Let’s just get right to it. I had an extremely hard time last week into this week. As a nurse, I deal with death quite frequently, but losing someone close to you is a whole other realm of grief. There is something about death that has had me in a plethora of feelings. I’d haveContinue reading “Holidays After Death”

Leaving the Bedside
I don’t know about anyone else, but being a bedside nurse isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Yes, I will admit that most of us make it look flawless or, at minimum like we’re true superheroes wearing a cape all the time. If only, right? I get it because I prepare for my exitContinue reading “Leaving the Bedside”
Black Women
There is something special about Black mothers. Looking back at slavery, we have had our bodies taken by the white slave masters while forcing our Black men to stand by helplessly and watch. We have mothered our children and that of our oppressors. We have taken care of everyone’s children, literally. We nurture, we careContinue reading “Black Women”
Real Quick
I thought I’d come on to speak on how life’s been for me since this pandemic. Let me start off by saying, “I am safe, thank God.” Not all clinical workers, laymen, and others on the frontlines can say that. Everywhere now has a real risk for exposure, but at my healthcare center, we’ve managedContinue reading “Real Quick”
Pandemics Don't Stop Nurses From Nursing!
First of all, let me shout out all my nurses out there. We are some freaking unbelievable, unstoppable, reliable, dependable, loving, and caring individuals. While I know that not everyone has these characteristics, I’m showing love for the ones who do. We rock it out every day for any number of hours. We leave theContinue reading “Pandemics Don't Stop Nurses From Nursing!”
Hey Y’all
I don’t have much to say because I can barely keep my eyes open. However, I will extend “well wishes” to everyone who is sick, getting sick, or just trying to stay well. It’s a scary time with all the COVID-19 business going on. But, if you follow proper hand hygiene and best practices outlinedContinue reading “Hey Y’all”
Let’s Get Into It!
As you know, if you read my blog yesterday, I didn’t exercise. I was going through some things. But today was much better. I woke up at 2:30am from choking and bringing up thick phlegm. Yuck, it was nasty, and I didn’t know what it was, but it woke me up abruptly, and I hadContinue reading “Let’s Get Into It!”
Day 13 and A Little Less Mean
So y’all working out has brought out many emotions in me. Like, I’m literally a moody person, but exercising escalates certain moods. Like I can feel like I want to hit something, and it makes me workout harder. When I’m emotional, I tend to go slower with more intention. Either way, I can feel myContinue reading “Day 13 and A Little Less Mean”
Day 8 and It Won’t Be Late
So, I was late with yesterday’s blog post because I fell right asleep after exercising and showering. Tonight, I’ve been blogging quite a bit, and you can check out the previous posts when you get a chance. Tonight, however, my workout was whew chile. We had side planks, which for me was probably halfway sideContinue reading “Day 8 and It Won’t Be Late”
Day 6 and I Just Got My Fix
Well, today wasn’t a natural regimen, and I was definitely out of breath. Doing as many reps as you can within a certain amount of seconds seems more complicated than just having a set number to do. Nevertheless, I persevered and got it done. That’s right, it’s day 6, and I got my fix, lol!Continue reading “Day 6 and I Just Got My Fix”
