Quilting gone bad….
What happens when you are so busy quilting that you accidentally forget to remove the needle before you sit?
Some numbing(to remove said needle), 3 sutures and an xray to confirm.
Good job Mom!!

Are you a twit?
Twitterer?
Twittee?
I dont know what else to call it, but apparently everyone is on twitter. You can even follow Fox news on twitter. Im refusing to become a twit. Im already spending way too much time playing around online… Like I really need another excuse to avoid writing my therapeutic conversation.
Did anyone watch President Obama this morning? He was talking about the need for advancement in the science and technology departments of education. I thought “thats great Mr.President but our govenor is raising the cost of tuition to cover the budget defecit”.
Does anyone else find this odd? Controversal?
And next thing you know Mr. President will be a twit too.

A picture to make me smile….
My love, My life, My bestfriend….I do.
Four point restraints, and the other options
And just in case there is a hand nozzle for assisstance in showering, and/or cleaning the room.
“Now Student Rn Tiffany, you arent supposed to smile while in restaints!”
“Go ahead Tiff, see if you can get out of them!”
“I give up….”
Next week is my last week in the Mental health setting, and then I move on to Med/Surg. I wonder what fun adventures I will find there?!
Adventures in low census mental health care….
And here is what our boredom caused…
They were nice enough to let me out…but I did get to experience laying there for a couple of minutes! See…Im getting the “**first class” experience!
Its gonna be a bad day
It took the starbucks lady 15mins to make my latte. Now im running late and in a bad mood.
Oh, and she gave me a tepid latte.
What puts you in a bad mood?

A way to know you are really tired and busy….. You realize your underwear are on inside out, 8 hours after putting them on.
Some nights are harder than others
Tonight im reading about central venous access devices and hoping that
0700 comes quickly….
The things that make me think of you
In my family, my love for watermelon is no secret. My husband experienced it first hand last summer. I can devour an entire watermelon by myself! I love that juicy wonderful fruit. I crave it constantly.
As I was walking through my favorite whole foods market I happen upon this beautiful specimen.
Oh god…its Watermelon season again! And with the Hubbs deployed there is no one to share (steal) part of the melon…so I will be forced to eat the entire 7lb watermelon myself….
YUM!
What is your favorite fruit?
Happy Birthday Aunt Carol
When I was a child I had a favorite Aunt. She always had us kids around, we laughed, played and rough housed (and got ourselves in trouble)…she was so much fun, and more loving than anyone person could ever be.
My Aunt passed away two years ago, from the devastating effects of breast cancer. Her death although tragic was miraculous in that it brought the families back together.
To my favorite Aunt on her birthday….I love you so much. I can never begin to express my thanks to you for giving me my family back.
Love you Aunt Carol.
Thursday thoughts
Two weeks down from mental health clinicals. So far I have seen Bipolar I and II, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, mania, hypomania, witnessed a client assault staff, watched people put into 5 point restraints, seen hypersexuality, and last but not least more poly substance abusers than I could imagine.
I am shocked at the sheer volume of mentally ill people who do drugs and or alcohol. It gives me real insight into the nature of certain people who are alcoholics and the imense possibility that they have some underlying mental illness. If I was a diagnostician I would guess to say that at the very least HE had antisocial personality disorder and/or psychosis NOS. But that is just my guess…..
Speaking of antisocials….if someone looked like this:
Wouldnt you guess that they had some sort of thyroid issue?(The person in this picture does have a thyroid issue, but I digress) I had a client that had very similar “thyroid” looking appearance but was a schizophrenic….Oh my goodness it freaked me out!
