Well I think this post will be a mixed bag of things. I did my last flu clinic today. I injected just over 500 people, in 3 1/2 days....that's a lot of shots. By the end of it I was starting to feel like a broken record...asking the same questions over and over....but you know...you have to...even if the next person is within ear shot of what I am asking I have to ask them. It was good. No reactions. Everyone very pleasant, I chatted with so many charming people. It was a great experience and I look forward to next year.
This week I also went to my local Hospice Society and decided to volunteer, it's been something I have wanted to do for sometime now. After meeting with the Excutive Director it was determined that they would like to see me as a Team leader. I told them however I could be of assistance. I have to take a 6 week training course. Seems kind of strange seeing as I directly nursed palliative patients for 5 years and continue to nurse palliative patients. But I suspect volunteering will be different. I think my challenge will be to take off my nursing hat and just be a volunteer and remember my boundaries as a volunteer and try not to take on to much. But I am excited, I think this will also help me with my long term goal of getting back into palliative care and hopefully being able to be part of a team who provides palliative services in the community.
Middle daughter is on her way over for a visit. Poor baby had her wisdom teeth pulled yesterday.....all four....ouch.....she is in a lot of pain....and is just wanting some mom time. I have tried to organize a massage and pedicure day for the both of us tomorrow...but so far no such luck...every shop I have called are booked. But I shall perservere.
Renos in the bathroom had to take a back seat this week. Hubby has been sick. Had a temp of 39.1 celcius...that's about 102 F. He's been so sick, but I think he is on the mend now....so maybe over the weekend we can get a start on it again.
So that's about all I have to say about that.....hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
Cheers!

Sorry to hear hubby's been ill.........also sorry for the pain your daughter is in after the removal of her wisdom teeth.
Good for you for volunteering for such a good cause! One question, when are you going to fit it in? LOL You are already busier than most people I know! ;)
Wow! You're really gonna be one busy little girl aren't you?
Hope you and your family have a great weekend too!
I feel for your daughter.Pain with teeth removal can be tough... Keep ice on and load up on pain meds...I am going to volunteer to feed babies in a hospital nursery..The place I retired from 4 years ago...I can feed and rock and give my love to babies without the stress of working. Baba
I hope your daughter and your husband will feel better soon. That's great that you're volunteering for hospice. That's got to be a plus for them to get someone with your experience and background as a volunteer. I hope you have a pleasant weekend.
Oh your poor daughter. I'm sure she'll feel better after a little TLC from Mum! Poor Hubby too, but glad to hear he's on the mend.
Well done you for volunteering for such a great cause. :)
