Sweetpea Manor Musings

The night before I went to Vegas/Laughlin, I spent most of the night taking care of a 33 year old with a rather frighteningly wicked case of pneumonia. The next day I started coughing up crap and have been now for over a week. BTW, the patient coded and went on a ventilator and only just came off. Again, why is it that I have to be exposed to contagious stuff but when I catch it, it's not considered an industrial illness? I went ahead and slogged into work because I have lots of cool trips planned for my PTO, and when not at work, I've been sleeping.

Except for now. I'm procrastinating getting ready to go see Stars on Ice. I meant to go to the local fan meeting but I took a nap instead. Besides, moonchildetoo does not need me coughing on her before she goes to have medical stuff done.

Vegas/Laughlin was cold and windy and aside from me being sick, fun. We took a side trip to Hoover dam, which is quite impressive. I've seen programs about how it was built, but it still is WOW when you see it. And doncha know they are building a freeway over the gorge! There are these amazing pillars that just stretch up to the heavens waiting for a road to be laid on top of them. We're going to go back to Vegas in April to see Craig Ferguson and we plan on saving a day to go back to the dam and take the tour.

Okay, gotta go see skating. At least MK won't be there. *g*
