Everyday brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes and dance!

Emerson once said, "Insist on yourself; never imitate...every man is unique." I hope to be that way in every breath that I breathe, in every song that I sing, and every dance that I dance... My dance has taken me on quite the journey over the years! Right now I am living in Terrace, BC with my best friend and husband Matt and my little sister Heather... we're better together... I work at the hospital as a RN and am working toward my nursing specialty certificate in Critical Care... a journey for sure!

what do you call it when..


when you get a little of this and a little of that, some of this and some of that and put it all in one... my brain is on shut down and I can't even think of the word - but that the word to describe my shift last night!

We saw it ALL.... head to toe, you name it! We had a guy who was committed to the psychiatric ward, we had a guy who fell in an RCMP cell and hit his head, we had a guy who sustained an eye injury while playing hockey (I sure hope he will be able to get it all fixed!), a guy who would go into idioventricular (wierd) rhythms and then convert (not often seen), a guy who got hit by a car and then dragged by it - police of course involved - three of em!, babies with spiked temps, a guy who was allergic to the cold? A woman with an ectopic pregnancy, a woman with a miscarriage (another half hour to hour and she'd have bled to death right in front of us!), an emergency surgery for a girl who came in with abdomenal pain - ruptured appendix, she went septic, there was people with breathing difficulties, chest pain, earaches, backaches, drug seekers... sigh... there was everything! It was a busy busy night to say the least!


But now I am off for the next few days... so I can update this thing at some point! For now... dreamland, I'll find out what the world has been up to while I was working when I wake up!
