New nurses uniforms

by The Diva

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.

I think it’s time to use the Elliptical Machine again

by The Diva

I think it was about four years ago when I bought my elliptical machine. I used it for a while when I first got it, but I started to feel ill (I’m home with a chronic illness) and I had to stop using it for a while. Unfortunately … a while stretched into several years and here I am just getting around to thinking about using it again.

Funny how time flies isn’t it?

The machine is up in one of our spare bedrooms and it’s a big heavy thing. I had to haul it into the right position just so I could use it again. Then … I couldn’t remember just exactly what all the buttons and knobs were for so I went searching for the manual. Luckily I do keep most of the instructions of gadgets and machinery that we buy in one place so it was fairly easy to find. Now I just have to find a few minutes to sit down with the manual so I can learn more about how to use the elliptical to my best advantage.

Actually if I can find some time tomorrow to read the manual again then maybe I can start using the elliptical on Monday … you know, start at the beginning of the week. Even if I only use it two or three times a week that will be better that what I’ve been doing!

Do you have an Elliptical machine or other exercise equipment in your house that you really haven’t been using?

Time to get out the Christmas Decorations?

by The Diva

We got our first real snow fall here in Toronto this week. I guess we have a few inches of snow on the ground and we expect more to come before the week is over. I guess we’re lucky compared to some areas near us who happened to get several feet of snow!

I think the snow actually made me have a bit of the Christmas spirit earlier today. We haven’t decorated the house for Christmas for about 6 years, but earlier today I seriously thought about pulling out our Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, the garland, lights, and of course our Christmas wreath.

Who knows .. maybe this weekend I’ll dig out all of our decorations and start putting some of them up. It’s been years since we’ve decorated so it would be a big change, but a nice one if we do it.
