BRRRRRR! It's Cold In Here.

The Boy Scout broke 3 ribs during yet another dog fight.

I am not a good nurse and he is not the best patient.

Pray for me





Just kidding.....I'm taking pretty good care of him.

    A dog fight as in with a big dog? Sounds awful. I've had broken ribs and they are NOT FUN! I know you'll be a great nurse.

    Did I miss your birthday? I hope it was happy (and no dog fights too.)

      Unfortunately, our two dogs are fighting. Bad! He was breaking them up and fell.

    Happy belated Birthday and I can so relate to the Empathy memes... I don't make a good Nurse either and yet here I am a full time Caregiver to The Man and the last Grandchild I'm raising! Perhaps they are meant to exercise my Empathy, I dunno? *Winks*

      It can be hard to make the best of it but I’m trying.

    You'll be fine and it will be easier as he recovers and gets better.

    Things like that make me very sad. Dogs can get mad just like humans, so people have to be careful.
    Wishing your Boy Scout a quick recovery! I'm sure you make a good, dedicated nurse.

    My mother fell and broke a rib. It can be quite painful if her experience is typical. Healing can be slow. You’ll do well I’m sure!

    I didn't understand the dog fight reference but then read your comments. Poor guy. Ribs hurt because you use them all day long, for everything. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

A Movie To Remember

Recently, I went to Denver to visit my daughter. It was a good visit. I brought my best self there and enjoyed her company thoroughly.  One night, after she went home, I was still antsy and decided to go see a movie. Jurassic World was ok but, good or bad (mostly not that great) I’ve seen them all because of falling in love with the first in the series.  The Cinemark theater was a little sketchy, somewhat run down but I got my popcorn and enjoyed.  The next day I was telling my girl about the movie. She was quiet and then said, “I probably should have told you mom, that is the theater is where the Batman shooting took place 12 years ago. I sat there stunned, without words. After a while, I realized not only did I go to the same theater complex but in the exact theater where the killing spree took place.  Questions entered my mind. How in the world did Century Theaters decide to keep that horrible place open? How is it that they think it’s ok to pretend like it did no...

Return The Kindness

My #3 child is still working abroad. She and her partner live in England somewhere near Manchester. The company she works for is an Oregon based company that provides medical and dental insurance for the citizens of this and 3 other states. When she started at this company about 6 years ago she worked with an older gent who left within the first year of her employment. They did not have a ton of interaction but they were on friendly terms. The other day, quite out of the blue, my daughter received an email from this person. They reached out, wishing her well, and letting her know how very sorry he is for how the LGBTQIA+ community is being treated by the current government. Letting her know he is on her side.  I think we are going to need to do a lot of that from this point on. For the brown skinned people in our communities, who must be living in fear, for the LGBTQIA+ community, who has no idea what is in store for them in regards to passports, bathrooms, their names, their posit...

A Journey To Home

Image
My tender hearted girl decided she wanted to foster an old lady. Selkie is 14, is nearly deaf and nearly blind, has a hard time walking and uses her bark to get her needs met.  She got her home, took her for a bath and then basically loved this old girl for three weeks until the property manager decided that it wasn’t a good match (barking too much AND because she is a pit bull).  My girl knew it was probably temporary but she gave that dog a comfortable loving home, away from the chaos of the shelter, for a short time.  Ideally, she would have walked her home but that’s not how it worked this time.  Last night she stood and ugly cried on a strangers shoulder after giving her back.  I love that girl and her sweet heart.  I wish Selkie a new final home full of love.
