One of my favorite blogs, Fat Doctor, has added me to her blog roll! I was so happy to see her new and updated blog. And now she left me a note AND added me to her list. Life is good people! Go check her out now!

Speaking of Life is good, I love those little stick figures. I like to collect the baseball and golf ones. I am also a fan of Happy Bunny stuff too.

Oh hey I got a new iPod today. Engraved with my name and all. And it is PINK! I love pink.

Last night I worked a night shift.  I sometime find these harrowing as you are the only doc on.  So you have to see all the patients, as opposed to sharing the workload with some one else.  I shouldn’t complain, last night wasn’t too bad as far as being busy.  But I had a code (cardiac arrest) come in and she didn’t make it.  That was my last patient of the day as she came in very early in the morning.  I always feel like there should have been something more I could have done differently to make a difference…sigh.

 But on a better note, I put a dislocated elbow back together.  This guy fell off a fence after massive quantities of alcohol and dislocated his left elbow.  I had never put an elbow back but like I said, when you are the doc on call…you see it all.  So I looked at the x-ray and decided how it needed to go back, gave him some pain meds and sedation, and WHAM …back you go elbow!  It was cool. 

 Now back for another night tonight.  I hope it goes well.  Then off for 3 days!!

 Oh, also I finally annouced at work that I would be leaving around Sept to move south.  At least I told my boss.  His words to me?   You suck.  (we are very short staffed there)

I have arthritis. RA. Rheumatoid. It HURTS. Especially when I am a bad girl and don’t take my medicines like I am supposed to. I just get lazy and would rather just go to bed then have to get up and take some pills. But today I woke up with some of the worst pain I have had in years. I always have pain in my hands, but today I had neck pain and back pain. I have never had back pain! What’s up with that? So today I have doubled up on my meds, hoping for some relief, though after 12 hours…NONE. This sucks.

If you are a guy and don’t want to read about my personal hygiene, then skip this post…

I got my period today!!  Yet another month when my husband’s “boys” sat on their lounge chairs with the remote and watched their little spermy TV, rather than go out on a nice hot date with my girly eggs.  :( 

Very nice weekend.  I didn’t get out of work until 2am Friday night/Saturday morn.  Then we left and headed 2 hours away to my sister’s.  Got to the hotel at 4am! Ugh.  Then went and had a nice day of beauty!  Well, kinda nice.  Had my hair colored and trimmed.  It was just a touch-up to my roots, though in retrospect I should have told him to do my whole head as I think the color looks uneven now.  Plus he missed spots as I am finding GRAY HAIR!  Then the trim I am not really happy with.  I wanted a 1920’s style short “bob”.  I guess I kinda got it.  Maybe I just have to get used to it. 

 Then I got a manicure.  I wanted acrylic nails.  They just painted my nails as opposed to putting on the fake stuff.  I should have been more explicit.  So another strike against me.  Then I got my first pedicare.  OUCH!  That hurt!  I guess my callouses were hideous as she pumiced (is that a word) the hell out of them.  So much so that I have an open sore on my right heel now.  Though I will say that my toe nails look fabulous!  And my feet were much softer when I was done. 

Oh and I also got my eyebrows waxed.  It didn’t hurt at all and I was most worried about that (as I was also an eyebrow waxing virgin as well as the pedicare virgin). 

 Then today went golfing!  I made par on one hole!  This was only my second time an a real golf course.  I have played at a couple of par 3’s before.  Most of the rest of the day I felt my shots were pretty crappy, but I was so happy on Hole 7, Par 3!

Now back to work the next 2 days….sigh….

Today I found out one of my favorite bloggers is shutting down her site. Seems that people at her workplace don’t have enough to do, so they told her boss about her blog. Now mind you she wasn’t saying anything negative about her job or co-workers. On the contrary, she discussed how much she enjoyed what she did and how helpful people were when she had a major illness. Her boss was a peach and said he didn’t care what she blogged about as she did great work when she was AT work. Plus I have heard about some other bloggers recently leaving, as well as another one of my favorites Where’s my mojo? that left a few months ago. Heck even I left for several months. I just really missed it though. But now do I wanna stay when I have fewer and fewer friends left?

Today is my last day off for a couple of days. I work tomorrow and Friday, but off for the weekend! Yay! Me and hubby are gonna go golfing. He is teaching me to golf. I was always the girl picked last for sports in school, so I grew thinking I had no athletic ability. But I am having so much fun golfing! Or should I say trying to golf. I still swing and miss the ball completely. But I am having a blast. And hubby makes if fun for me too, always encouraging.

But today is a wet rainy day. I am staying inside and cleaning up the desk and paying bills and such. And maybe later a nap!

Today was a busy day at work. Nothing really major, just everybody coming in to be seen. But now I am off for 3 days! COOL.

This is my first post and my first use of WordPress. We shall see how this turns it, or if I wimp out and go back to blogger.
