Happy Nurses Week! Here we are doing what we do best – playing cards.
After a well deserved day off, it was hard to get up this morning – I was definitely the walking dead for a few minutes. We started the morning off with our daily seagull selfie.

Laura, Gail and I fixed this lovely lady with a new hat and matching scarf – she was so happy.
Kristen, Karen and Meaghan dewormed many children at a nearby school.

Update on the bug zoo in Laura and I’s room – there’s no update, we’re too afraid to check.
Thanks for the updates, ladies. Wish I was there. Take care of yourselves.
Love the pics and stories associated with them.
I know you are all working hard but glad to see smiles on your faces and those of you clients.
I keep saying it you guys are AMAZING. Glad that you got some time to spend all together exploring. Any good on you! I would not be checking

hugs
