This One's For You

This blog is for all the ones who got me to where I am,

Mom and Eric: you let me live at home rent free while in school and after while paying off the school loans, I know you've always wanted to help me more and i know you couldn't, but I don't think you've ever realised how much living at home with no worry about getting enough hours in to pay for rent and bills while also having enough time to study really helped. Not only that but you drove me around for all my wonky hours for placement and work when I am up in the middle of the night and sleeping all day. You've always been there for me and supported me in everything I do.

Galways: You guys were have always pushed for further education, which is likely one reason I went into nursing in the first place, but not only that but you also offered to help me pay for it. youve offered me help with rides and youve taken me on trips when I couldnt offord it, and likely wouldnt be able to afford it in any near future.

Andrew: You are my sun and stars. You've pushed me, you've believed in me and your always there for me, you've done more for me then you will ever know. You are everything to me and there's nothing more I can say to that. xx.

Dear Sun,

I know I haven't spent as much time with you as I should, I understand that it's been a week since we have seen each other. It's hard to make time to see you, specially because our schedules do not cooperate with each other. But I miss you so much, I miss your warmth, your brightness, your vitamin d.

Blogs of a Nurse

I've been a nurse for a year now, and there's times I forget this, as silly as it sounds the other day i walked into a residents room and they asked me "are you a nurse?" and it hits me, yes, I am. It still floors me sometimes to think this, I never thought as a kid I would be a nurse, I wasn't one to play doctor or nurse as a child, even in high school I didn't aspire to work in a hospital, nursing home or retirement home. Yet here i am, and wow, I Love It.

I've had happy moments, I've had sad moments, I've seen people born and I've seen people die. But i wouldn't change it for the world.


So to start, the blogs of a nurse.

A New Start

So I haven't written in awhile, actually I erased all my previous blogs awhile ago and decided to start fresh, minus the few pics about chainmail. I visit allot of other sites on here but don't often write. A friend started her blog so I figured maybe I should write again.

I consider myself an artist, dabbling in chainmail wirework, rope work, beading as well as refinishing furniture, but that's just what I do to keep myself sane. I am also a nurse, RPN to be exact, I work in a retirement home currently. I enjoy conversations about health/medicine, naturopathy and will try to join my friend often in her discussions about religion, social science and current events.
