Rainy Day

Busy, Busy, Terribly Busy

 Sorry, right now I am rocking from side to side because of the title of this post. Here’s why: I grew up watching Veggie Tales. We watched it throughout the week, and on Sundays Kirst and I watched Veggie Tales and played Barbies or baby dolls while Mom and Dad napped. One of the Veggie Takes has a song that had lyrics with “busy, busy, terribly busy. Much, much too busy for you.” Now the last part of that lyric makes me feel sad, but with the time it’s to, you can’t help but sway. Basically, my inner 5 year old is coming out.
  Anyway, back story aside, things have been crazy busy this week. At first, it was overwhelming busy, but now I think it’s starting to switch from that overwhelming, drowning busyness to the good, purposeful busy. I’ll probably change my mind on that as the date of our first quiz draws nearer, but that’s ok. Ups and downs in this life just means I’m alive!
  I’m enjoying the information from class. It’s building on s few things I learned in medic school. The rest is either new or vaguely familiar. Regardless, I’m starting to understand certain disease processes better already, so that’s cool. And I’m better understanding how part of the body works, so, all in all, it’s good. Going too fast for my comfort, but good. Next week is C Day (Cat dissection day), so that part I’m not looking forward to. If I can block out that it’s a little kitty cat, kinda like I do on certain calls (I know, dehumanization sounds terrible, but it’s necessary to do what we do, and handle what we have to handle at times), I think I’ll be ok. The stuff our instructor will teach us will be cool at least.
  I’m back at work now. It’s been busy off and on. We’ve ran  2 PRCs, an E call that went to Big City, and a football game so far. It wouldn’t be so bad, but we kept running out of trucks all at once! I also spent a loooooong time QAing reports. I think I sent 80 some through, which is a lot. I did get some studying in though!!!!!
  Daisy got spayed yesterday. She seems to be doing good with it today. Well, at least this morning before I left. Family says she’s been mostly good today.

                                                    
                                               

(She was a little high in this one) ;)

                                                

No stitching progress to report. Hopefully, that will change soon, but I’m not holding my breath on it.

Well, I’m really tired from this week. Last shift we didn’t go to sleep until 5 am, and going to class on 2 hours of sleep was interesting. I retained a lot more than I expected to that day, so that was awesomely encouraging!!! I guess I’ll start getting ready for bed. Maybe an early bedtime tonight will help me study better tomorrow!
 Thank youns for reading. Know that I think of youns often and love hearing from/about youns. Take care and have fun!
 Happy Stitching/studying,

Puppies!

So, I thought I should show youns pictures of a couple of happy puppies when Kirst and I walked them on Friday. First up, Banjo!

The second picture is after we returned home from the walk.

Here's Sadie, post walk:

Guinea Pig went as well, but I guess I didn't get a picture of him.  

 Happy Sunday everyone!

Hiyah folks!

 Well, things have been hopping here; how are all of you doing? Since its been a week, give or take a day or two, since I last posted, there is quite a bit to catch youns up on.
 First of all, stitchy news:

The stitching has been coming along nicely. I've not had as much time to work on it as I would like to most days, but then I'm sure that all of us stitchers feel that way! ;)

 Next up, is the double rainbow my sister and I saw yesterday:

 I guess that whole pot of gold-at-the-end-of-rainbow legend isn't true. Apparently its cows at the end of the rainbow!

On a smilar note, here are a few pictures of the sky that I took during the walk with Banjo:

 Some of the cows even posed for the pictures. Gotta love a interactive audience!

 Third of all, I honestly don't remember if I mentioned it here or not, but I will be going to back to school on Monday. To be perfectly honest, I feel much too old to be going back to school ;), but it is what it is. At least I (hopefully) won't be scared of my teacher like I was a year or two of elementary school! It won't mean that many changes for youns, just the possibility of posts less frequently and a high probability of less stitching progress to report. My class is Mon-Thurs, and I will still be working my usual shifts, minus the hours before, during, and driving from school, so life is probably going to be pretty busy for a while. On the up side, the nerdy part of me is excited about the upcoming new knowledge. The stitchy part of me is dreading the decrease in free time. Ah well, it will be good and worth it in the end. :) 

 Well, I guess I should be going now. Today has been a longish day at work, and who ever is up for call at 6 tonight has to go to the drunk festival and stay until midnight. Guess what no one wants to do? Here's hoping that everyone has a good day and that it rains tonight (if no one goes, we won't have to stay!!!!).

 Happy stitching!

I was going to do stuff today, but...

Do you want to build a snowman?

The thermostat says that it is 68F here in the station, but I don't believe it. Not one bit! That is it’s usual setting, which while cool, is balmy compared to how it feels now. I am waiting for snow to spontaneously burst from the air. It should happen any time now. If it does, do you want to come build a snowman with me?

 Happy Stitching and snowman constructing,

 Emmy

Monday

 Here’s hoping it’s a good work day/night for everyone!

Here’s where I left off

last night. I missed a stitch somewhere. I’m planning on just going with it. Or adding another stitch somewhere. We shall see. :)

‘Scuse the hoop marks please.
Here’s how I feel right now:

Hoping you and yours have a wonderful day!

Peace and Progress

Well, here’s my current progress:

I’m really enjoying this one. There’s something incredibly calming and peaceful about stitching on a Sampler with a church. Like most folks, there are a lot of unknowns and plenty of choices I have to make. There will likely be some big changes in my life on down the road  based on my decisions now. Stitching this reminds me that God is in control, and even more so when I feel like everything is out of control. As long as I am seeking His will in it all, He will guide me, even when it feels like I made a wrong turn. I hope that all of you are doing well, and that He brings peace and calm to your chaos as well.

 Happy Stitching, 

 Emmy
