Tiger

 So two kitties found their way to our home while my mom was here in October after we first moved in. Neither Austin or I wanted to keep them, so I tried to find a home for them. Two days passed and we started only seeing the one. My mom and I assumed something got the one. Brothers. We ended up having just Easton the next weekend when my mom was still here and he found discovered the other kitten hanging around. Needless to say, by the end of the day, he had convinced my husband that we should keep him. And we did! Got him fixed, kids fell in love (and I did too). Super loveable and spunky. He liked getting up on my chest and licking my face and neck. Liked. Past tense. I looked out our front window yesterday and saw him in the road. He was only with us two months but I like to believe he had a good time during those 2 months. Our house is so close to the road and he had done a good job of staying out in the back. But I guess he got bored. Here are some fun pictures I have of Tiger. 

Unsure.

As a registered nurse in the year 2020, I can say with certainty that this HAS NOT been the year of the nurse. I left the bedside in September of 2019 and even though I am not directly dealing with patients, there have still been challenges to my job. Being an ICU nurse, I sympathize with my fellow nurses who are on the front lines tackling this virus head-on. I empathize with the nurses at my hospital who are taking care of these patients every. single. day. Some nurses only getting one day off here and there because of staffing and the surge that's on the rise. I won't take too much more time focusing on this, because we already know what a heartache and pain this virus has been. How many lives its affected, how many its taken and how there probably isn't a solution in the foreseeable future. This is something that will be around, it's not something that's going away. Stay safe, stay smart and always wear your mask.
