Oh No You Did Not

I'm a nurse

I get it, y'all are irritated with us and everything that is going on in your bubble of a world....

Covid

Masks

Low staffed restaurants

Seriously...

we are doing our godamn bests...

so it makes no sense for people to be dicks to us or anyone in the medical field right now.

Zip...

Zero...

Nadda...

After 2.5 years you KNOW you need to don a mask...

and yes you can put your classy

"This mask does nothing"

mask on and I may shake my head...

but you know...

in your self centered head...

 you need to put it on to get service...

here, at restaurants, hospitals, clinics, Target, Walmart 

all of it...

and

If ya pull your mask down to sneeze or cough in my face, 

Yes I am going to say something.

If you throw your ID and attitude at the young girl checking you in ....

You can be sure she is going to come back, tell me, and I'm gonna remember

yeah...I am

So, get your shit together and be nice to us.

You get to go home and take your mask off and cop an attitude at home and tell everyone what bitches us nurses are...

and we just keep smiling and reminding you to get a booster, wash your filthy hands, and wear a mask if you need to stand in line at the bottom of the Vail Chair Lift on a Saturday with 30k other people.

and yes this is Vail last weekend 

so tell me none of these people

got Covid

Think about it

Plants are the New Black and how to make cute OUI Jar Plant Things

Has it really been 3 months? 

Apparently. 

I haven't been on here much. I have been writing a wee bit. 

I write for a nature /eco blog ( kind of like ghost writing) once in a while, but I certainly haven't been writing anything fabulous.

So, in-between relentlessly showing up to work to fight COVID, 

which, 

by the way,

I am so over, 

I sometimes piddle around with rescued plants and come up with ridiculous DIY things.

My thrifty self started eating OUI yogurt. I love the little glass jars and I also love the price when it goes on clearance at King Soopers for 79 cents. I haven't died of food poisoning yet, so I keep eating it.

Then I made these little hanging jars with Pothos in them.

there you have it 

Little hanging jars....

If I remember, I'll repost when they grow.

It will be like paint drying.

I have a list of other boring things I hope to accomplish.

Like...

figure out what this is growing in this pot.

Is it something I planted last summer or is it a magic gift from the plant goddess?

I'm sure it is probably a weed.

I'll keep everyone posted on that too.

Then I got this cool Crassula Ovata,

or as I call 

big assed leaf jade plant.

See how crafty? I put little twinkle lights in it.

cute huh?

I ran 2 miles, which I was really happy about because my foot actually didn't hurt...

My entire body did hurt though, because I am out of shape.

I taught Olive how to drive a stick shift, which nearly killed us both.  She tried to kill me with angry attitude and refusal to try anything new and I about killed me by trying to stay positive.

Took 3 weeks, but I think she has it.

Went on a hike

Button Rock Dam

It was lovely.

I cut off all my hair.

Is that a sign of something

I won't say 2022 is going to be my year, but I'm gonna give it my half ass attempt.

I think what I really need to do is make a vision board and get some therapy.

I giving myself 5 more days of January to get my shit together,

then I'm putting on my damn party dress and moving along.

write ya later
