Don't read this Mr. Bond
Ever had one of those weeks?!? Maybe I should have just left the computer in the shop and then nothing else would have happened. The good news is the computer is fixed! Hurray!! Evil bugs in the system. growl. The bad news? Well, I think I broke every other piece of electronic equipment I own and some of the hospitals as well. Talk about a black cloud over your head - geez. Let's start with the hit-and-run of my Hp Ipaq (this is HP's version of a Palm Pilot. Also known as my spare brain). It's smashed. Somehow it got off my belt in its holster and under the back tire of the tractor. This was before the rain - so you can only guess how hard the ground was. It didn't stand a chance.
Next came the equipment being used in the ICU for my patient. At least I was able to fix what was broken there. Except for that IV line that I snapped in half with my hand. Stressed? Oh, a wee bit!! These were just minor issues with equipment that were testing my patience.
Then the cell phone and blue tooth headset decided they were not on speaking terms for most of the week. And then Friday. The replacement Ipaq arrived - hot synced perfectly and then died. Soft reset, hard reset, charged it. Nope. Its got power, but the screen is just as black as the one murdered on Monday. Go figure.
Then this happens:
Here's proof of guardian angels.... after having my oil changed (yes, I no longer do this myself) I dropped $49.70 into the fuel tank and went to start the engine. Tried again.... and just what was that odd odor coming from my engine....I DON"T WANT TO LOOK!!!!! (cause its the smell of money going out of my pocket into the mechanics - arrrgggghhh) At the gas pump, at my favorite service station, the post blew out of my 4 year old battery just mere hours before leaving on a trip into the woods of northern Minnesota.
Boy am I glad that week is over.......now I just have to explain to my daughter why she can't hang out at the mall with people I don't know............... :) I think the iParent series at Meadow is coming just in time!!
Note: do know that most of my diatribe is written tongue in cheek because life just happens....and its messy and to quote Rebecca - I have a grubby God. He's hands on. Usually, no always, when these things happen He's trying to tell me something :) Be happy I have a whole bag of animal crackers and I share!
