Hi Everybody!

I got a new hair cut! Like mother like daughter, I guess. The top is the after picture, the bottom one is before. She straightened my hair out, thinned it (since I guess it is too thick) and took a whole lot of length off.


Meowzee was not a happy camper with this morning's attention on the only important part of the paper, the comics. Laughter is the best medicine. So he put himself in the middle of it all.




Now we know who really is the king around here!


At work, we have students. Lots of students. The girl on the left, above is the student who accomplished her first IV start. Funny how if you leave the tounaquet on it tends to bleed more. Hence the puddle of blood! The guy on the right is one of my alltime new favorite doctors. He gets extra double bonus points for subjecting his juicy veins to the attempts of a nursing student. She got it though. Jamie, the doctor, refused to wash the blood off his hand before he had a little fun with it, claiming he was attacked by a patient, or that he TOTALLY missed doing an arterial blood stick, whatever new funny story he could think up whenever he saw a new doctor or nurse in sight. We have entirely too much fun at work sometimes. I hope his wife does not see this. She is a doctor as well, and as Jamie tells it, would be very jealous that someone else got to stick him, since he won't let her! Mind you, she doesn't want to just practice with IVs, she wants to put in central lines. (Think neck veins....) I don't blame him!






We had another birthday at work. 2 actually. 1 was the patients, and one was our staff's. So another round of birthday fun. The banner was made by the nursing student in the previous picture. The crown was my own. It just so happened that I had birthday confetti in the car (things like this happen...) so we embelished!




Here's some of the wonderful staff I work with. It is sooooo good to be me! New haircut and all.

Now that is a different look, and I like it! Change is good! I will miss your thick red mane, but the way you grow hair so fast you can tinker with looks without worrying about grow back time.

Ya, I can't say I'd be stepping up to the volunteer plate to have a central line. Yikes. What is the US' take on central lines? I know in Canada we have specially trained RNs who can do peripheral central lines (PICC lines). I'd love to do that when I grad!

Anyway, love the new do. It's very flattering.

Your new hair cut looks really good. It suits you and will probably dry much quicker I think.
