I went grocery shopping today and saw this guy taking inventory.

Today, I signed on to go back on the schedule for working first shift - 6a-2p.
Right now it's going to be part time, being both floor nurse and other days helping in medical records.
Retirement?? Not yet!
😁
 
I had a very busy day.
First up, after working my first full weekend since signing back on as a scheduled nurse vs being prn - had my first orientation day for working part of those days in medical records.
I'm going to like it, a LOT.
I gifted both of my sons with a chunk of change, Ty for their mortgage and Jeff and Kasey for whatever they may need.
Bought myself a small microwave because I never thought I'd need one lol
Went to a dental appointment, then a chiropractor appointment.
Yes, busy.
I'm not retiring until I turn 70- something.
Because as Ty said " you ain't old Mom"..
 
Lol
Maybe they like the smell of camphor?


I also use Volteran, Biofreeze and Tiger Balm.
I just tried Biofreeze Professional Gel for the first time, much better than the cream in my opinion. My back is fine for a long time, and then it seems to flare back up for a day or two. It's not horrible, though.
 
We left at 0700 and had a good drive till we got to OR. There was a multi semi accident at LaGrange, OR. Waze took up on a detour route through mountains, snow, but some of the most scenic area of Oregon but was a six hour side trip. We didn’t get to our hotel till 1930. We checked in then went out to dinner at Brick 29. we weren’t disappointed.
 
Today is Matt’s birthday. Originally the plan was to go out to dinner tonight but he had two parties and a 10 top book so he is cooking and making sure the place is running smoothly. He won’t get home till 0100 or 2. Nancy did go to Whole Foods and get him a carrot cake and chocolate cup cakes for tomorrow. I didn’t go out at all today and stayed with Maddie while she shopped. We watched two Disney movies this afternoon. I’d never seen Encanto before and enjoyed it.

A 6-hour side trip and 2 Disney movies?? You are a great father and grandfather, John! :)

Working days, and having to get up at 4am in order to be front and center on my unit at 5:45 is glorious.
The only thing I miss on the days I do work is spending forum time with you all.
I do take a peek when I can though lol
I'm going to be first shift unit manager, on the front - which is 100 hall, beginning this weekend. To think I was even considering retirement now is crazy.
My sons and a bunch of my coworkers were very much against it.

About healthcare- covid is now a thing of the past. We've completely dc'd the N95 masks, goggles and even thinking or worrying much about it.
It's very nice to just be a nurse and not have to worry about that anymore.

Weather woes yesterday and early this morning :(.
Tornado watch came in about 10pm, and a tornado warning came in shortly after that. I had already prepared everything outside and inside, but it's always pretty scary.
I saw the video of the guy in the red pickup swirling around inside the tornado, then it's like it sat him back down and he drove away.😯🤔
