robinsnestLets see highlight of the day has been weeding away at the flower beds and pulling out a clump of poison ivy. I am sometimes glad that nurses learn about taking things off carefully. I stripped off gloves, all clothing and shoes. I washed very well with soap and water and then added a layer of hydrocortisone for my psychosomatic itching. I've had one possible poison ivy rash in the past but I'd like to avoid finding out if I'm truly sensitive too it....I mean I'd be surprised if I wasn't as I have stupid sensitive skin that reacts to normal weeds. thus I wear gloves when I weed.
Otherwise things are fine. I'm officially a supervisor at work and the first thing I had to do was report someone for possible abuse. which now all her friends are claiming I made up...because THAT would be SO fun to do to myself. She's been rough around the edges with the kids a lot lately so I'm not sure how no one saw this coming. It's been a fun part of being promoted. *insert eyeroll* My last two shifts I actually had to work the floor due to being short staffed so it still feels much the same
I have a youtube video to edit or a blog post to write about my Edwardian-shirt-waist-in-a-day project. I'm pleased with how it came out but it makes me want to make another one in calico with a nice work skirt and apron and..I dunno shell peas? the whole end of the world has really brought out my Little House dreams of childhood. My sister just got chickens too, but Rob won't eat the eggs owing to his OCD so it seems silly to have chickens. Maybe a goat?
I'm kinda feeling stuck on the youtube editing because...It sounds vain but the person on that footage is not what the person in my head looks like and I find that really...hard? It's not like I wouldn't think it was lovely on a stranger, but all I see is 5 chins and 'what happened to my youth' 'where did all those wrinkles come from?' and in some really really really convoluted way it ties back to our fertility struggles and "well I'm an old lady now, guess this is what my life will always look like"
Lets trybrickhousewench 's five happy things
1. Rob is mowing the lawn. with his history of mental health struggles any time he can just do normal chores without it being a struggle for him I celebrate the victory
2. It's a beautiful cool breezy day as I write this on the patio
3. I'm not unemployed which such a huge swathe of humanity is
4. My beautiful niece turned FIVE yesterday which also means I've been a nurse 5 years.
5. It's memorial day and I haven't had to put the AC in yet! yay lower carbon footprint.
