First off, thank you over and over for your excited and !!! filled notes on the last entry. It's still extremely surreal but based on my symptoms, I think it's still happening. I went in for a HC...

---

Written yesterday morning before I headed into work, before I talked to Rob, before anyone but me and the puppy had spoken about it. I thought I'd let you guys in on a little secret - the tiniest...

---

I'm having a hard time with Prosebox. It's hard for me to come on here and see the pages and pages (and pages) of unread entries and then I learned recently that once you get to 10 pages, anythin...

---

There is a reason for everything. It's the most cliche statement out there but damn is it true. If infertility has taught me anything it's to appreciate what I have already. I heard a saying th...

My new (and subsequent favorite thing) birthday shoes! My muddy puppy enjoying the spring melt Watching basketball with the boys AKA taking selfies with my dog :-D Running a St. Patrick'...

---

I want to start this off by saying I'm going to write about my birthday but please feel no obligation to then wish me a happy one. I feel very self conscious about that today after sharing some t...

---

A few weeks ago, Rob and I were just about Up To Here with all the cold and freezing and snow and WINTER in Wisconsin. We had a random four day weekend with no plans coming up so we looked into t...

---

Making a goal to come here and write even when there isn't really anything huge to report. Let me emphasize that. Here are the five biggest things going on right now. 1) It's snowing/sleeting/p...

---

I admitted a woman to our ICU a few weeks ago with respiratory failure from a bad autoimmune disease. She was awaiting a lung transplant but had gotten too sick & required too much supplement...

---

Struggling lately to find words I can share in a public forum - not my private books or my Friends Only books but my bigger, more open, more vulnerable, more out there books for All The Eyes to s...

---

I found out yesterday about Open Diary officially shutting down. As important as that place has been to me for the last ten years, I have to say a large part of my reaction was relief. Relief tha...

---

I visited with a close friend today and got to meet her newborn baby boy. He was so cute and sleepy and snuggly. She seemed to appreciate the chance to have two free arms for a few hours & I ...

---

My weekend of work was good, albeit busy. We kept turning over beds and admitting these super sick, unstable, deteriorating patients (so. much. influenza.) and then stabilizing them in 24 hours o...

---

A random survey because I don't have much else to say. :) Who is your favorite person to travel with? Definitely Rob. I have lived in the same 10 square miles my entire life and am easily overwh...

---

A few weeks ago Rob came home from work heavy shouldered, sad & withdrawn. Over dinner I asked him what was wrong and he proceeded to tell me he had been told he would need to fire one of his...

---

So I ended up having to call in for work tomorrow (only the second time ever at this job and maybe fourth time in my seven years as a nurse!) as my back is tighter and more stiff than ever. I als...

---

I'm currently wide awake at 3 AM, too uncomfortable from a pinched nerve in my neck & a pulled muscle in my back to sleep. No position is comfortable & despite muscle relaxers & ibupr...

---

For 2014 I want to both be harder on myself and more gentle. I want to hold myself to a higher standard but cut myself more slack. I want to challenge myself to be greater but accept my own human...

---

Hello, Proseboxians! I hope this season finds each of you surrounded by love and laughter, the people you adore the most, the foods that fill you up in body and spirit and the time to step back,...

---

Hello Proseboxians! I just finished my big work stretch and am now diving face first into an eight day stretch off, full of couch and puppy and sleep (oh glorious sleep!) and oh.so.many family an...

---

I realized it had been a bit since an update and I'm trying to write more so I scoured my recent iPhone photos for inspiration and....could only find this. I'm taking care of a super sick pati...

---

Honestly, 90% of my pictures are of my dog because I'm either working (where I legally can't take pictures), running errands (boring), working out (super boring) or lounging around my house clean...

---

When you are married and don't have kids and you have a dog that is sorta like your kid and she's an especially patient and tolerant fur-kid...this happens. Isn't she the best? :) Happy Holiday...

---

I've decided I won't post every day - just the days I take pictures and have something to document. The worst part about these 'write every day' themes is sometimes instead of adding inspiration ...

---

Yesterday was the foggiest day I've seen in a very long time. Thick, enveloping, impenetrable fog was spread out across the whole city and despite waiting all morning for it to burn off, it never...
