Holiday?

Why would a manager go in on a holiday if she wasn't on call? ...Because the boys are gone. My ex keeps the boys on Monday Holidays if the preceding weekend was his weekend. I had already been alone all weekend, I wanted to go in and get some stuff done. It is always easier to get stuff done either after 3pm or when other managers are not there.

So, what did I do?

• Updated our patient satisfaction boards on both units (Dern CMS publishing our scores.)

• Updated the Rapid Response board. It had not been done since our previous manager. (Yes, I suck.)

• Titled our new Critical Care Collaborative Practice board. Maybe the CM will get some info on it now.

You know... it really seemed like more.

I did have somewhat of a productive weekend. I went and saw the new Indy movie. I enjoyed it for what it was. Bought new sheets for my bed. You can not beat Egyptian cotton sheets. And, I scrubbed my tub and sink this morning. So much better.

I have lots to get done this week as I leave on Sunday for the Beach! (I know you are jealous.)

• Get the new core schedule done for July and set up available shifts in BidShift.
• Finish the updated manager weekend call schedule. I think I will just get it done until late September, then I can add the newbies.
• Have staff meetings and buy everyone lunch.

I know there must be more...

Happy Memorial Day.

I was an eyeborw waxing virgin.

I somehow let the lady who gave me a pedicure and was doing my nails talk me into waxing my eyebrows.

I wasn't so sure at first. I'm not really good with pain and such... I have to sit down when I get my flu shot. I was not much better at my last TB skin test. I am basically a wuss.

She put on the hot wax, applied the paper (or whatever it was. I had my eyes closed.), and pulled. It hurt. It burned. It wasn't so bad.

I now have lovely shaped eyebrows (not quite as nice as the picture. Imagine a lighter brown eyebrow with green eyes). I think they are kind of light on the ends. I may need an eyebrow pencil.
