Sometimes wildlife is a part of palliative care home visits. My welcoming committee the other day. #palliativecaresocialworker #lcsw #hapc

Home visits are always interesting in Palliative Care. No worries about my safety (other than my hearing)…this noise alert was not generated by a human. Any guesses on what kind of creature was this loud? #palliativecare #lcsw

A screenshot of an Apple Watch high decibel alert. It shows that there was noise that topped out at 106 decibels

I think this all part of their grift. Tons of money will be paid out to contractors, with little to no progress. The only forward movement will be for Trump’s cronies to get richer.

My pre-social media hobby…also pre children. Hobbies that involve needles don’t mix well with postpartum anxiety (or small children). My parents are moving into a small independent living apartment snd gave these back to me. #craftsky #countedcrossstitch

🌱 The garden this morning. Tomatoes and peppers protected from the unpredictable Oregon weather. And trying to manage my anxiety as my older son heads to North Dakota for his first fire as a wildland firefighter. #gardeningsky #worriedmom

I work two days a week doing inpatient palliative care consults. The hospital is on a nice little campus, nestled in a historic neighborhood. Part of that neighborhood is the cemetery behind the hospital. A nice peaceful place to take a walk during the work day. #hapc #lcsw

When someone reposts one of mine, I immediately go to their account to see if I can like, comment on or repost some of theirs. It's called engagement. That's how it works.

I attend a couple of knitting groups in my town. They’re welcoming of my #loomknitting and pretty much welcoming of anyone that shows up. You can probably tell that the Thursday night group meets at Panera. #craftsky 🧶

Had a very meaningful visit in the home of one of my community based palliative care patients. This person has a very limited prognosis and is hoping for life prolongation with current treatment. Tearful visit for them and their spouse as they grapple with when to change focus.

Today’s prompt for #fmspad is star. Here is a variation of the #tenstitchblanket I’m working on. It’s going to take awhile because it’s fine gauge. #loomknitting #craftsky #knittersofbluesky 🧶

Yesterday’s #fmspad prompt was hat. I recently completed this #loomknit hat. Sort of has a 60’s vibe I think. 🧶 #loomknitting #craftsky #knittersofbluesky

Today’s #fmspad prompt is cute. I don’t know that Pearl is feeling cute. I’m getting an annoyed vibe. To be fair it’s got to be annoying to have someone put a phone in your face and say your name a bunch of times. #catsofbluesky #catpicture #blueeyedcats 🐈‍⬛

Today’s prompt for #fmspad is Xmas tree. We don’t have our tree up…planning to get it up early next week. I’m imaging Ruby being frustrated that she is delayed in her annual tearing up of shit (ie attacking the Christmas tree). #catsofbluesky #catpicture #siamesecat

Today’s prompt for #fmspad is lights. We haven’t put our tree up yet because my husband has been sick and we’re prepping for the delivery of a new fridge. So here’s my upstairs landing.

Well before this CEO’s tenure, we experienced a claim denial by United Healthcare. My younger son went into respiratory distress at our local hospital and required transfer to Dornbecher Children’s Hospital pediatric ICU. He was about 2 weeks shy of his 2nd birthday.
