Are the worst! They hurt so much.

To want to take a nap at 8 a.m.? I've been up since 5:20. Unfortunately, I have to be at the tire shop 5 minutes away for an oil change and tire rotation at 9, and then an hour away for a hair cut. Guess I'll be flopping down after I get back.

I should clarify, the 5 pregnant ones are not the residents! They are CNA's and dietary workers.

It's been a year or a little over since I posted. A lot has happened. One year ago almost exactly I gave my notice at the nursing home to take a certified coder position at a hospital for their ambulatory care group.

It's been a cold day thanks to Mr. Snow Miser. It hasn't been especially snowy, but the wind that's accompanied the few flakes we've got have made it down right cold. (The temps been between 32 - 34 all day.) I didn't wear a coat to my adoption event and when I ran in and out of stores afterwards so I guess the cold seeped into my bones. I ( Read more... )
