Neither here nor there

I haven't totally disappeared, not that anyone reads this anyway. It has been a CRAZY couple of weeks. I started my new job in La Crosse, and the drive isn't terrible mostly just the cost of gas and getting home at like 6:15 at the super earliest really cuts your evening, and then during the first work party my husband's appendix decides it wants out, he wasn't actually at the party rather at the ER (total downside of working 1.5 hours from home was that I was completely out of the loop while all this is going on) so in the course of roughly 5 hours his stomach started to hurt, he went to the ER and they decided he just might need his appendix out asap! What an awful little organ in that it can do no good only bad, its like the black sheep of organs. Maybe its mad because it doesn't have a purpose so it has evolved into a secret assassin over the years deciding to try to kill its landlord every now and then, yeah I know where do I come up with this crap.  Anyway I am the worse nurse ever, I am a total fixer however I cannot fix this and therefore it frustrates me to no end.  Also we had the meanest nurse ever, she was like trying to push J out the door 3 hours after his surgery, when his blood pressure plummeted and he had trouble breathing she finally laid off him but really I know they like to push people out and all but 3 hours after a 5am surgery when it took til 2am to get the poor guy settled into a room, leaving like no time for sleep the night before is a bit ridiculous.  Then he had to stay over since he wasn't recovering quite fast enough so she was just totally off base trying to boot him like that.  Needless to say it will be a pretty mild labor day weekend here.  Im fighting with all the animals who don't understand why they are being locked out of the bedroom, Ella makes a break for it every chance she can get but she is the most dangerous since her 30 pounds slamming into his stomach would be pretty awful. So here I sit a zookeeper more than anything else for the time.
