a conglomeration of information....hey that rhymes!

First of all I would like to confess to all who care that I ate McDonald's cheeseburgers last night. yes, it's true. I just couldn't fend off the niggling desire any more. A girl will relent after a good 3 or 4 months of persistent cravings. And, oh my goodness, it was delicious. Confession over. Let's move on.

Shooting stars are beautiful. Lying on a blanket with a good friend watching shooting stars is even more beautiful. Somehow being outside late at night brings out great conversation. I love honest conversations. I love silly conversation. I love talking about Jesus and how He's changing me and hearing about how He's changing others. I really love that Beth has an inspiratory wheeze when she's laughing heartily.

I found out yesterday that unexpected people read my blog. It was very heartwarming. Sometimes it feels like I write these words and send them out into cyberspace and no one really cares. Thanks for reading! And if you'd like to leave a witty, or not so witty, comment that'd be great.

Yesterday at work I was taking care of a particularly sick patient. It was me and two of the docs in the room for a good 3 hours just doing procedure after procedure. One of our senior residents is a smallish guy with a big heart. We had to pull the patient up the bed so she was in the right position for one of the procedures. This smallish doc offered to help me. "1, 2, 3" We pull her up and the patient moves about 6 inches up and over towards me leaving her at an angle in the bed. He looks up at me and says with a smirk, "clearly there is a power differential here." Oh the light moments in the midst of the chaos!

Two weeks ago, before I went to Terrace, I got my new couch complete with a movable chaise lounge. Unfortunately the legs for the movable part didn't come with the couch. They are coming today!! YAY for being able to lounge comfortably!

Sometimes when I look at my calendar for the fall I feel a little panicky. How will I get this all done?! But I always do and it's always fun.

Okay friends, thanks for reading this mess. I'm sure I have even more thoughts that just aren't surfacing right now. They will probably come to me in the middle of the night at work tonight. Now I must clean my house. As my mother always said, "It's not going to clean itself you know." They make self cleaning ovens. Why not self cleaning apartments? Now there's an idea!

inspiratory wheeze!?

come on...it's cute. And I needed to use a little bit of nursey language. However, we usually only hear the inspiratory wheeze through a stethoscope so that just shows how special your sound is!
