unexpected things I saw on the ground today

1. A dead rat in the street in front of our neighbor's house. It apparently died of flies.

2. A used condom next to the visitor parking at the retirement community where my old person lives. It shares grounds with a private Christian high school. So, Christian kids or old people getting it on in the car?

blogging from the backyard

Here it is, week 7 of the quarter. That means I'll be finished with my first quarter of nursing school in a month. A month! And I've got so much to do between now and then in terms of test-taking and paper-writing and so on. The weather in Seattle has taken a turn for the gorgeous. So even though I need to write 1)a regular clinical log, 2) an example of focus charting, 3) a summary of this week's Older Adult project, 4) some scenarios for communication lab on Thursday, and 5) at least part of a nursing process paper tonight - I can do some of it on my laptop on the patio. I'm out here enjoying the breeze and a big iced coffee so I don't fall asleep due to all the peaceful vibes from the garden/birds/windchimes/bumblebees.

I sure wish someone would come weed my garden, though.

fountain

Grandin Road - Warwick Solar Resin Fountain

This is a nice fountain for not too many millions of dollars, and no wiring required. Pretty neat.

one-half of one-sixth

I'm starting Week 6 of my first quarter of nursing school. Our quarters are 10 weeks, so I am halfway through my first quarter. How did that happen so fast?!

While our instructors have warned us that this week coming up is the most stressful one of the quarter, I feel about as caught up and prepared as I have since starting the program. I've still got a lot to do this week, but I think I'm ready.

And at the end of the week I get to go see my mom for Mother's Day, while R* stays home with Diabetic Kitty. I am lucky.

Also in the category of "lucky," I need to log off the computer so I can go fix the mussels/green curry sauce/fresh baguette/artisan cheese/fresh asparagus/handmade chocolate truffle meal we foraged at the farmer's market this morning!

for you, Mildred Pitt

One of my intructors today said, "Nurses get really excited about patients' gas and bowel movements." Need I say more?
