I am a critical care nurse, a travel nurse, a travel lover, a dog lover, a dog mom, an introvert (although at work, you'd guess I am extroverted), an empath, an INFJ, a truth seeker, a dreamer, a deeply serious soul with a wicked sense of humor, an aunt, a friend, a daughter, and a sister. These are my thoughts and experiences about nursing and life. I have changed quite a bit since starting this blog, but to honor where I have been and where I am going I have kept all my entries whether or not they are memories that I want to keep. My goal in life is to obtain inner peace, be the change, and mostly to be a beautiful soul! Namaste, my friends!!

The jerk

My dog is a jerk. He expresses his displeasure at being left home alone in destructive ways. This is just his latest episode. 
He is the reason I don't own nice things. Punk. 

It's 8 am...

This dog does not believe in sleeping in for the human. Darn it. Good thing he's cute!

Go away

I don't know if these are gray hairs or blonde popping up on my head, but either way, I don't appreciate it. I'm not THAT old yet. I feel like I'm about 102, but I'm not quite over the hill yet.

Letter to ICU patient's families

I shared this on FB today, but I LOVE this article. It's so true. We all have morbid senses of humor and laugh at inappropriate things because If we didn't laugh we'd cry and we couldn't function. http://www.savortheessenceoflife.com/2014/01/12/a-letter-to-the-family-of-my-icu-patient/

This is Baxter.

He is my puppy. My best friend. The love of my life. He is also the biggest reason I have made it through the last year, the worst of my life. I thank God everyday that he is letting me share this beautiful soul for the time being.

Thank you, insomnia...

...because I totally wanted to fold my laundry at 3am and listen to the ridiculous amount of sirens on the highway. Is it really necessary for everyone to use their siren at 3am? I guess it is. Well I sincerely hope everyone is ok, someone is clearly having a worse night than me.

I miss blogging and I think I am hilarious so maybe I'll start writing down my hilarious thoughts and experiences again. Guess it doesn't matter if anyone else reads this or thinks I'm funny. It's not for you, it's therapeutic for me. Right?! Oh wait, if I don't care what anyone else thinks, I shouldn't ask for opinions and say things like "right?!", well I'm not very good at following the rules all the time so I'll do whatever I please cause this is my blog. Maybe I'm just asking the universe for opinions. Maybe someday it'll answer.

Coolest. Invention. Ever.


I want one. Except not in pink. GAG, I HATE pink. Still, the coolest invention ever. Period.
Why you may ask do I want one. I will tell you:
Reminds me of being a kid again with footie PJ's. Nice and cozy. Warm. It's got thumb holes (love thumb holes, they make it comfier). Besides, just like they said "its like a big hug, you can wear." Who can beat that?! It's got pockets, and a hood. Unlike a Snuggie (which I already have) this wraps all the way around you and doesn't fall off and it doesn't leave room for cold air to come in. Unlike pants and socks and shirts these don't ride up, squish down, or fall off. I'm cold blooded (that's a story for another blog though), what can I say, I NEED this. Just not in pink.
