  • Recently, a good friend of mine got married.  Vegas, baby.  They did plan the wedding, though she jokes it was touch and go for a bit.  After a long courtship and a long engagement, I am so incredibly happy for them in this next chapter. Today she was telling a funny story about a little

  • Ah, who doesn’t love waking in the morning at o’dark hundred?  Especially now, before the time change and it’s dark for a bit longer in the morning and you really want to keep sleeping. It’s been almost a month now, and with the help of my sister’s annoying daily text message to assure I’m out

  • Where’s the manual???

    There are very few jobs where you can just wing it day-by-day.  If I were to do that at my job, (make it up as I went along) I’d be calling a lot of patients back for repeat studies, additional radiation (and TRUST me, we get grilled on CT radiation dose many times a week

  • Random remarks….

    I am truly NOT complaining about the rain recently.  We’ve sure needed it; that’s been our summer pattern…drought, rain, drought, rain….usually in the afternoon.  THIS time, we’ve gotten it several mornings which always throws me off for some reason.  And to make matters worse, we have three lovely arched windows in our scan room at

  • To say this past week has been topsy-turvy is really quite the understatement.  However, we knew there would be “these days” and we would persevere through, but oh MY goodness when you are knee-deep in the muck of it all, it is some tough stuff.  Looking forward we can have a “plan” (and you know

  • And in other news….

    The more things change, the more they stay the same…or so the saying goes.  It’s been just about 4 months since CE has been home and CLEARLY we are all MUCH better off for it.   In fact, the saying between my hubby and I when we are going through a transitional time, probation speed

  • Where’s the forest?

    Sometimes it IS hard to see the forest through the trees.  When you are right in the middle of it.  The big picture, the whole forest, is jumbled up and difficult to comprehend.  This week was one of those weeks. Dealing with probation is not easy.  For someone who is “used to” the system, that

  • We will never forget

    September 11, 2001.  A day our country will never forget.  Every single one of us has their own personal memories of where we were, what we were doing, how we reacted.  And whether we personally were affected or merely watched in horror as the events unfolded; we are all forever changed.  Individually.  As families.  As

  • Psalm 32:8  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Last night was one of THOSE nights.  Stemming from getting out of work late with an end-of-the-day “catastrophe”, a domino effect of EPIC proportions took place.  Long ago my hubby taught me

  • Read-o-rama!

    I’ve been on a reading frenzy over the past couple of weeks.  What that translates into is: I have begun and finished two books in a row WITHOUT picking up anything else in the meantime.  It’s a bad habit I have. (hello, my name is Tracy and I have a little book addiction…..)  I often
