Welcome to 2021! A lot of us have been looking forward to the new year. It seems like 2020 was a real doozy in so many ways. I love the quote by L.M. Montgomery that “Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it…yet”. I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions. I do have … [Read more…]
I deactivated my Facebook account over the weekend. This was after minimizing my exposure/ usage over the last two weeks. I didn’t deactivate Instagram, but I deleted the Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram apps off of my phone. I have a Twitter account, but I don’t even know how to use that- so I’m pretty sure … [Read more…]
Almost 2 weeks ago…… I don’t want it to sound like I’m doing something REVOLUTIONARY, but I need a change. Today I have started making preparations to deactivate my social media accounts (not all of them really- Facebook and Instagram mostly). I’ve actually been thinking about this for a while. A couple of things … [Read more…]
Well, we have been home for well over a year now. The Plan: get an assignment near home, finish our home renovations, move to the mountains of Western NC. Well, life happened. The assignment ‘near home’ fell through and I went back to work at my ‘home’ hospital. That turned out to be really great, … [Read more…]
Here I am- 2 weeks into my health journey- progress is slow, y’all. I’ve been an instant gratification kinda gal when it comes to weight loss in the past. I cut the calories super slow, lose weight super fast and then proceed to gain it back. I’ve stuck to ‘my plan’ all week. What does … [Read more…]
Well, I have pretty much spent the last year of my life eating whatever I wanted. There were small periods of time where I cut back and lost a few times, but that was the extent of it- no lasting change. And you know how the holiday season is- countless cookies and deserts at work … [Read more…]
So… we’ve been plugging along on our Dave Ramsey journey. Credit Card #1 is paid in full and we are well on our way to eradicating Credit Card #2. #2 was used to finance our new roof, so it’s a bit of a doozy. So, you could argue whether we are ‘gazelle intense’ or not. … [Read more…]
So, I am not too big into New Years Resolutions. I guess I just feel like, for me, it is just a wish list that I usually don’t honor. I feel like it just kind of sets me up for failure. I do believe in making goals, though. For 2019, I would like to create … [Read more…]
We’ve spent a full two years away from home at this point. Last year, 2017, we traveled out West and lived in Arizona, Washington and California. This year, 2018, we have lived in Florida and West Virginia. Summerville, SC has always been home. When I worked in Charleston before traveling, my patients would often ask … [Read more…]
It’s been a rough couple of days on the front lines of nursing. I can’t give specifics, because ,obviously, that would violate HIPAA and I wouldn’t want to do that. This post is written more as a need to vent to people who understand my position, as opposed to one that is preaching to anyone. … [Read more…]
