mix up day

Ended up working on my day off

Since there was a mix up 

We have clinic days for IV therapy. 

Extremely graphic reaction 

From a French newspaper. 

The heat of the abortion ban

Has an ethical dilemma at the core. 

No one is talking about it. 

Ethics -the Nursing Definition-

Says that you can’t deliver care that

Puts your benefit higher 

Than the patient’s benefit. 

Or anyone else. 

In pregnancy, a person (baby)

Has to put aside the needs of the mother

Second to the needs of the baby. 

Even if the mother doesn’t consent. 

The fetus then has rights 

that no other human has:

To force a person - to make a mother

Use her body to keep someone else alive. 

I guess the GOP wants the women

To have already come to this conclusion. 

They want every woman 

To want every child.  

So what they’re really saying is

They want to legislate her morality 

So it matches their own. 

Also unconstitutional. 

People have different beliefs. 

They just do. 

The First Amendment states it-

But it’s a right. Not something earned. 

That why contraception and 

Same sex marriage are also 

Being brought back into question. 

Due Process. 

And also the Conservatives 

Are really really conservative. 

When I was young, like 10-

I told my mother I was in love

 with Vanessa Redgrave. 

And I wanted to marry her. 

My mother said that was impossible. 

Because Of Church Beliefs. 

Back then, homosexuality was still

Listed as a mental disorder. 

My question always was-

But what if I don’t have the same beliefs? 

And the answer pretty much was 

“Tough shit!” And still is. 

We decide as a society 

what we want and 

what we won’t tolerate. 

One week from Austin! 

I’m ready for time off. 

I’m not ready for a keto convention. 

A clinic view. 

Not always the sky box. Lol. 

I love this vein finder gizmo 

Until you get to the 

Infamous Fork In The Road. 

Then you’re too tired to care. 

I didn’t want to get up today. 

Even after 9 hours sleep. 

Clinic days are always busy. 

Yours… barely. 

With a fake smile. 

I’m in the “Barely Hanging On”

Phase of COVID Nursing. 

I don’t see this lasting past October. 

It’s been “just one more month” now

Going on 3 years!

“Just hold on for one more month!”

Lies. 

At least I made a plan and followed through. 

Every shift I work extra

Goes right into a goodie box 

For StableCoin. 

Bitcoin loses value but not 

StableCoin.  It’s always pegged to

One US Dollar. And earns 7% interest! 

I like to think of it as a little savings account.
