Kilted

My version of dressed up. Went to the symphony last evening.



Sandy Waterfalls.

Thyroid

In bum bag and thyroid shield for an X-ray day.

Ripped

Went over to help build garden boxes for the new community garden in the little park by our house. Taught a woman older than me to use a drill and power screw driver, she said she'd never touched power tools before.

And learned again about Mignon Richmond, for whom the park was named. The marker at the park does not mention that she is a woman, just that it's named for the first African-American to graduate from a Utah University. Usually when there is no "female" designation, it means male. I'm not the only one. Worked with some young women at the garden build who told me this, so I learned today as well.

Fellow nurse asked me on Tuesday if only working 30 hours was just wonderful. I had to say that it was more that I felt able to cover my shifts and still seems like a bare necessity. Nothing feeling wonderful right now, just possible and improving.

Woke to both cats wanting to be snuggled, so I did my duty. Good thing I have two working hands. Eleanor gets pushy when Zeppo's getting petted and she isn't. As long as someone is scritching her, she's willing to share.

Denim

Sorting through cupboards and organizing. Life changes faster than my inclination to rearrange.

Scrubs

Today was very weird. Three physicians had surgery at our facility, none were... particularly beloved. One of our techs has a severe medical issue and was sent to the ER. I'm glad not to be there tomorrow.

Plaid

So, flask says there is a call for people to post their daily fashion.

Sure. Start with today, a federal holiday.
