Flowers gone to seed

Join Green Thumb Sunday

Join

Last Monday my husband and I took our dog for a walk through one of Toronto’s large city parks and I came across some lovely wild flowers and I thought you might be interested in seeing them this Green Thumb Sunday.

I have no idea what kind of flower or rather flowers seed head this is.

It’s lovely though. If you click on the picture you’ll be able to see a larger version of this picture on Flickr …

The whole seed head is composed of tiny tiny components.

Someone on my photoblog, Breath of Life Photography, stated that it looked a bit like groups of tiny spiders. It’s not, but if you take a close look it does kind of look like that.

This on the other hand is a weed that’s gone to seed ..

The seed head spikes sit above a cluster of roundish green leaves. I have these growing in my lawn but they never get close to maturity like this one has. Again, I don’t know the name of this plant / weed, but it’s interesting even if it’s extremely common and wants to take over my grass!





Trying to decide what to have for a late dinner

by

Chris and I went to an afternoon concert today. No it wasn’t a concert in the park … it was in a legion hall. LOL Now that was different.

The bands were really good, but I felt sorry for one of the lead singers. You could tell that he’d had really severe acne as a kid and his cheeks were pock-marked as a result. I always feel bad for people who’s faces are scarred like that when there are so many good treatments available to treat severe acne these days.

Anyway … now we’re going to have a late dinner. I’m trying to decide whether I should cook something or if we should continue to treat ourselves and order something out? Maybe Chinese food? I’ve kind of had a craving for Asian food lately.

What would you do if it was already 9 in the evening? Make dinner or order out?

No sleep – again!

by

I can’t believe I had another sleepless night/day today.

I just went through that on Wednesday and luckily caught up on my sleep by having a much longer than normal sleep on Thursday. Maybe that’s why I didn’t feel tired until the very early morning hours today … but even though I was tired I couldn’t make myself go to sleep.

I really have to do something about this sleeping problem I have. It’s getting worse. I spend most of my days feeling terribly tired, yet I can’t sleep more than a few hours at night. Totally sucks.

What DID I do yesterday?

by

On my other blog, Tricia’s Musings, I just wrote a post about my really bad day yesterday. I only slept for 2.5 hours yesterday so I spent the whole day in a complete daze.

Now I can’t even remember some of the things I did yesterday. Lack of sleep takes a terrible toll on your memory. I have things that I do each day for the many websites I run and I basically had to go back and check to see if I did some of the tasks yesterday because I simply couldn’t remember if I did them or not. I couldn’t even remember if I took all of the medications that I take each and every day either. Odd.

Have you ever been so tired that you couldn’t remember things you did a few hours before? I guess it’s kind of like drinking too much! Strange feeling.

Trying to stay up to date in the nursing field while on medical leave

by

Since I’m a nurse on extended medical leave I’ve been trying to keep up to date on health news, nursing techniques and so on so about a year ago I joined a few nursing groups and I get regular weekly or monthly newsletters.

The information I receive is usually quite helpful. It ranges from how to deal with grieving relatives and friends to new ways to treat chronic health problems like diabetes.

I came across one article today that talked about a new way to treat acne. It’s with acne pills. Now I knew that there were some prescription pills out there to treat acne, many in the form of antibiotics, but this is something different. They are antioxidant pills. It makes sense, but it was news to me.

Do you join internet based groups or sign up for newsletters related to your career so that you can stay up to date as well?

My Crohn’s is so bad that I don’t know if I’ll ever resume my nursing career, but just in case I do get healthy enough to go back to work I’d like to stay up to date as to what’s happening in my field.
