The humidity here today is killer.

Ick.

Went walking. Need a shower.

My love has offered to take me to dinner. Contemplating what kind of dinner to go for.

I work all weekend so if you happen to get the swine flu come and see me.

Hello Texas

Vacation with my love was lotsa fun.

But it is nice to be home.

Dough for cinnamon buns on its first rise.

Last load of laundry in the washing machine.

I am frequently amazed at my own domesticity.

Except when I am leaving clothes all about, dirtying dishes, tracking in dirt, and generally being a slob.

Which, unfortunately for the person who lives with me, is a good part of the time.

Surely if I have him sample the cinnamon buns to make sure they are good before I take them to work tomorrow it will make up for it.

This post is going to be nothing but quite a lot of bitching about the job that I hate.

Our unit is closed. Again.

I rock the float pool, but if I am going to rock it then maybe they could pay me the extra they pay the float pool nurses ? Only I can't transfer to that because you have to have two years of experience to be a floater.

Unless you are me and then you were working in the float pool during orientation fresh out of nursing school.

Also I was sent home early on Friday and cancelled Monday and yesterday. Which makes a lot of sense because they are supposed to have a rotation list and everyone takes a turn if someone has to be cancelled.

I sure do have a lot of turns.


I love not going to that shit hole, but I also have to make a living somehow and working one day a week is not really going to cut it.

Finally our schedule for next month, the one that starts on Sunday, has still not been posted.

What superb staff management !

We are going on vacation next week and then when we get back I am looking for a new job because this one is the worst.

Worst I tell you.

However, today I went to market day at the organic farm and got baby lettuce and snow peas and delicate purple carrots. And other things. And I wore my new linen hat low over my eyes and a pair of bloomers with a ruffle at the bottom.

So how bad can life really be ?

Not so bad after all.

It is hard for me to be unhappy about being called off from work when the weather is perfect and my job is ass. Even though it means being broke.

It is possible that I will have to go in and work for four hours.

What ?

Thinking of going to pick up a couple of plants to replace some of ours that are dead or almost dead.

Hope you had a nice Easter weekend.

Home from yoga class and sipping on a caffeinated beverage.

Just kicked on the heat for a bit to take the chill out of the air. Since I am an energy-hogging planet-hater.

Put new music on the tiny pink i-pod to listen to today while working out.

Hope my lover comes home today for lunch. I like him.

Tonight making a Vietnamese curry with pork chops, tiny little potatoes, and coconut milk.

Right now there is much much laundry waiting to be folded so maybe I should get to it.

Going for lunch with my lover.

Then to work for a competency fair. Yawn.

Then for a walk and grocery shopping.

Back home at the end for cooking dinner and into bed early.

Up up up for work tomorrow am.

Hope I remember what I'm doing.

Today my lover slept in a bit and it really started the day out nice.

Beautiful day here. Crazy windy though.

For lunch I ate three of the meatballs I made yesterday and they were rather tasty.

My new friend meet-up yesterday was not as awkward as it could have been. Instead of a bagel I had sourdough bread grilled with cheese, basil, onions, and jalapenos. Mmm. We are going to do it again next week sometime.

Tonight meeting my other potential internets friend.

I need to take a shower and scrounge up something to wear that doesn't make me look like a total doofus.

Could take a while.

Later !

Just finished making some meatballs for dinner and my hands smell a little bit like dead dirty turkey.

Disgusting, huh ?

Spent the day before that smelling of French soap and coconut oil and lingering sex.

Was much nicer.

Going to take a shower to wash it all away, go have a TB test so can go back to work Saturday, and head to South Austin to meet-up with some maybe new friends for coffee and possibly a bagel with cream cheese and a smattering of veggies.

No tomato.

I'll be wearing a red dress and saucy hat so how could they not think I am fab ?
