no nurse day

Summer in Texas. 

Much of Texas is semi-arid. 

Every time I stall

In weight loss, people say it’s the 

Monster Drink I have every day. 

Well. Maybe so. 

Salad. Before. 

Salad. After. 

Broccoli. 

Ranch Dressing with a little 

Broccoli in there somewhere. 

Took a long walk yesterday. 

No walk today. 

I was supposed to train a Nurse. 

But the company sent her

Somewhere else. Wow. 

They knew about this -

They planned for this -

But didn’t manage to tell me

Until after my shift had started. 

Sometimes I wonder 

How they stay in business. 

Well. School is out. 

Summer is here. 

Time for the summer schedule. 

Early morning walks 

And light meals 

With not much indoor cooking. 

The Nurse who was going to work

For me a second day- 

Took another case. 

This Nursing Shortage. OMG. 

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t 

Supposed to be like this.
