Something I was thinking about this morning.

Cora Crawley, the Countess of Grantham, from Downton Abbey would have been a teenager at the same time the Gilded Age is taking place. And she would have been living in New York. I would SO LOVE to see a little cameo of a young Cora. It would be such a fun crossover.

Why do I have to fight the doctors?

Just finished a really rough one. Spent literally 9 hours battling with a group of residents to get my patient appropriate care. Attending finally came up and took the patient to emergency surgery immediately. sigh

Thinking I’ve found a successful routine?

Ok. So idk if I’m wavy or starting to cross the line into curly, but things seem to be working out for me (this week at least).

Routine: wash 2-3 times a week. Suave clarifying shampoo and either Maui Moisture Lightweight Curls conditioner or Mielle Kalahari Melon and Aloe Vera deep conditioning mask (only once a week for this). I apply conditioner and detangle with a wide tooth comb upside down. Support/scrunch with cool water to rinse. Apply Mielle curl forming glaze to dripping wet hair with praying hands. Gentle shake my hair upside down to form clumps then scrunch with a t-shirt to remove some water and plop for 10-ish min. Scrunch in a couple pumps of Design Essentials Almond and Avocado mousse and air dry.

What do you think? Is it looking decent at least?

Last night on nights

I’m switching to days on my current unit and tonight was my last night shift. I just said goodbye to everyone and got hugs and definitely cried. Which is ridiculous considering I’m coming back at 7 am to be charge on day shift literally tomorrow morning 😂 but I can’t help but feel sad even though I am excited to move to day shift.

Getting the husband a cart for his birthday. Which one?

Basically the title. He has a small Zuca cart right now that doesn’t always cut it. I got him a Grip EQ bag to go with this cart. Anyone who has tried either or both, what did you like/dislike? Any advice on which way I should go?

Update: decided on the Bagboy, I really appreciate all the feedback!

To those saying you only need 3 or 4 discs, fine. But no one asked that, so maybe keep scrolling? We have dozens of courses nearby and regularly play courses we’ve never seen before. It’s nice to have a variety of discs to choose from.

To those saying to let him choose, this is something I know he wants but would never ever buy for himself because he’s too selfless. We also play together multiple times a week and I know what he likes. 😉 So I’m getting it 🤷‍♀️

When did you go in??

I’ve had problems with my gallbladder since my first child was born almost 20 years ago. I was evaluated at that time but couldn’t get any doctor to do any kind of treatment. I’ve been having attacks more frequently lately (I feel like it’s been about 4 months, since I’ve been dieting and trying to lose weight). I’m having a pretty bad one right now (sharp, shooting pain under my right ribs, making hard to stand up straight and impossible to get a deep death) and trying to decide how bad it needs to be before going to urgent care or the ED. I’m a nurse and a woman and am crippling myself with doubt.

Patterns for a beginning beginner??

I’m not new to knitting, I’ve been knitting for many years, but brand new to socks! Also a little neurospicy. I have bought and tried five different sock patterns at this point that are supposed to be for beginners but I am really struggling. I need a pattern that has very concrete instructions and stitch counts. Several of the ones I’ve seen have things like, “continue this pattern until the cuff is long enough” or “begin the heel flap” 🫪🫪🫪 I cannot with this. I would also prefer either photos or a linked video. Gold star if it’s for worsted weight yarn since that’s what I currently have. What can you recommend?? Photo of attempt number I-don’t-even-know-because-I’ve-had-to-frog-so-many-times.

Found an Easter Egg in Epic

I’m charge nurse on my unit tonight and was running audits. I click one and a progress bar appeared. For a split second, instead of saying “preparing to run” or “running” it said “reticulating splines”. I laughed out loud. I’ve played The Sims for over 20 years and it was irrationally funny and adorable to find this tiny bit of whimsy in Epic tonight lol.
