I woke up to the sound of the phone reminding me that i had to take gram to an appointment today at 12:15….we got there in good time, and then found out they apparently didn’t schedule things properly & it is not until next week. arrgh! so gram had to be shuffled around in the humidity for nothing. mom & i were pretty ticked. after we dropped si off at gram’s, Nat, Cj & i cleaned up around here. the day went by fast. Am: 5k run in about 30 min. HOT & humid. the air is so wet you can drink it. But we didn’t get the heavy t-storms predicted…that’s why I slipped in a pm 13.5 mile ride in 47 min, I booked b/c it seemed any minute it might have started the downpour. i still promised chris i’d make some yummy bruscetta (w/ mozzerella) so i’m off into the kitchen. also some Cabernet Sauvignon & Law and order.

41m 1500.00 yards 2m 44s /100 yards
pm: 1500 yards at ymca~1000 pull, 250 free, 150 breast, 100 kick in 41 minutes w/short rests. Miserable day :( After last night’s long shift, getting home after 2:30am and having trouble sleeping, I slept untill 8am then fielded a phone call from Si’s guidance counsellor re: her senior year. On & off in and out of short naps, dealing w/ breakfast for the kids, etc. Feeling like cow poop. It’s very hot/humid (today much worse than yesterday, IMHO).

  • We went to the lake for only a little over an hour. CJ acciddently knocked Nat’s noseplugs out so she was upset & didn’t want to swim any longer. I swam out to the dock but only once back and forth. Then we went to DSG and I got them water shoes, nose plugs for them both, and a new soccer ball for Nat.

    BTW, CJ loves Fraps just like Nat loves her green tea!

    Had a crazy busy night at work- 7pm to 2am. Tons of orders, a full house of patients, a heavy period. constant bell ringing, a urinary retention situation, doctor calls and 2 patients on palliative care. Might I add 12 patients with treatments, meds, blood sugars, vital signs, narcotic pain relievers, etc. Shot. I need some time off. Poor little Natalie actually TEXTED me from the cell I’m giving her and letting her use when I’m at work. "Mommy i miss you when are you coming home?"

open water, brave me We had a great time at Freedom Lake I finally got up the nerve to just swim out and back from the dock, and lost count- I’m going to say I swam appx 20 yards x at least 30x? Times are severely approximate…but I’m so proud!!! I was actually fast, (for ME) and am a lot more comfortable mixing in breaststroke with my free, especially for sighting purposes! We were talking with some kids & parents from school, apparently the water snake we saw under the little walkway bridge to the beach is NOT the only one at the lake….yikes.

Sienna is causing some real problems, and we are now at a real crossroads. God do we need the Cross. No wonder some things are falling apart. I haven’t been bringing my concerns to the Lord.

PM 15.4 mi ride in 56min-powerful but not fast!05Allez24_Blue_dMA12133287-0013MA12626851-0003

15 mile ride in 55 min- would have gone longer but I have to work tonight, 7pm to "whenever." I feel more prepared for tonight, though. I did some research about lab values I encounter often and have my paperwork ready.

I finally watered outside- my entire garden has suffered my negligence. I need to remember to do the yard! Tomorrow we are going to the Lake!

Will talk later, as CJ MUST show me the spiderman 3 game online RIGHT NOW!

Work was busy, productive, and went well. I had a much better handle on things since I knew all the patients on my side from last time. But STILL got out late, at 12:50 am since there’s so much charting, picking up orders, and too few CNA’s to deal with the endless call bells, etc. But I think I did good, and tried to be a blessing to others.
