Update: Ate some chips and a bowl of yogurt, finished another 3rd of my homework. It's just not getting any more interesting.
I have already mentioned to these people that I am not getting anymore of these damn Ultra-Slim Form Factor PCs. They suck. Its 2 a week now that I am having to get repaired. But anyways back to my incredibly awesome day. I came home found a golf club and radio there that I got off of ebay, then went to Pep Boys to get some 'no butt connectors' so I could hook up the wiring harness for my Honda. Then ate supper threw the old pigskin with my boy, then went to Freds and bought a 34.00 5.1 surround sound setup. (I know it is crap, but for 34.00 I can put it in my garage and not worry about fucking it up).
I told an old vet at the VA and his family that he has metastatic lung and liver cancer. Real nice guy and nice family. I admitted an 84 year old to the hospital that had melanoma that had spread to his lungs and skull and sinuses for hospice placement after his wife "dropped him off" at the hospital telling him he had an appointment. He has been around since wed. Apparently his wife could not put up with the "wandering around" he did at night outside. I put 60 yr on blood thinners (heparin drip then lovenox and coumadin) for bilateral pulmonary embolisms he also got a filter that cover his inferior vena cava (by deploying it after running it through a leg vein) to prevent clots from going into the right side of his heart and getting pumped out to the lungs. I ruled a guy out for a heart attack and diagnosed him with constipation instead due to chronic narcotic pain meds for back pain using an abdominal film. I bitched at some nurse about leaving our patients on oxygen when they don't need it instead of weaning them down off it.
Sounds like a shitty day. Then again, if you work at the VA every day's probably pretty shitty. Speaking of which, I went and visited my dad at the VA today. He's in there for systemic staph... I'm freaking out. He's old but he's not THAT old, and if he dies it will be so fucking out of the blue. The old guy is my personal hero, and my kids idolize him. Plus my stepdad died one week ago today, so I already feel I've had enough with the death. Then my husband and I and our friend Scott loaded a pile of concrete debris in the side yard into a drop box. I also cleared a lot of crap out of the basement. Now I'm baking a rhubarb pie, and in half an hour or so we're going to a friend's birthday party.
I love rhubarb pie. We had it growing at the edge of the garden as a kid. My mom made it from scratch but that was pre-4th grade when we lived far enough up North it grew wild there and game back every year. I had forgot all about it that sweet and tart flavor.
Rhubarb is one of my favorite things! I have a huge rhubarb clump in the garden... I brought a rhizome from my last house when we moved, and the clump at my last house grew from rhizomes a friend had brought over. Today I am making fig and rhubarb compote to serve over vanilla ice cream tonight.
Woke up fucked around in a chatroom for a couple of hours then walked the dogs had a bath a good size shit then smoked some weed whilst fucking around in a chatroom,then went to bed. Its hard to keep up with my jetset lifestyle thats why i dont come in here much any more i just can't seem to find the time.
Update: Drank a cup of tea, took some pictures, now getting ready to photoshop them. Later: Homework, visit my dad, go grocery shopping w/friend. O THE LIFE.
