Update

A close friend of mine recently gave me a gentle reminder that I haven't updated this blog for awhile......so here I sit, sipping my coffee and attempting an update. You know, it's funny how time changes us. When my boys were little they were my whole life. We did everything together and were very close. I played games with them, colored in their coloring books with them, even let them sleep in the bed with me when they felt like it. These days though, I have a hard time chasing after toddlers (my grandson). He just seems to be into everything, and for some reason I just don't remember the boys acting like that at that age. Maybe I have just forgotten what it was like. But I love my grandson Mikey. He'll be one year old on March 3rd and I can't believe this year is gone already. Tempus fugit my friends.
I'm still working day shift at the nursing home. It's not as depressing as it used to seem. I think they have finally accepted me. Well, most of them anyway. "Them" being the people that have worked there awhile. Since I am in the minority I have had to work hard to make acquaintances and earn a little respect, but things are progressing. The state was in this week for our yearly survey. Good news there.........we had no tags, meaning they found nothing wrong and we got a perfect score with the state! Two months ago I would not have believed this. My Director of Nursing picks on me lot. She says it's because I'm a good nurse and can be better. Well, I believe that nursing comes from the heart. If you have a good heart, you will be a good nurse. I came to nursing because I felt it was what I was called to do, although I really wanted to be a doctor. I think if I were a doctor, I would make housecalls to the elderly and infirm, or the poor who have no transportation to get out to the doctor's office. A truly good doctor works from the heart also...........just like a good nurse.
