Minor Work Injury

Today, I was training some people and trying to affix an antenna to a broadband Internet card for a laptop. Our antenna attachment process involves using scissors to cut a piece of velcro, so that we can physically attach the antenna to the laptop, then plug it into the broadband Internet card.

While snipping the velcro tape, my finger got in the way, and it got snipped, too.

So in a room of 7 or 8 nurses, how many got up to help me? Or even expressed concern? Ok, just one with semi-concern and no one jumped up and offered to patch up my injury.

What is up with that? 🙂

I had to excuse myself to go get an alcohol swab and bandaid.

Pretty crazy, huh?

Answer – Sarah McLachlan

I found this on a blog the other day, and found it sweet and soothing. The music itself is in my sidebar, but the lyrics are here:

I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can’t look down

If it takes my whole life
I won’t break, I won’t bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You’ll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life
I won’t break, I won’t bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
‘Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out
You’ll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind

The Worst Nightmare

I had the worst nightmare I think my brain could even come up with. I was in a house where there was an evil presence. I walked through the hallway saying, “Daddy, maybe I should stay out of this house…Daddy?” and as I walked down the hall, I felt the presence inside of me. I was possessed; screaming inside, dizzy, nauseous, confused and horrified.

The scream in my head woke me up, and it was so real that it really had me bothered throughout the day.

When I came home, I checked the Internet, and it said to tell yourself that nothing in a nightmare can hurt you. But it’s hard to fight back in your nightmare when you don’t know that you are asleep.

I’m hoping for a more peaceful night.

Daylight Savings Time, Live

So, it’s nearly 2am, and I am sitting here typing this post. I’m only awake because I took a nap at 2pm, for a couple of hours. Then, I started to go to sleep at 9:30 because when my daughter cuddles up to me, what choice do I have. Woke up at 11:30, and here I am.

I have some chamomille tea in front of me, and I’m watching my computer find a virus (!), which is interesting. Myshoutbox.

Just watched my PC apply daylight savings time. That was exciting. Ok, not so much.

Well, at least now it’s only 1am. 🙂

And Now, this.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

by Dr. Seuss

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.

Not A Bad Day

Yesterday, I worked a 13-hour day. We were loading laptops for a new set of end-users coming in. It took FOREVER! Finally, at 8:30pm, I got to leave work, just in time to get home and tuck The Little Kid into bed.

Today, training two classes; 5 people in one, 7 in another. I placed an emergency phone call to our salesperson so we could get some laptop cases and some power inverters for the laptops. I finished training and ran off to bail my mother-in-law out of the hospital. Drove her home, picked up some stuff from the grocery for her, got her meds, then headed home.

On the way home, I talked to a friend who kept me awake for the drive home. I was pretty wired at that point, so I was glad for the company.

Tomorrow is Friday! Hopefully, there will be sunny skies in the morning so I can ride my bike.

Girl Scouts

The little kid is less-than-enthusiastic about her "Save the Earth" badge, which involves picking up trash from around the lake.    I'm not sure this is a good idea anyway.   What if someone tossed their used hypodermic needle there?
 
I'm not sure I got to do stuff like this when I was in Girl Scouts.   I frankly don't remember too much about it, other than being whisked away to camp for a week and spending my nights in a cabin with a nice layer of daddy longlegs on the ceiling.   And I mean "layer".
 
I got a tick in my leg that week that my dad thankfully removed.   When my dog gets a tick, I FREAK out.
 
Lately, I have developed something of a tolerance for big spiders, though.   We have 3 on our back deck.   They come down from their hiding place at dusk and start weaving their intricate webs.   I never see too much in them.  I figure they are either eating fast, or they just don't need to eat very often.
 
For some reason, they have started weaving trampoline-like webs..  as if they need a net in case they fall.
 
Yesterday, we transported a spider across town inadvertantly.   It rode on the antenna of the Jeep to ice skating lessons.   Half-way there, it disappeared.   When I got out of the car, I found it tucked into a crevice of the spot where the antenna protrudes from the vehicle.
 
When we came out of ice skating lessons, it had started a web from the antenna to the door.    I asked my husband to remove his spider.   He flicked it off, then squashed it.    Oddly enough, I was sad about that.   I mean, spiders generally only live a year anyway, and it was getting rid of insects.
 
Who would have thought I would be a spider advocate?
