A day in my life - happy October!

Thursday was the beginning of October.  It's hard to believe!
As I usually do, I'm sharing what I did on the first day of the month.
Thursday is usually the busiest day of my week.  Our Dr comes and does rounds, I work with him and it's usually a late day.
I don't have to start until 8, so I get to sleep in till 5:50.  That's always nice!

 One of our nurses was celebrating her birthday today.  She has a nice surprise when she opened her office, to find that her daughters had snuck in the night before and decorated her office.  Isn't that sweet?

 Since I can't share many pictures of work due to privacy rules, I thought I would show you our facility bird.  This is Shakespeare.  Shakespeare is a girl!  She was named by one of our residents.  She's kinds of funny, she likes men and lets them rub her head, but not most women.

Management started hanging these signs around the building.  None of us know what it's about, but I guess we'll find out.

 I spent the morning doing paperwork and reports, also getting all the charts pulled and information ready for the Dr.  He comes after I've been there a while and leaves shortly after 4. When he leaves, I have to call the family members and tell them about any changes or new orders, make sure the pharmacy has orders and do paperwork if any narcotic orders are changed, put orders in the med and treatment book and put out a report of who was seen and their orders to the management and nurses.  When we started rounds, there were 13 charts on this cart.  Now all that's left are lab books and his folder,

I left shortly before 6.  I thought these grasses on the corner looked so pretty in the sunlight!

I took the back roads home.  They are the prettiest!  There's not much color here yet, but I bet this road will soon be gorgeous!

I try to have a freezer meal ready on the nights I work late.  Bob got home a little after 5 and popped it in the oven.  When I got home, supper was ready.  :)

After supper, I changed out this piece that sits on our dining room table.  It was time for the summer things to go and for Fall to take over!

Then I spent some time working on my Bible Study.  Have any of you used Priscilla Shirer's studies before?  Our church did one last year and really enjoyed it, and are doing this one now.  She is the daughter of Tony Evans and was in the movie War Room.  This study is on prayer.  Our Sunday School class is also talking about prayer and our pastor is doing a series on...  prayer!  I think God is telling me something,

It was a full day, but a good day.  Welcome October!
