The fact that I love feet is no secret, which is why I threw that in there lol.

I need two of me

I just do not know how I'm going to get everything done by Christmas Eve...between all the cooking, shopping, socializing, and planning...ect. :seeingstars:

I miss Hershey Park's Christmas lights....and taking my son for hot chocolate and cinnamon buns after we did the walking tour through Boiling Springs.

Apropos of nothing:

I'm wondering how people ride the subway without removing their coats/scarves/etc. Even when it's below freezing in the dead of winter, it gets so hot on subway platforms. I'm jealous of people who don't turn into a hot mess, because I always do.

NY people – how do you do it? I'm an Atlanta transplant, so all tips are appreciated!

My eldest daughter turns 21 today.....I was her age when I had her....just seems like yesterday she was just a baby....and had to hold my hand to cross the street....I may be a bit weepy today....

It's been days now.....I can't get this song off my mind

Had a visit with my primary care doc today. I am much relieved that she reversed the decision of the specialist and will not be putting me on Plaquenil at this time (one of the frequent, serious side effects is blindness... that's very scary to me)....however, she has decided to send me to a new specialist that's over three hours away. She's a damn good doctor and is doing everything she can to help. I trust her...but am frustrated at the last specialist.

Tomorrow is a long morning with a different doctor for a different issue...I need strength and patience.

That I am conflicted....and yet oddly detached from the outcome.

Many things and excited about the new year

I hate the name of Pantone's color of the year for 2015

Canadian driver jailed for deaths caused by stopping for ducks:

OTTAWA (Reuters) - A Canadian woman was sentenced to 90 days in jail on Thursday for causing two deaths in 2010 when she stopped her car on a Quebec highway to help a group of ducklings crossing the road.

Emma Czornobaj had been convicted in June of two counts each of criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing death.

According to media reports on Thursday, Czornobaj stopped her car abruptly in the passing lane of a highway south of Montreal when she saw the ducklings. The motorcycle behind Czornobaj's car then crashed into her vehicle, killing the 50-year-old man driving the motorcycle and his 16-year-old daughter.

"I just wanted to pick all these ducklings up and put them in my car," Czornobaj had testified during her trial. "I know it was a mistake."

The jail time will be served on the weekends. Czornobaj was also sentenced to 240 hours of community service, probation and banned from driving for 10 years.

Prosecutors had sought a nine-month jail sentence.

I want to know what happened to the ducks.

It is awful that two people were killed, but I don't know a single person who would just plow over a group of ducklings. Most people would instinctively stop. I'm sure the lady would have done differently if she had known it would cause a fatal accident. Seems a bit harsh. And, yes, hopefully the ducklings were okay, too.

She was in the LEFT lane on a busy highway. She could have moved her car to the right lane, parked on the shoulder and then tried to help the ducklings. But she stopped her car. Suddenly. In the LEFT LANE. No warning.

You can't tell me she didn't know the shit storm she was starting. Two innocent people died because of the natural selection moment that should have been hers.

A motorcycle has a better chance of maneuvering around small, fast moving creatures than a four wheeler does anyway.

Even though speed was a factor, I feel hard-pressed to believe that they would have died if her car wasn't there.

I think the 90 day sentence is laughable. I like the 10 year driving ban though.

I'm with Kobi. I want to know what happened to the ducklings.

Waking up at exactly 12:34 and being so wide awake

lol, well I can forget about getting that job. I didn't anticipate being so thrown off by a phone interview; ugh. Mercifully, I was put out of my misery quickly.

Definitely not one of my finest moments. (w)

Okay, so I've been a Respiratory Therapist for 26 years now. For all these years, I've worked to help people to breathe better. I've held handswith scared patients and family members, used ventilators as "bridges" to save lives from respiratory and cardiac crisis/disease and as end of life life support. I've educated patients and family members about respiratory and heart disease, held babies as young as 24 weeks in my hands while delivering serfanctant therapy and maintained their ventilators. I've also sat through countless patient care plan meetings and been a part of the discharge planning team. I've been a key member of an Advanced Life Support/Code team, done countless chest compressions, inserted many, many endotracheal tubes, arterial lines and bagged thousands of patients, both young and old. I've been at the deathbeds of adults, children and babies. I've held many a cold hand as the last breath of life escaped a patient's lips. I've lost count of how many "flat lines" I've seen on a monitor. I've been puked on, coughed on, grabbed, kicked and hugged. I've lost a lot of shoes and clothing to everything from chest/pleural fluid, to vomit, feces and urine.

I am now retired from all that. Away from the death, dying and suffering. Away, to, from the joys of seeing folks recover and go back to the business of living. Away from the friends I've worked alongside for so many years and all the smiles, laughter, tears, frustrations......and hugs.

Thing is, I'm not done YET. :twitch:

Our 9 y/o sweet male blond tabbycat, Henry, has asthma. Looks like I'll be returning to the world of Respiratory Therapy!!! I now have to teach Henry to use a Metered Dose Inhaler, or AeroKat. :|

This should be very, very interesting, indeed. :twitch:

~Theo~ :bouquet:.....Retired???? Who's retired???? :|

I want to go camping by the lake for several days for my birthday...enjoying a hot spiced apple cider while cuddled up next to a nice fire...watching the eagles scoop fish from the lake, soaking up the sunshine and listening to the water lap at the rocky banks of the lake as I watch the stunning sunset...the sounds and scents of nature and forest around me...and maybe getting to watch fireworks over the water as someone celibrates the new year.
