So a quick story time. I went in yesterday for my shot, and was chatting with the young, nice and cute nurse while she prepped the shot. I’d mentioned I was going to hang with my 7 week old granddaughter between appointments. In that conversation, I learned that she didn’t have her own kids, but she’d been a nanny for years since she was 13. I don’t know all her history of why she was working at 13, but here’s the kicker for me: Her last family had five (5!) kids with a set of newborn twins! She did overnight work, so she got the whole experience of taking care of twin newborns + three siblings.
And then she became an RN.
Of course, all I could think was she needs to be a heroine in a romance. Also, she was a really nice nurse who made the awkward experience of getting shots in my backside bearable, so I might just really like her for that 
How’s your day going?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween a day early and Happy Birthday to Only! 🎃👻🦇🐺
Wow! That young woman’s picture should appear in the dictionary right next to the definition of “caregiver.”!!!
My day is okay. It’s overcast with a promise of rain tonight. Considering we had 65 wildfires across the state yesteray alone, it’ll be a blessing. Stormy is still under the weather. Baseball Boy took the day off yesterday to stay home with him but we have him today. Monday, his fever spiked at 103 so BB hit the urgent care on the way home. Fever finally broke but he’s still coughing and is just tired out and achy. I’m having to bug him about drinking and getting ready to start in on food. I am soooo not his favorite person at the moment.
Other than that, s’all good. I’m doing laundry and sorting through stuff on the computer to clean out some files while contemplating which project to hit next. Fun times.
Have a great Hump Day! And 🤞🏼 on all the med tests!

Wow! That RN really took on a huge responsibility before becoming a nurse. My guess is nursing is more relaxing 😉. She does sound like she’d make a great character in a novel.
I hope you got to spend awake time with your granddaughter. How long will you stay away from the kids?
Have fun looking out at all the trick or treaters tomorrow🎃🧙👻.
