A musical day at the hospital

by

My husband works at the hospital that’s just down the street from our house and every year the hospital happens to put on an annual Christmas show. My husband, being a very talented musician almost always participates in the musical part of the show.

So for the last two months or so he’s been pulling out one of his gibson guitars and practicing with several other people from work – doctors, nurses and other hospital workers on a few songs that they planned to perform at the Christmas show.

I had thought the show was going to be on Thursday and I was going to go to it, but it was actually today! My husband came home from work this evening and told me all about it. He said everyone seemed enjoy their performance and that someone was video taping so I might be able to catch some of it on the hospitals website.

Kick start the old laptop

by

I have an old HP laptop and I don’t use it very often these days, but the other day I decided to turn it on – you know, to let it update itself and so on and I think it needs a new battery.

Actually it’s very old it needs a lot of things but the least I can do for it is take a look for some hp batteries and see if I can find one that works for that model.

I’d actually love to do an upgrade on that laptop and get it working properly again so I’d have two laptops that I could truly count on, but as I said that laptop that I’m talking about is kind of old and I’m not sure that it’s worth putting too much into it. Hmmm maybe Santa will bring me a new laptop?

New nurses uniforms

by

I’ve been on medical leave from my job as nurse in the emergency department of a nearby hospital for a few years and I’m hoping to go back to work sometime in the near future. I say hoping – hopefully. I don’t know if I’m really able to go back just yet, but I’d like to and well frankly I may have to … so with that in mind I’ve been doing things like trying to see if I really am ready to get back to work and two browsing around for nursing uniforms etc.

While I was looking around online I came across some uniforms that I kind of like at Marcus nurses uniforms. Certainly if I do start back to work I’ll need some new uniforms so I’m sure I’ll buy a few new uniforms.

Have you ever had to take a medical leave from work for a long period of time and then had trouble getting back to work again? That seems to be what I’m going through. I’m still sick, but I think it would be a good think if I could go back to work … however working in the emergency department might be too much for me, I might just have to face up to that.

Time to finish my Christmas shopping

by

I have to go out Christmas shopping this weekend. I’ve got a little bit of my shopping done, but not all of it – not even close!

I should have actually done some Christmas shopping last weekend. I met with several of my family members on Sunday at a restaurant in a large mall here in Toronto – Yorkdale mall and then a few of us did walk around a few stores. I didn’t buy anything, but considering we were in such a huge mall it would have been a great opportunity.

Hmmm Now that I think about it, I saw some justin boots that might make a great gift for my brother. Perhaps I should go back to that mall this weekend? Anyway wherever I go I must shop shop shop and shop some more.

It would be great to get everything on my list. I hate shopping in the week or two just before Christmas when the stores are really crowded. It’s just crazy in the stores. Actually I suppose tomorrow will be crazy in all the stores in the United States considering it’s Black Friday.

How are you doing with your holiday shopping? Are you done? Have you started? Are you dreading shopping?

Too skinny?

by

Over the last month or so I’ve noticed that my husband has lost quite a bit of weight. Not that he really needed to lose weight. Oh sure just about everyone can stand to lose five or ten pounds, but about a month ago I started thinking .. geez he’s getting pretty skinny … I started to get worried that he was losing too much weight.

It’s not like he’s been trying to lose weight or that’s he’s found the best weight loss pill ever or anything … I think he’s just been walking a lot more lately and just eating a little less. Nothing too drastic – but it suddenly started to show – fast.

We were in a store earlier today and someone that worked with my husband at the hospital but hadn’t seen him in a while came up to us and made a big deal out of how skinny my husband looked. He actually said it made my husband look older … maybe that will make him eat a bit more? LOL

Anyway .. hopefully my husband doesn’t keep losing weight or I’m going to think something is seriously wrong with him.
