FINISH(ish)!!!!!!!


 Sorry, it’s not the best picture! The cross stitching is done, but there is much left to do for this one! Also, I’m sorry for the ridiculously early morning post. I have a night shift tonight, which means I’m switching to a night schedule at the moment. Which is sad. 

  Happy Stitching, and if you’re asleep, know that I’m jealous and living vicariously through you!

The Case of the Disappearing Ears

 


I made Nala so mad, that her ears fell off!!!! Now I gotta figure out where they went, and how to reattach them! (All I did was pet her, but she wasn’t ready to be “caught” yet.)

  Happy Stitching!

P.S. I did stitch yesterday, but forgot to take photos. I’ll try to take some tomorrow!

Happy Independence Day

 I hope you are all having an amazing day!!!! After starting to dig the trench for my electric line (and quickly giving up due to the heat), followed by finishing my PALS online stuff, I do believe it’s time to stitch!!! I don’t have any exciting new pictures or memes, so how bout a few throwback pics?



(Freedom!!!!!)



  And of course, for those that do not like the loud booms, and probably drunk people yelling, heres Baby Daisy! She also has the same look I do whenever I hear of someone drunk driving or shooting off fireworks, or anyone dumb enough to hold a lit firework in their hand (spoiler alert: it never ends well.)

 

  Have a fun, safe, and happy 4th!

Drama Club

   So, the three kitties were laying on the living room floor, while I lazed about in my insufficient sleep fog (seriously, basically every other day was spent switching from night to day or vice versa this past week. It was brutal!). Smokey was acting like he was going to fight Lady (they are siblings after all), and as I told them to behave, Lady just briefly glanced at me before she looked at him like, you want a piece of me?!? She then, very cautiously, as she felt my eyes upon her, lifted up her paw, gave him one last chance to back out, then slapped him in slow motion. To her credit, she did barely touch him, and her paws are super fluffy (!!!!😍). Smokey, ever adept at playing his part in the show, flung his head to the side as if the sheer force imparted broke his neck, then flung himself onto his side a small distance away, feigning unconsciousness. Meanwhile, Nala started to shout "Bravo!" as she quickly clapped her paws together, and then consulted her play bill to see when Act ll would begin (she needed popcorn). It was so convincing,  I had to hold back my paramedic and RN training to keep from performing a sternal rub on the distinguished actor. Seriously, a Shakespearean play does not have anywhere near the drama these kitties have!


 In other news, I took the NCLEX on the 15th last month, and passed!!! I was set to start as a GN in the ICU on the 12th, but they allowed me to wait to actually show up until the 16th. I am still on orientation, but officially a RN now!!!!

  In sadder news, Kirstie's barn kitten, Milky Way, tiny buddy of Slinky passed away. We do not know why, but a couple of other kittens from her litter had passed away over the past few months as well, according to the family that gave her to Kirst. Slinky is incredibly lonely, and has been taking chances coming close to the dogs to inform us that he requires attention. Fortunately, a couple of kiddos from Kirstie's church are planning on giving her a kitten on Wednesday! 

  I hope you all are well, and enjoy Independence Day!!! I'll try to do a stitching update soon!

  Happy Stitching!
