Shameless self-promotion

Filed under: Blathering — DeAnna @ 11:33 pm

Two more years…
In two years, I will graduate from the ADN program at my local community college. I will be looking for a home care/hospice agency that is suited to my goals and my ideals of patient care.
Does that sound a bit arrogant? Not at all. I have worked very hard to be the best [...]

Another chance to give thanks.

Filed under: Musings — DeAnna @ 5:38 pm

Once again, Thanksgiving approaches. A day set aside to reflect on those things for which we should be grateful, it is one of my favorite holidays. No, not for the mounds of food, much of which is traditionally prepared at my own hand these past several years, but rather for the fact that is a [...]

Where the Wild Things Play

Filed under: Musings — DeAnna @ 1:12 pm

I stumbled across a well-meaning website dealing with feral cats. Their message was this - neuter the cats and return them to the wild because feral cats are not happy coexisting indoors with humans. While that may be good advice in general, it is not always the case.
Chuckling to myself, I turn to Paige, who [...]

The Pain of Saying Goodbye

Filed under: From the Heart — DeAnna @ 4:29 pm

This past week had been a rough one. Our eldest, Katie Scarlett, an almost-fourteen year old mostly Golden Retriever mix had been rapidly going down hill. She was losing the use of her back legs and we believe much of the sensation in her lower body. Then on Wednesday I came home to find blood [...]

False advertising

Filed under: Rants — DeAnna @ 10:22 pm

I have decided that I am not going to buy any more of this particular brand of frozen meals. Weight Watcher’s “Smart Ones” - they think they are smart because they fool the consumer with enticing pictures when in reality the box nowhere resembles the fare inside. Earlier I had the Spicy Szechaun Style Vegetables [...]

Someone stole my dog…

Filed under: Blathering — DeAnna @ 11:47 am

…and put this well behaved little doppleganger in his place.  I am sure of it.
Riley was one of our problem children.  A nearly full grown pup when we rescued him from a convenience store parking lot, he had a lot of bad habits.  He resisted all efforts to housebreak him.  Instead of using the ‘puppy [...]

Hard Lessons and Baby Steps

Filed under: Blathering — DeAnna @ 6:31 am

…and when you are old…. you will stretch forth your hands and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go…
What a tenuous hold on life we all really have. Life is precious yet oh so fragile. We can be vibrant and full of life at one moment, and [...]

Stresses - good and bad

Filed under: Blathering — DeAnna @ 12:02 am

Stress is a situation that activates your sympathetic nervous system. Anything that puts you in fight or flight mode can be considered stress. But did you know that things like  surprise, and elation can be ’stress’? Sometimes you get a mixed bag - some bad, some good.
That is where I stand right now. Finals are [...]

Why does it seem so hard to understand…

Filed under: Musings — DeAnna @ 12:38 am

Why do people have such a hard time understanding how a person can love more than one single person.  If you have five children, you don’t just pick one and say “I will love you.  Sorry, the rest of you.” You love more than one grandparent. You love more than one parent. Love (not lust) [...]

Where is the line…

Filed under: Musings — DeAnna @ 12:55 pm

Where is the line between sanity and chaos. At what point does a person’s natural process of analyzing their behaviour and the behaviours of others in relationship to themselves move from being logically considerate to being paranoid? Is it possible to try to understand your relationships with others without driving yourself to the edge of [...]
