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…]

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…]
It’s been a tough couple of weeks. Financially, or budgetly- speaking, I guess. No more credit cards and that should be easy(good-bye, my beloved Disney card). Actually, the not spending any additional money has been incredibly easy. The getting every little single thing (aka, all the bills) onto paper budgeting- not so easy. I’ve just … [Read more…]
Well, I warned you. I told you I’d be talking about Dave Ramsey and here I am, talking about Dave Ramsey. And I might as well- if you’re following what I’m writing then I might as well explain myself so if you don’t know what I’m talking about then we can at least be on … [Read more…]
I love daisies. We saw a lot of different flowers and foliage on our afternoon walk. We’ve been wanting to check out the Sunrise Carriage Trail for a while now as a couple people have suggested it. After an online search I learned that this trail was constructed in ” 1905 by former Governor … [Read more…]
