My laptop is pretty.
Sep. 29th, 2012 09:28 pmAll shiny and new, it really is a pretty thing..now if I can just figure out how the hell to get the wireless router set up, I'll be good to go. Of course it's never as easy as the store says it will be...or perhaps it's that my very non techy kind of brain is just not wired that way. I read the instructions and look at the wires and stuff and I get all confussed. I need to take a look at one that's already set up to make sense of it. Tomorrow I'm going to check out Sue's and maybe it will help. At least I've figured out how to turn on the laptop and I've remembered the password. I'm going to figure it out, I just have to have a little patience. But it's very shiny and new and I love it.
I've been busy this week: did three shifts, two in CCU and one in ICU. Busy days but quite satisfying. One of my patients told me I was the nicest nurse he'd had so far (I try). Working in CCU is quite a change from ICU; the patients are a lot more interactive! They actually talk and get up and walk around and are more independent than ICU patients. The flow of the unit is different, too; CCU has more peaks and valleys than ICU it seems; flurries of activity, then some down time, then more action. I quite like it, but I still haven't found my comfort level there yet. ICU is always where I feel most at home. After 30 years, it should be, I guess.
We've been busy at the farm, too. We're redoing the paddocks, and every week there's been trucks bringing in loads of crusher dust. It's going to make a huge difference this winter having the paddocks done; there won't be mud and wet, and we'll be able to get the horses out in all but the worst weather.
Midnight and Kyra had to come off the field when we had the manure pile removed; the fence had to come down to accomodate the trucks. They go out in the two paddocks that have shelters now; they come in for a few hours in the day so Florrie and Orca can go out, then go back out when everyone comes in in the afternoon. Midnight has managed, in the very open paddock, to lose at least 4 bellboots. I've been putting bellboots on his front feet to try to keep him from pulling off his shoes, and almost every night he removes just one...and manages to lose it. Last night I put a pair of bright orange boots on him, and today he only had one on. You'd think a bright orange boot would stand out, but I couldn't find it anywhere! I give up. He's going to be bootless Joe from now on. LOL.
Teddy and Buddy had the greatest time this afternoon, racing around their paddock, up the little mountains of crusher dust and down again, around the big tree, over the mountains again. They were pretty tired by dinnertime! Buddy has finally decided what colour he's going to be when he grows up; he's been a bright bay since birth, and we figured he'd stay that way, but over the last month he's been getting grayer and grayer. He's going to be like his momma, a pretty gray.
Time for dinner, and another look at the router
