Monday – 14/11/2016 – TDK Honours Operating Room Nurses

For KJ – http://wit-knits.tumblr.com/
There are quite a few famous faces you may spot once you stop laughing.
Remember the sweet Christmas vid I posted a day or so ago -here’s a different take on it.

Awww, such sweet pics! JJ, I hope Dewey gets the thumbs up and a little antibiotics will clear him up. And I know that if there is no one who wants a sneezy, snotty cat–well, I know a few of us who do!!! 😉

And as for the theme today, I will be making friends with OR nurses before you know it–but I know lots of nurses since working in EMS, and I can tell you they are most underappreciated!! Love their dedication and professionalism always.

Beautiful fall day here too, with no rain expected until Saturday I believe. Mr. KZ mowed leaves while waiting for the OSU vets to show up and look at some calves that are less than wonderful. Snotty noses and such–but that’s what you get when you buy at a stockyard auction. 😕

Afternoon all! …. we used to have quite a few nurses on TDK …. honor to all of them!
Today was the first day that felt like fall to me … kinda overcast and cooler …. a nice change!
I’m happy to report that the new pond residents seem to be thriving …. They look so tiny compared to the other ones, but I know they’ll grow …. a new cycle of life begins …

Time for me to wrap things up, I think we’ll go out to eat tonight, I just don’t feel like cooking … besides, we need a run to Sam’s club …. L8R all!

Dewey is all vetted and bloodwork came out negative for FIV & FeLV, yay! He has been vaccinated for distemper and leukemia and even got a rabies shot. He will go back in a few weeks for a leukemia booster. Comet was the snotty one, not Dewey, but I’m happy to say it looks like the l-lysine is working! Comet was howling at the moon at 5am this morning! Actually it may have been a loud complaint that there was no food out because Dewey was in, but now that Dewey has the all clear, I don’t have to pick up the food any more! Another yay!

Afternoon all.
cow update on the pic I posted yesterday of stranded cows:
The family of cows that were left stranded on an earthquake island have reportedly been saved.
Rescuers dug a trench to free the cows from the small dirt peak where they were trapped. 😀
Mother Nature seems to be in a contrary mood. first the really nasty quake and now those same areas are getting high winds and heavy rain and flooding.
A few facts about the quake
There have been more than 800 quakes since Monday’s M7.5 quake in North Canterbury – which was two quakes together.

-It’s likely that smaller aftershocks will continue, but there is close to a 40% chance of another large shake soon.

– Landslides have cut off Kaikoura, with its drinking water running out. Two NZDF ships and the USS Sampson are en route with supplies and should reach the region by Wednesday, after bad weather delayed them. Small amounts of people are being flown out by helicopter today.

– Two people were killed in the quake, in Kaikoura and Mt Lyford.

– The first tourists will be evacuated from Kaikoura on Tuesday morning.

– Wellington’s will reopen for business, but is close to being completely cut off due to wild weather.

– Some 1500 homes in Marlborough and North Canterbury are still without power.

Airy rang last night and said that the ground moving all the time was getting really annoying, you never get a chance to relax and nerves are on edge all the time. Now it’s the rain,wind and disrupted transport system because of the quakes, rain and flooding. At least the cats where she lives are undisturbed by everything going on.
Woohoo JJ, fingers crossed that Dewey passes any tests the vet gives hom and he can find a new furever home.
KZ, hope the calves and less snotty soon.
Waving to JK.
AV, yay to cooler temps. Double yay on the new pond occupants, may they thrive and grow.
KJ, great chair find(googles cerulean) Wow, that’s a beautiful sky blue shade. Yes, pic pls.
Kaloo Kalay ! ! Dewey is all negative. Wonderful JJ. I bet Comet will be pleased about that because it means full plates.
KJ, well done on the drop cloth and gloves.
Lunch time.
KJ, I hummed and harhhhed about posting that vid so if anyone is offended I will remove it. Sometime we just have to laugh at ourselves.

Hi Efurryone,

I saw the dental hygienist this A.M. Pretty clean teef considering I missed my 6 month appointment. 😮 With all the other dental appointments, I forgot to make an appt. for cleaning.

While I was at the hospital, I told the nurses this was their day and to have a happy!

Grumpy cat says it all. I love the knit cap the kit is wearing (not to happily) in the pic. The wee kit in the pink blankie is so precious-COA*COA* Pfft! thud

Yea for Dewey. He’s such a sweetie and will have his own furever home soon. We will all miss him (esp. you).

What a find, KJ. It’s great you have the desire to refurbish and re-decorate you place. It’s pointless telling you to take it easy, so just take care.

Those sweaters-ugh!

I hope the shaking settles down soon, MS. I sympathize with Airy.

Yea on the new fishes! Soon they’ll be a big as Hazel.

that’s all here, I’ve got remember to watch the moon!

Cya and have a happy~

Just heard from Airy and they have had 3 severe,1 strong,2 moderate and 2 light quakes in the last 14 minutes. Rock n Roll Kiwi style.
KJ, she couldn’t even get out of her city to drive here, trains are not on schedule and airport marginal and all because of the heavy rain and flooding, the quake damage is just the kick in the tail. However it could be a lot worse.
I am a little angry having just read about a family from the UK, who very obviously didn’t appreciate the quake interfering with their holiday of a life time and can’t wait to get home. Never mind the wrecked lives and homes and everything else that is destroyed, roads that will take months at the least to be repaired or dig out of slips. The sooner they leave and go back to their cozy ignorant lives the better as far as I am concerned. Uses ladder to get off soap box.

MS, not offended by the video at all, it made me laugh! Especially of Hillary’s face when she went running out that door…so cute!

JJ, makes me tear up a bit to think of Dewey leaving, but I’m like that about everything. I cared for so many cats at one point I was going broke, but when I thought about finding homes for them, I couldn’t imagine how I could let one go. Can you say HOARDER?! 😛

KJ, I always like to see pics of your street finds. Of course, after you have had your way with them, they don’t look like street finds anymore.

PG, isn’t it nice to get your teeth cleaned? I love they way they feel afterwards!!

AV, hope you enjoyed your dinner out. Mr. KZ and I went out too but don’t have a Sam’s club close. I really wish we had something like that or Costco — it feels like something exotic when I get to go to a grocery like that with all the choices available!
