So much stuff...

My boss has been on my nerves a lot lately...and now I've started with this new place that is super sweet to me but pays less....I'd take the pay cut for some peace of mind...believe it.

I need jeans...mine are worn out in different ways....but I hate hate HATE jean shopping. It sucks to be short...

I've been thinking about getting a roommate for a while since my kid can't stay still. Then I start thinking about why my kid can't stay still

I wonder why I can fall asleep but not stay asleep most nights...even with melatonin.

School. And my lack there of. Is always on mind.

My family back home. Lots of not good stuff is happening. Nothing that would alter or improve if I returned...but it makes me feel bad none the less...

My new home care client. She is end of life, but impossible not to love. I had my shift cancelled the other night because she was ill and needed familiar staff. It worried me that I would have been there and not known what she needed...

Some people come into your life for a reason...and they leave for no reason at all. I guess its all about making the best of time.

My tired brain thinks more than my rested one...

A lot of stuff going on in my brain these days...... My spouse and her declining health, my toxic job that I hate but need to pay our mortgage, family issues, the idea of bringing in a live-in caregiver to help me, learning how to relax and laugh again( I somehow forgot how to do this), etc etc. :confused::confused::confused:

I have a lot of things I want to do in my house. I have been living here for a year and I have done a few of them, including tearing out part of a wall. So much more to do still. Making this place more and more a reflection of who I am... one little bit at a time.

Gemme 01-23-2016 11:49 AM

I'm having flashbacks of last year's snowdemic. Hopefully, this will be our one and only storm for the winter. El Nino is helping but I might have to pull a fairy godmother wish out of my pocket too.

:vigil:

Chivalry and kindness are always welcomed and admired..It's so rare that I tend to worship (them) when i'm in their presence, just sayin:hk20:

Just wondering...I'm not from the land of any snow, blizzard, or drifts. But, this shoveling of walks, what if you went out and shoveled every two inches or so? Of course it would have to be daylight. But is that too much work, or just wait till it's over?

You're not taking into consideration the 40-75 mph winds, which besides being very cold and annoying, create drifting issues with the snow. It's good to break the shoveling down into smaller chunks for the absolutely mandatory areas, like pee and poo spots for pets that aren't newspaper or pee pad trained or in doorways, but you don't want to get your gear on every hour on the hour, which takes a while if you're dressing appropriately. That's a waste of energy and time. It's going to do what it's going to do. All you can really do is ride it out and try to get it cleaned up as soon as possible once the worst of it is over.

This storm brought wet, heavy snow. It was pretty initially but not fun to get out in. It's harder to manage than light, fluffy snow and there are a lot of folks out there that are not physically able to get out in it and shovel every hour. Shoveling is very hard on the system and because your body warms up so quickly doing it, people sometimes don't realize that they are not properly dressed/prepared for it until they are frostbit or in the beginning stages of a heart attack or hypothermia.

I think the death count is up to 27 or 29 now. That includes a mother and her 1 year old son dying from carbon monoxide because the snow covered her tailpipe as they were stuck in the car as well as several shoveling/heart attack and hypothermia deaths and deaths from car accidents.

Most snow isn't a big deal. But when you get into feet measurements instead of 6, 8, 10 inches, that all changes.

How sleep alludes me once again, when I really need a good nights sleep.

2 new eaglets were born about 2 weeks ago in Florida. All was well until yesterday when it looked like one of the babies caught their leg on something in the nest and was stuck.

As it is a wild nest, the wildlife people were contacted to evaluate the situation. They have concluded the baby's leg is not stuck but entangled in fishing line bought into the nest via food or by accident. The leg is very swollen and they cannot tell whether the babies attempts to free itself tightened the line or if the leg is broken.

They decided to get a bucket truck and attempt an in nest evaluation. The baby was removed from the nest and taken to the wildlife center for further care.

Waiting for the official word on the babys health is nerve wracking for me. One has to wonder how the parents are dealing with this.

The baby is getting his evaluation at the CROW clinic. The leg (left) is swollen to 3-4 times normal. Nothing broken. No internal injuries. Is being hydrated, fed (eats like a pig), and given antibiotics. Tomorrow when the swelling recedes, he will be tested for nerve damage.

Parents are still looking confused, searching, and hyper vigilant. Sibling looks a bit lost and lonely with no one to bonk heads with or steal food from.

Hopefully, all will go well and the baby will be returned to the nest soon.

Valentine's Day

Having to go through my storage unit tomorrow and dealing what that mess!

Hoping the people who I am selling my table and chairs to, show up tomorrow night!

Words can't describe all of the shit going on in my life right now. Stressed, anxious, frustrated, sad, and enraged all at once.

Yesterday's update on the lil guy was encouraging. The swelling in his leg has decreased immensely. Circulation to the leg, foot and toes is good.

He does have some evidence of nerve impairment in his toes i.e. doesnt know where his foot is. It is hoped with physical therapy and more treatment he will regain full sensation and functionality.

He needs to be able to feel and use his feet in order to be returned to the wild. Fully functioning feet are essential for his survival out there.

The parents are coping with his absence and focusing on the remaining sibling. Dad is busy restocking the pantry with fish, squirrel, and some stuff I cannot and probably do not want to identify.

The Mom still voices distress at times and remains hyper vigilant. Poor thing has lost one of her eaglets in each of the past 2 nesting seasons due to illness at 6 weeks. And her prior life mate was seriously injured last twice last year. He was successfully treated and rehabilitated by CROW the first time but succumbed to his injuries the second time.

The sibling has adopted a pine cone as a snuggle/cuddle buddy. Not as much fun to head butt and wing whack but it doesn't compete for food either.

The video link shows the update, the treatment, and part of the rescue.

Video update from CROW yesterday.

I'm wondering how the class I'm taking this weekend will go. I'm a bit nervous!

Yes, I am an eaglet freak. They posted the lil guys exam today. He is only 2 weeks old, so body control is not going to be his forte for a few more weeks.

E8 (#16-361) is bright and alert and continues to show signs of improvement. The eaglet continues to receive physical therapy and a warm pack on its feet 3 times a day to help reduce swelling. E8’s appetite is strong and is steadily gaining weight.
