Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #179: Crisp Autumn Weather, Football, and Hockey

So, I planned to take a half day tomorrow. It's my birthday and my friend, with whom I'm going out after work to hottie bartender's place, asked me a month ago about going for manicures in the afternoon. I put it on my calendar. I worked all weekend so this will be comp time. My boss has been in Seattle all week and was supposed to be flying home tomorrow.

Last night my boss texts me to say she's coming home today and will be in Thursday. Kinda worried she's going to ask me to do something to not let me leave early. Then my friend texts me. Her 3-yr old is sick, she is taking him to the dr today and may need to cancel our manicures. I tell her as long as she can still make drinks and dinner later not to worry.

Was just about to ask you all if I should still take the 1/2 day and she just texted me her husband will watch the kid so she can make it for our manicures-yay!

One more day.

Despite the rainy weather, Friday should be a fun time at Surly. Putting the details together with bbdl (grilling, canopy, and such). Also trying to work out a trade for a rarer beer with some random. *crossfingers*

Tis true, I've seen it elsewhere on other forums. It gets harder to keep fresh posters coming in onto the forums and sticking around. Too many people just wanna use Twitter and be a part of the howling masses, instead of building their own unique little tribe online.

Been a tough week on the body - dancing for hours at the wedding over the weekend and rolling some large pts at work. Looking forward to the hot tub tomorrow - question is: do I go in before my nap or after I go out to lunch with a friend (aka after nap)? Right trap is bothering me something fierce. Think that I might actually start doing some weight training to help with stresses of lugging these pts (has never really been a problem before).

The hot tub will naturally relax you, and if you want to nap, that will help with the cause. Use that info as you see fit.

Nurses, especially floor nurses are probably some of the most beat up athletes out there. They forget to take care of themselves nursing is very taxing on the body, both physically and mentally. On your feet all day, lifting patients, being asked to do 14 different things at once, and lets not forget that wonderful stresser of somebody trying to shuffle lose from the mortal coil. Necks, shoulders, lower backs, and legs are all issues for nursing if they don't take care of themselves. I would suggest you think about doing some yoga as well to whatever exercise program you elect to do. Helps keep you flexible, makes you stay in tune with your body, and probably the biggest thing for you is just that time to allow your brain the chance to relax.

Keep it hot enough, won't happen. Back in my hot-tubbin' days, it was 105-106 or so. Yeah, toasty.

It's the one that belongs to our complex. It's pretty warm, I'm not toooooo worried, it's just a back of my mind concern as I relax.

I think I'll print this out and put it in my car. I'm not great at exercising and my weight, of late, is headed in the wrong direction after maintaining the same weight for about 2 years. Now that I'm on the floor instead of in ED, I definitely feel the ache more than I did at my last place - we do more lifting and pushing than I ever did elsewhere. Yoga is probably not a bad idea - the hubs used to recommend it to help wind down before sleep as (until this job) I have been a terrible sleeper. Of course, I didn't listen, but maybe I'll take it under advisement. I was thinking to myself that I would need to do some strenght training today, even before coming in as I'm just sore - not hurt, just achy. I'm wearing compression sleeves to help fight the leg swell (especially now that I work nights).

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #179: Crisp Autumn Weather, Football, and Hockey

Drunken adults aren't nearly as much fun as drunken college students.

I was about to go to bed, a couple minutes from muting my phone for the night, and then it rings. "Hello, Mr. [Clown]? This is the Apple Valley Police Department, we're here at your brother [Dip sh**]'s house." And it went on from there. There was a domestic situation about which my brother couldn't make clear, so my brother slept on my recliner and I didn't get to sleep at all because he snores like a freight train. I just took him home so he could go to work and now I'm going to bed. Called into work, told the boss I didn't get any sleep and would likely fall asleep at my desk.

Good night, Lodge.

I do what I do after I blew out my subscapularis, rhomboids and traps lifting someone (Correct technique, with help). If you ache at rest- ICE!! heat will extend the injury. If you use heat, ice afterward
Monster is correct. Add to that the hours you have to spend on the computer hunched over charting and it is a recipe for disaster.

Not sleeping either. A lot of cogitating :(
