I am thankful for my AMA membership but t'eed that my car died late last night in the A&W lot...one of those things after a tiring W-E. Sitting with my 2-1 mozza burger deal because I was too tired to cook listening to relaxing CBC radio and everything goes dead! Fortunately had the cell but not thrilled on an hour wait time.They came boosted and followed me home but it may be the alternator so i will see what happens today.

For the last few weekends have been "on call" for coverage at one of the local hospitals in maternity. Normally fairly quiet where I call in early and check in the afternoon, different than when up north I am not being paid to be on call so  more flexibility in my hours. This weekend however abit more drama, as two apprehensions of newborns due to family situations:  one a crack-concaine mom and other FASD mom and uncertainty of family support or ability to manage. As a hospital social worker, I cannot do child protection  and thus the involvement of the crises team, who actually come to the hospital and serve the papers. The babes then remain in the ICN until a foster family placement.. However in one situation extended family members were quite determined to take home the baby and as a result security was involved, an exit via ER entrance, many calls from nursing staff, myself and the crises workers.

My best find of the weekend was an older Minolta  35 mm camera and zoom lens from the church rummage sale, which once home discovered the same model of one I had years ago and hopefully I can find some lenses that fit!

I am going to do abit of a blog clean up of my subscriptions eliminating those who do not have sites that are active or take the time to comment when visiting mine.
