it was just a week?
i am tired, but guess what, i will not whine about that.
i choose to focus on the positive and express my sincerest gratitude to all of you who wished me and my family well, when we moved. thank you guys. from the bottom of my heart.
anyway, i am on leave for two weeks, but last week, i had a few of those work stories or thoughts that are just itching to be blogged, so in between arranging things to clear up the garage, i will bore you with those stories.
in the coming days, i will tell you why i am scared to death about giving patients Ambien for the first time. literally scared to death, i will go to the extent of suggesting that we just let the patient stay awake the whole night just so i can’t give it. that scared.
also, i will tell you why one night, i swore on not helping one of my coworkers ever. never ever.
and when i have finally processed it in my head, i will tell you how it boggles me to no end that in my heart, i still deeply love my dad when my head reasonably screams that loving him is not a very good idea. sometimes, i hate it that my heart is so stubborn.
for the meantime, in the next couple of days, i will bloghop and see what is going on with your lives so i can recover from my week long blogging withdrawal.


Welcome back - good luck unpacking and enjoy your new home!

I’ll be waiting patiently for your Ambien story! Oh yes, and there’s nothing like angry stories about coworkers (we all have so many of those, don’t we?)

i can relate to all your nursing experiences,but the comment about your father really struck me. my father has been dead 15 yrs and i still try to find the good times of closeness or his good qualities to replace my knee-jerk negativity and frustration with my life long nonrelationship with him. even in his extended dying, we couldn’t relate in any meaningful way. with age ,i realize my best method of dealing with relationships that won’t or can’t deliver is to love from afar. see or talk with them as little as possible. you have done your best and God wants us available emotionally for His work. if we accept others as trying their best all we can do is pray for them. i hope this helps in some way. it’s a long road but He walks it with you. your experiences will equip you to help many others in the same boat.

Glad you’re back. I too can’t wait to hear the ambien story. I was once prescribed it but threw them out without ever being brave enough to take one.
