Who has time - usually tv bores me, but when I do find myself watching it...HOUSE (love me some House) !!!, Law and Order, News, Most Discovery Channels, MAD TV and of course Sponge Bob
Books
Nursing Nursing Nursing always trying to stay current and increase my knowledge base for my pt's benefit. The Bible ( yes I actully read the Bible, it's a great book - one worth checking out if you haven't no matter what you believe )
Heroes
If to be one's hero a person must possess these traits: be a humanitarian, persistent, responsible, honest, trustworthy, courageous. brave, selfless, humble, steadfast through trials and tribulations and maintains a sense of humor in times of adversity...............then I would have to say my patients who are facing death through diagnosis of a terminal illness.
About me: Borrowed this from my friend David " feeble follower of Jesus "
Watching first graders play volleyball is FUN !
I think life is better than a roller coaster ride and I love me some roller coasters!
R.N. -- work in Hospice Nothing deep or poetic just some thoughts about my job.
I've learned as a Hospice Nurse that people do not change because they know they are dying, families do not magically fall in love with each other and start rallying around the terminally ill like in a Lifetime movie, we don't go out with a bang - more like ,become unresponsive or terminally agitated and then slip off.
Most of my pt's say they were just moseying along when WHAM ! - all of a sudden one day something strange shows up in the labs or a new pain, bump or lump shows up "really I've never been sick a day in my life" - off for more testing, testing, testing, probing, poking, cutting .... only to be told after months or years of spending every minute and $$ with the health care system "There's nothing more we can do."
I've also learned from my patients who are admirable, abnormal, brave, everyday, cool, airy, neat, decent, groovy, nutty, ordinary, interesting ,divine, sound, fabulous, flagrant, marvelous, sensational, splendid, rude, superb, terrific, wonderful, unpleasant, dandy, delightful, swell, tremendous, vintage, naughty, mostly just ...... unfortunate, there is a successful death and unsuccessful death, that time is ever so precious not something to waste, not to sweat the small things or small people for that matter and as one of my pt's said to me " live your life to the fullest, do it all, see it all, don't waste a single minute ( I know, sounds very cliche - like I said this isn't anything deep or poetic just some reflections about my job )"
I love what I do for a living!
Oh yea, something else that is super important, I have 3 ferrets and Cassie the German Shepherd (my lil angels):

There was a pit bull in Boo's yard yesterday. I really liked him. He was from Dundalk. we bonded. He didn't hurt Boo, Spooky or Freaky. He barked when I left him and walked Boo. He really liked being at my house. He had a tag. I called. they came, he left. I am sad. The dog man said he had killed six dogs. I think he went to doggie rehab and was in recovery. He was very respectfull to the kitties and came in the house when they left the living room. He checked out the house went in my room sniffed. He could have hurt all of us but didn't. I am going to look for him. I know what street he lives on. He was very content on my porch when I was there with him. I just think he needs love and a good home. I didn't realize it was a pit bull untill the dog people told me. I said he was a bull dog. Now I know. I still like him and Boo did too. Going to search.
How are you doing Angie? It's been a while but I think of you each time I come on here. Wishing you a beautiful evening and week-end that is just around the corner! Hugs, Renee
