Tia Wind Photography and then there is the rest of the Week

I am so excited!!  Tomorrow is Linda and Jonas' appointment to have their photographs taken by Tia Wind.  Tia did Jonas' photos last Fall and they were absolutely gorgeous!!  This year, I want her to photograph the both of them together.  I'm hoping she can capture that very special bond Momma and her baby Jonas share together.  Tia's website describes her as a Natural Light, on Location Photographer.  She shoots outdoors, and utilizes any surrounding to make special memories!  She has "fun" with her photographs and it shows.  Tia will also be shooting Alex and Lindsay's engagement photos next Sunday.  I'm so excited for them and can hardly wait to see the results!!! 

Next on this weeks agenda is taking Andrew to see Dr Loop on Tuesday.  Never has there been a more perfect match between patient and doctor.  I believe Dr Loop has walked a mile in Andrew's moccasins at some time in his life.  He seems to be able to relate and communicate with him on a very intimate level.  He has displayed a vested interest in Andrews' progress and well-being.  I'm very thankful that we "found" him and Andrew likes and puts his trust in him.  With all that Andrew has been through recently - particularly the breakup of his relationship with Tracey, he is needing this appointment desperately.  I would like to see him get in to therapy, but a good therapist is even harder to find than a good psychiatrist!  I really think it is time to try and find one.  There is no substitute for good old-fashioned talk therapy!!  We will talk about it Tuesday and see what he thinks. 
Wednesday, I will be working overtime in ANGELs.  Weekdays is ssssooooooo different than weekends.  There is so much second level triage going on with appointment requests being made.  It almost feels like the "nurse" has been taken out of the equation.  The occasional call from a woman who might be in labor or her membranes have ruptured (which is actually rare) do I get to triage all by myself.  Don't get me wrong, I like having a doctor to call and give me a verbal order to call in a med rather than having a standing order.  I applaud most changes that have been made.  I am thankful that there is a clinic liaison nurse now.  But I miss being able to utilize my brain!  Maybe things will evolve yet again and the ANGEL nurse will be needed for more than she is being utilized for these days. 
Thursday is ........ laundry day.  If it is nothing else, it is nearly always laundry day!!   LOL   A day for routine, for creating in the kitchen, for not getting out of my PJs, for watching old movies while I work, for putting away the summer clothes and organizing the fall and winter clothes, okay, okay........that plenty enough for one Thursday!!! 
I'm back around to my work week - Friday, Saturday & Sunday.  Today we tried something new.  I worked the PCC calls and was the ARSAVES nurse while Stacy and Becky worked the ANGELs calls.  It was a refreshing change for us all.  I think we all liked it.  I helped them out when they got busy and in making f/u calls because my day was light.  I hope we do it again.  We really didn't discuss it at the end of the day to see how everyone felt about our experiment.  We got a little side tracked with discussion about our Employee Surveys............. a subject that needs to be continued!!!!
