Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, The Priate Life For Me

My pirate name is:
Iron Morgan Rackham

A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Thanks to Mielikki for the site, it was/is great fun . . .
Should I change it to Morgana? Naw . . . . .

Here be a Dragon

As promised to Bubblewench, here is one of my Dragons. This one is rather, well, let's just say he has a healthy ego. He would like to think that he keeps the fairies in order . . .

If Old Habits Die Hard, Are New Ones Difficult to Start?

I am desperately trying to start a new habit . . . walking. I walked one mile yesterday in 15-20 minutes. Surprisingly I was more sore yesterday afternoon than I am today. Today my biggest concern is getting myself in gear to walk again. Sigh . . . . there are soooo many things I wish to accomplish today and they are all vying for my time. I did start dinner though (I love my crock-pot)
I know . . . I need to walk.
See, if I share this with all of you then I will be held accountable, right?
This afternoon (early part) though I want to write, perhaps a nice brisk walk a little later . . . .

My On Call Fairy

Her she is, in all her glory! My On-Call Farie! Pooka's and Wee People Beware . . . . Or I will down load my Dragon!

Of Nursing and Fairies

As I mentioned on Mielikki's blog . . . On-Call Fairies areworth their weight in gold.Were we work the wee people, fairies, or the "fae" can be found when least expected. You know how when ever you wash and dry socks, there is always one (or more)sock(s) missing? Even when you know you put them in the drier!? Well, those same mischievious wee people will go into a patient's room and tangle them up in the cardiac monitor lines, oxygen tubing, and IV lines/tubing. The poor patient is laying there, minding their own business (some are unconcious or sedated and can't move!), and you go back in after seeing to their needs and you guessed it, all tangled up.
There are moments though were they redeem themselves, that odd hinky feeling you get when something is wrong and you find yourself moved to double check your medications or check on the patient just one last time . . . always, always, trust your gut (and the fairies) no matter how odd or crazy your co-workers may think you are.
At the moment I am trying to post her picture . . . . but being in "Blog-land" the powers that be are not letting me add the picture . . . but I intend to prevail! (Pooka's, Wee People, and Fairies permitting.)

You Think I Should Do What?

By way of following the advice of a trusted friend I am venturing out into the land of the "B-L-O-G." I have been encouraged to start a blog because it is, "a good way to write everyday," and the ever popular, "self-expression," especially with the trials and tribulations at work. (Yes I too am one of those crazy people, a nurse.)So, following the advice of my close friend and stalwart companion, (and co-worker, Mielikki) I write as the Mischief to her Mayhem . . . . (story for another time).So this is my first foray . . . here goes nothing . . . .

The Blog Formerly Known As "Around the Bend"

Okay . . . Welcome to Blog-land where you too can be driven daft. Sigh . . . I created this blog at the kind suggestion of a dear (misguided?) friend. All the ususal reasons were listed, some logical, creative, and others practical. Well, that is all well and good but I spent a bloody stinkin day trying to re-access the blog after I created it.
In this world where everything requires a "password" and "username" I have reached my limit (at least for this weekend). I must have forgotten my password from the seemingly thousands that I must remember. My work alone requires 4 while my on-line banking requires 2. Then there are the myriad of websites, e-mail addresses, and software that all require some means of "password" for access. Like a chatelaine with too many keys I wander about weighted down with all the passwords until my memory is found wanting.
Anyhow . . . . I now have a 2 blog-sites. One I can not access, and this one, which I hope to be able to access tomorrow and the next day as well.
Sorry for all the blathering . . . I will try and quit my complaining, really I will!
