The weather was really nice out yesterday and my husband and I went out for a relaxing meal and had a few good laughs.

I'm getting my hair coloured today.
I need a dye job too!


I contacted a shelter today about volunteering. But I told the woman I only wanted to work with the cats. I'm afraid of dogs...large or small...so I'm hoping they will accept request.

And I cleaned out my storage and compiled a box to bring to the shelter. Stuff Kitty didn't play with or use.

I have a feeling they will LOVE to have you working with the cats and kittens....they are the most labor-intensive, need a lot of socializing...and if they won't take you there, just look on the internet for your local cats only shelters  and volunteer.  You would be a god-send !

Met with a group of great, supportive friends for dinner.    Wrote a review for a terrific kitty book on Amazon.  Got some good news on my one cat's blood results from the cat doctor.  A good day !

Bought yet another new hose for the Dyson vacuum cleaner. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Dyson; it does a great job cleaning up pet hair. But those hoses.....
. Worst vacuum hoses on earth.

A new one is on its way to our house.

I didn't lose my cool when a student got up and walked out of the room 60 minutes into a 90-minute test, with her handbag (think smartphone) and without asking whether she could go to the lavatory. I simply took the test off her desk and refused to give it back when she returned after 11 1/2 minutes. Tough luck.

I started clinicals with my preceptor yesterday and she mentioned several times being very happy with my performance. One of patients, as we walked into the room at the end of my shift to give report to the nurse coming onto shift, her son said, "Oh there's the cool nursing student!"  I blushed and was totally caught off guard, lol!

Pretty soon it will be. "Oh, there's that cool nurse!"  .....lol  

How long are "clinicals" if you don't mind me asking.

 When I was in the hospital as a kid, very short time, but I still remember the cool nurses I had.   The mean ones, are now a blur....lol.

I sure hope so!  I graduate in May, so not much longer.  Only 9 more days (12+ hour days) total of clinical left.  Of course I still have classes, exams, projects, etc.

For some reason, I thought the "clinical part" would be the ending part of a nursing program, and all those exams, projects would have been over with.  Your program sounds better in the sense that you do both clinical and then written again.

12+ hour days....whoah,  no wonder some of them were cranky,  back then. ..lol.

good luck then on your exams, but since that patient's comments said it all, I'm thinking you'll do well.

Yeah we have clinicals, exams, and projects every semester.  Each semester being progressively harder, of course.  And thanks!

I hope your wrist improves soon. That's no fun.

I made good progress on a jig saw puzzle today.

Ahh, @Tammat  ...thanks for that mention of jig saw puzzle.  I used to do them before, and they were a great way to relax but also focus.  Mine were 500 or 1000pcs, and then I would glue them to cardboard and sort of keep them hanging for awhile.

I'm not sure if I'd have the perseverance now, but never hurts to try one.
