Why Nurses are Evil

I should say that I like the ones I work with but then again they never approach me with a needle or some other equally nefarious object.

I went to Dr Brian this week for my 6 month check up. What was a nice, routine visit suddenly turned into a horror story.

As he was fixin to leave he suddenly asked me when my last tetanus shot was.

Seeing as I can't remember yesterday I had no clue.

He said July 7, 2010? I said no, no I don't think so!

He totally guilted me into getting it because I had told him that the next time I was in I would bring pictures of my new niece or nephew (he has young kids) He told me that if I was going to be around a baby and be a good and responsible Aunt that I needed to get an updated tetanus shot because the whooping cough was going around as was presimuss? (i have no clue) and while that would just give me a cough it could be very harmful to the baby and they would be hospital bound and possibly could threaten their life.

By the time he got done I felt like some sort a non tetanus shot taking serial killer so I agreed to it. (really he didn't give me a choice!!)

He left and the Nurse came in, who I really think I used to go to church with but I was a tad too distracted by the needle to have a social visit at that particular moment.

She came in with the needle and immediately my head swung around as far as it would go in the opposite direction from the needle (I do this every single time)

She observed from my head contortions that I was not a fan of the needle.

duh.

She started flopping my arm around and telling me to just relax and loosen up.

I informed her that she was holding a needle which she was about to stab into my body. This was as "relaxed" as I was going to get.

(I'm not too friendly when you're getting ready to torture me)

She stuck, no, JABBED the needle in and I began to breathe again.

She said oh good job you didn't even cry!

I said oh no, I usually don't cry. I get dizzy and sometimes pass out.

She gave me a look and told me that might have been helpful to know before the shot.

I smiled.

And then I ran for the hills before anyone could decide that I needed any other services.

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
