end of an era


Didn’t want the night to end. 
I got a text from an old friend 
and family member of a young girl 
I once was Nurse to. 
She lives through her childhood, 
And died last week. 
Talk about a hard case! 
But then again- 
No case is easy. 


In a perfect world, 
we wouldn’t need nurses. 


This poor kid had a 
subdural hematoma. 
Most people die from that. 
Just like on Law & Order. 
I was with this case 12 years. 
We were like family. 




Managed to keep it clean
For a few days now! 


Henna finger dip. 
Just for fun. 


It’s 98° in the room where I work. 
Even more- and hotter
If you sit next to a machine. 



The old person selfie! 
They never seem to know where to look. 


Edited To Add:

Got to work. 
Got a text. 
My sister died last night as well. 
Odd. It was about the same time 
I was awake last night. 
Just woke up. 1:30. 
Maybe she came to say goodbye. 
Fly on- 
Sweet Baby Girl Ashton
And Sweet sister Kaye!

sleepy days


Watch went dead. 
Like me. 
Need a long reset button. 
But I can’t seem to find it. 


Yea lol be glad when the pandemic is done. 
I feel a general decline is in place. 


Egg Bites.


Cat Bites. 
I take the baby in my room to sleep. 
But he’s not a baby anymore 
His leg is healed
And he needs to join the fold. 
He only snuggles about half the night. 
Then he’s on the prowl. 
And he wakes me up. 
That’s a no go. 

I got reacquainted with some 
high school friends for the reunion. 
Most of them are Texan Republicans. 
They all drank the Kool-Aide. 
Hate Lib-tards. 
Hate Hillary. 
Hate masks and think CoVid is a joke. 
Muh- rights! 

Well. One of them is now in ICU. 
And all I can say is 
I’m sorry. But we’ve talked about this
For almost 2 years! 
How can you NOT get vaccinated!?
And what did you expect? 
Gasping for every breath. 
Not fun.

kid day


Better living through chemistry 


Worked all day. 
All day. 
Cleaning my room. 
It never ends. 
Things pile up
And need to get un-piled. 




The Money Shot. 


Back lighting with LED rope. 
More like a ribbon of tape. 


Old MCM TV cabinet 
And my new chair. 


Tools and subwoofers. 
What else?  Lol. 
I installed a  USB light. 


Salad Salad Salad. 
I can’t get enough Salad. 
Ever since I got out
Of the hospital. 


Mo Larry and Curly. 
Everything I own is covered 
With cat hair. 
Glad I don’t have allergies! 


Back to work. 
Nice to see cooler temps. 




Back to work 
With a small boy. 
Young. Not small. 
He’s taller than me- at 10 years old. 
He doesn’t want me there. 
He doesn’t like anyone messing with him. 
And his only goal is to prank and tease. 
And resist. And push. 
He would slap and hit- if he could. 

Serious behavior problems. 
I guess there’s no rule that says 
People need to want to get better. 

What a way to earn a living. 
These medically complex kids.
