The Grankid for our early Christmas! Really looking forward to our traditional dinner at a really good German restaurant in their area! I miss them all so much!

Morning! It’s chilly here today. I have a 2.5 mile walk to do today. But I’m going to wait until later this afternoon when it’s a tiny bit warmer.

Hope y’all are having a good Saturday morning.

I cannot believe that I missed the opportunity to make this for Thanksgiving dinner instead of what I did. Oh well! There’s always next year.

Building on this …

I went no contact with my dad less than a year before he died. After his first stroke he asked his nurse to contact me and asked me to come see him. Like an idiot, I went.

I thought he wanted to mend fences. I was wrong. When it was just us in the room he heaped on more more
Shit like this pisses me off! Respecting the decision of an estranged family member to not see someone just because that someone is dying is not a lack of compassion for the patient. We, as nurses, don’t know the history. And it’s not our job to rewrite that history.

Searching for songs to add to my Christmas playlist and saw this. I laughed so hard because I hate that fucking song and its theological inaccuracy. I’m not even Catholic anymore and it still irks me. 🤣😂

I just cleaned my stove top for the first time and I don’t know how long. Would it be weird to pay someone to clean my ovens? They’re not really bad, because I don’t use them very often, but it’s time and I just don’t feel like doing it.

Grief is weird. Gonna process some feelings, you can skip this if you want.

Thanksgiving was my favourite holiday. It’s the holiday mist wrapped up in my relationship with my mom. It was the one meal each year that Mom cooked. It was the only time we cooked together. Then when my daughter was born

4 hours of sleep! Why am I wide awake at 3:30?

My favourite grandcat was diagnosed with gastric cancer. He’s 17 and even if he was young this isn’t a cancer that responds well to treatment. So he’s on kitty hospice.

This is so sad. He’s just the sweetest cat and he’s my grandson’s best buddy. This one is going to be hard. 😢

Morning. Slept okay. Got another “you know you’re getting old” test scheduled for today. It’s a bone density scan. Yay! 🤣

But at least I’m not at work.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

Oh hell no! I guess the fear of god has worn off because today she’s back to micromanaging and being condescending.

When I get back from vacay the job hunt begins in earnest.

I’m awake. I’m preparing to go to work. I don’t want to go. I really like the actual job. But working with her … the act is exhausting.

Morning. I got 8 hours of sleep and had some really weird dreams. Tell me why I dreamed that I have Alexander Skarsgard a haircut?!?

Hope y’all have a good Monday.
