sandwich generation

From time to time, good things just happen.
A "perfect storm" of good things!
Umbrella
Somewhere in some dumb small little town,
Some nurse couldn't come in to work...
So it all shuffled down to not being able to fill a case.
And here's me - with two black eyes.
And not really able to work for a few days.
(I'm ok..... just look to be "a sight!")

Subway - not just for the "Sandwich Generation"
Rolling on the floor laughing
So I got some impromptu "light duty" for couple of days.....
Took a sweet "little old lady" shopping
(She loves to shop)
And then to eat at Subway
(She loves to eat)
And then to Starbucks
(ditto)
Angel
She thinks I'm her hero
Cuz I "fixed" her cell phone.
(It needed to be reset)
And showed her how to work a cable box.
(Got that one, too!)
And the fancy new microwave.
(Ask a foodie about the microwave!)
Nerd smile
So we shopped and giggled and ate
And sat outside in the sun
like a couple of little old ladies on holiday!
Rainbow + Dog face + Cat face
(Rainbows and Puppies and Kitties)
It was win-win all the way around.
And it was a happy day for everyone!




She from Naw-lans, where day straight-up
talk like day from der Mousie Soy-cus!
(I'm not fluent in that language -
But I do understand just a leedle!)

The company I work for does all kinds of Nursing,
not just Hospice.... cuz a nurse is a nurse, after all!
In the summer, we have alot of post-op
face-lift cases and tummy tucks!
And lots of private duty.

Hope your day is happy and easy and fun -
Maybe even a little sweaty - but not over the small stuff!

  7. Sounds like a lot of fun, and that you both got the warm-fuzzies! She sounds cute! I lived down in Gulfport MS for a few years during my gypsy days..just kind of floating around. Im french-canadian/sicilian/scottish/possibly some other mystery euro-ness in there---and everyone used to ask me if I were Cajun! I love that accent. Ironically, living so close to the big easy I never made it there!! Id love to go there on vacay someday :-)

  8. I bet you just made that a fun day for your patient! My 92 yo mom has never figured out how to use the oven on our stove. It's been here about 3 years now. I think she has a racket going.
