Who works at home?

by

It’s strange. When I think back to just a few years ago I barely knew anyone who worked from home. I’m sure there were lots of people working out of home offices or running small businesses from their home. I think there always has been … but now that I work at home myself I think that the amount of people that I know who work 100% from their home has increased substantially.

Sure, I also know a lot of people that work from home on a part time basis. I suppose I’ve always been in that category. Having been a jeweller in the past you can’t get away from the business. I still get rings and other jewelry made for friends and family. I’ve also done part time work from home doing web graphics and creating web sites for others. Now of course I have several websites and I earn money through various forms of advertising, writing and even by selling my photography.

There’s lots of ways to make money from home though isn’t there. I know some people that make beaded jewelry at home, and others that sell it online or in person. Actually I know quite a few people who have online stores too.

If you work at home what kind of business or work do you do?





What should I do in Vegas?

by

I might be going to Las Vegas in November.

I was just talking about it on my main blog Tricia’s Musings. I may or may not going depending upon my health as I’ve been awfully sick lately.

It’s a blogging convention that I’ll be going to if I go. I’d still like to know the full itinerary, especially since I was asked to be a speaker. Actually it’d be nice if they’d pay for my hotel room or something. Nothings been offered so far.

Anyway. For those who’ve been to Las Vegas what should I do while I’m there. Well provided I have any free time I mean. I keep hearing about the Tropicana Las Vegas. Do they have Vegas shows there?

What else should I see or do while in Vegas? Don’t say gamble as we aren’t big on gambling.

Rick Wakeman concert

by

We’ve just discovered that there’s some really good concerts going on this summer at the Danforth Music Hall. Chris has been trying to buy concert tickets for the Rick Wakeman concert on August 19th.

What you don’t know who Rick Wakeman is? Have you heard of the band YES? Oh YES you have … I’m sure you have. The tickets are about $70. Kind of expensive but this might be Chris’ only time to see him in concert. I guess if he’s going to buy the tickets he’ll have to do it soon.

Funny thing. Mandy Moore – yes the actress, has a concert at the Danforth Music Hall on September 21st. Interesting.

The mailbox lid stays open

by

I need to get a new mailbox. I’ve been saying that for a while but I really need to get one. We’ve got one of those Mailboxes that are mounted on a wall and the lid will barely close now.

It just stays open when the mailman comes along to put mail in it. I have to push down hard on the lid to close it. It opens just fine but it wants to stay open all the time.

I’m going to go out shopping this weekend for some new clothes. I guess I’ll make a stop at a few other stores to look for a new mailbox too.

ER madness

by

Speaking of my nursing career … I work in the Emergency department of a community hospital. I’m awfully lucky since the hospital is only three blocks from my home. I can actually walk to work! How great is that?

Now, I’ve been off work for a while due to my illness but I think about my job a lot and I still keep in touch with the nurses in my department. They tell me about some of the strange cases they’ve seen come in or how crazy it got in the department during the last full moon. (yes its true – there is a full moon effect, ask any emergency service worker!)

One of the saddest cases that I remember is someone who was brought in by the police. It was a girl who’d been dieting using Ephedra but she was over-dieting .. basically not eating. She was just skin and bones. On top of that she also liked to dabble in drugs … well the combination of starving herself, using diet stimulants and the drugs that she’d taken caused a severe reaction.

She was in bad shape! I was actually surprised that the police didn’t call the EMS to bring her in when they found her. Anyway, I spent most of that night taking care of her and worrying over her. She pulled through but it’s just mind boggling what people do to themselves.

I don’t have an end story for her. Unfortunately that’s the way it is in the ER. We do what we can to help people and often they are still very ill when they leave the department to go to surgery or to a floor for further care. Unless we specifically follow up on the person – and who has time in the ER, especially if the patient is no longer your patient, you just never know if they got better or what happened.

Anyone else an ER nurse?
