Oct. 16, 2009 - Weekly Wrap Up

From the Heart:

Lots more leaves have fallen this week. It has been very cold and wet. Feels much more like November. :sweeping leaves:

On the Homefront:

I'm learning to delegate more, which is a good thing. Being on my feet so much is exhausting, and I simply don't have the energy to be on my feet more than necesary when I am home. I am still trying to get all my chores/errands done on the days when I work so that when I have a day off, I can actually stay home and relax.

In the School Room:

DD did school a bit differently one day this week. She spent the night with my parents on Tuesday and took her schooling with her. I think Mom and dd enjoyed the chance to play Scrabble again.

On the work front:

I only have one day off this week (Friday), then it's back to work the weekend. (Unfortunately, I woke up at 5:20 this morning. So much for

in on my day off.) I cannot get over how fast things can pick up in the ER. I was on my feet nearly the entire shift on Wednesday. I was exhausted by the time I got home. I'm still getting to know some of my coworkers, and the more I get to know them, the more I enjoy the job.

Thursday, the ER was short-staffed. We got an ambulance very early on my shift. One of the nurses asked me if I could check the patient's vitals when she arrived. LOL! I am *NOT* a nurse.

I loved her sense of humor. Nothing like a good laugh to start out your day.

Later she told me they are going to teach me to multi-task, then I can learn to intubate a patient.

To our health:

I will be posting some very easy remedies on Tuesday that can help you alleviate your chance of getting the flu. The nice thing is they are also cheap, and can be done with items you already have in your home.

I am still struggling with asthma issues. Thursday morning, I wasn't even in the green zone AFTER using the inhaler. Needless to say, I was praying for a slow day in ER because not getting enough oxygen to your lungs and needing to work at a fast pace don't mix too well.

I hope you had a relaxing day even though you got up early. The ER sounds like quite the place. I'm glad I don't have to work there, and I'm glad you enjoy it.
Have a lovely weekend, bringing some joy to the lives of the people in ER.

You sound busy!
Take care of yourself, too. Asthma is serious business, as I'm sure you know. I lost a friend to it in college.

I'm glad you were able to see my pics. Have a good weekend, and I hope you can breathe better.

PS. I'm wondering if you've ever tried Advair. It seems to help a lot of asthmatics...

Sounds like an exciting job you have! How do you balance that with homeschooling? Just curious. Lord bless your week!
