What a Week!!
18:56 Posted In Personal Edit This 0 Comments »
I'm enjoying this fabulous weather tonight out here on the deck. The humidity is gone for a few days as we finally got some relief from the northern front dipping down into the mid-southern sky. Thank the Lord!!
I've had a good week. After getting back from a not-so-restful vacation, I was ready to hit the grind at the office with an extra day of patients scheduled to offset me being gone. Monday, I was scanning my first patient and everything was going great until I tried to use the color doppler. It screamed (aliased) at me when I turned it on!! The pulsed wave doppler was faint and hard to hear. I did all I could, and then called the Biosound engineer. I had to wait for him to come the next day with parts. I went home early Monday, and came in late Tuesday after he had time to fix it in the morning. I had some time to rest. Monday afternoon I took a nap before going to get Jared. Tuesday morning I had to take him to daycare before 9am - or they wouldn't except him for that day - I had to work that afternoon, so I had him there before 9am. I went to get my allergy shots and then took some time to study Adult Echocardiography. I reviewed my ESP inc. DVD's to get the video loop section refreshing in the brain.
I went out to my garden to find I'd picked 10 cucumbers and a bucket of tomatoes. Tuesday night I canned 11 pints of tomatoes and 2 pints of pickled beets. I called Mom and Dad to ask if 40min in the canner would be enough. The general opinion was favorable as the phone was passed from Mom to Dad to Grandma Wright who were all in the kitchen pickling their own beets in Pennsylvania. Apple cider vinegar and mustard seeds, sugar and allspice boiling into those tender beets filled my kitchen with a sweet savory smell. I can only imagine that multiplied by the gallon bucket of beets they were cooking up. Wow!
Today and yesterday were full of patients and the ultrasound machine was as good as new. The Biosound engineer thought the doppler boards needed the plug-ins cleaned and reseated. I didn't even need the new parts to fix the problems. Today I called John to ask, " Did you want any pizza tonight?" Jared has seen the Pizza Hut commercial and said, "Momma!!!! Pizza!!! Eat it!!!" When I told him yesterday that we didn't have any pizza, there was a tantrum over it. This morning we were going through the Starbucks drive thru and there was another billboard Jared saw, "Momma!! Pizza!! I see it!!" Oh boy, I think it wasn't too bad of a crying fit in the car. So John brought home 2 P-Zone's and a medium pepporini pizza, and Jared dove into it. That's the best he's eaten this week without asking constantly for cookies and ice cream.
