Shedding assistance

What you don’t think reptiles make facial expressions? Well let me help you with this one. It’s “Pissed Off”:

In my absence…

Today is my first day off since Thursday. I just worked three 12s in a row. I did have a lovely weekend at work complete with a little free time, and a little drama and a few scattered emergencies. I came downstairs to make my breakfast this morning and was greeted by this staggering image:
Now, [...]

Iko Iko

I was recently offered the opportunity at work to switch from rotating days and nights (7a and 7p shifts, both 12 hours) to rotating days and evenings (11a-11p) instead. I debated for a good while about it because A: I really like the people that work nights and B: Nights (in general) aren’t as busy [...]

62

It’s 62 out right now! Feels amazing considering we just had flurries less than a week ago. I spent 1.5 hours walking around the lake and enjoying the air. I think I need to spend more time outdoors. Just in general. Shame I’m coming to this conclusion in late October :-/

Time for Bed!

So my day started off with me leaving the house at 6am and getting on the highway at 620 as per usual. However last night around 3am some assholes were driving on the highway out of the city shooting at each other the two cars ran into this and that and the one shattered all [...]

You see these little guys eat an occasional cricket, but their main subsistence is some nectarish baby food. Like peach. Peach is a favorite. Well over the past few days I’ve noticed that we’ve become infested. [...]

Much Excitement!

First my computer has (supposedly) been repaired and is on it’s way home! I just checked the fedex website and after a brief stop in Memphis it’s now even in the correct city! Unfortunately I won’t be home to greet it tomorrow. I do however have Friday off to wait by the door!
Then last [...]

Nurses not Magicians

Our ER is a small ER 14 beds and here or there in the hallway when necessary. The hospital has been making some big changes over the past year or so moving from mostly OB to more than 50% medicine patients. This has understandably led to some growing pains. While other hospitals and areas of [...]

Gimpy Piglet

So our little Piglet is actually doing pretty well. We force fed her more calcium than we were probably supposed to for a few weeks. And while it took a couple weeks she slowly started to be able to move her back legs again, then was slowly able to grip things with her legs. …then [...]
