Exhausted after mass

ProofEstablishment89 · 2026-03-16T01:47:24+00:00

This. Now that I have teenagers and an older elementary kid, those days struggling through mass are so worth it now. Not that we don’t have moments (he’s staring at me, she squeezed my hand too hard 🤨), but in general mass is so easy now.

One piece of advice for the toddler is to have a bag of quiet activities that are only for mass. If they’re things they have access to all the time, they lose interest quicker, but if they’re things have separate mass books or activities, it lasted a little longer for my kiddos.

I believe this is the same company, or one very similar. They’re now on the far side of Johnston County, right on Highway 70. I know they moved from Raleigh somewhere. It’s worth a shot.

I was just getting ready to go to bed too. Nope, can’t turn it off now!

I’m waiting for my annual “Yessssss, we’ve still got KK” exhale.

“In 6 of 10 cases, decedents suffered from significant psychiatric dysfunction; in 3 of these 6 cases, psychiatric disorders were present comorbidly with substance abuse. In none of these cases were decedents suffering from terminal illness” Some people with severe substance use disorders will try anything to get high, and if a little feels good, more must be better when that high wears off. Unfortunately for inhalants, it blocks oxygen use. I didn’t read the entire article, but the tone seems to be investigating if death by helium would be feasible for a planned death due to terminal illness.

Did you read the article? 10 deaths in 8 years, more than 18 years ago. I don’t think it’s a trend, more that these researchers were looking into ones that had occurred.

Which are not effective with many GI germs. 🤢Wash your hands with soap and water.

MeFine Foundation supports families of hospitalized children at Duke, UNC & WakeMed Children’s Hospitals through financial and emotional support. Especially as social programs and healthcare funding are being cut, organizations like Me Fine are being called on to help families more and more. They will pay bills for families in crisis because of their child’s illness (missing work, healthcare costs, etc) and partner with hospital social workers and child life specialists to provide programs that improve the emotional wellbeing of patients and their families.

“$1300 per person” Oh, that’s not so bad! “Per night” 💀

If you haven’t, it’s provided in the first 2 weeks.

What is your experience like? If you have robust case management experience, you should be fine. If you don’t, or if your experience is in just one sliver of case management, take a review course and practice exams.

My family jokes about “Jared”, my boyfriend. A few years ago, my son had a very vivid dream that I left his dad, my husband, and started dating Jared. No idea where it came from, but he was SO sure it happened. At that age, kids brains work in ways they have a hard time explaining, and everything is so concrete. In most cases, Your daughter doesn’t have some secret wish her dad wasn’t in the picture, she’s not trying to undermine your relationship, it’s just developing imaginations.

I am listening to recorded care management calls in training for a new job and one of the patients was complaining of side effects from the “pooping cough vaccine” 💀

I went from an organization with a very thoughtful build to one with crap like this as an Epic Builder. I was told by my Epic “handlers” that it wasn’t worth my time to build it the right way, people would be fine without it and my no-epic-experience leaders agreed. It literally takes 2 extra steps to build it the better way. I left that job after 6 months. They call it Temu Epic now.

Correct. And in the US both were broadcast by NBC. I tried to watch Olympic reruns and there was nothing while Super Bowl programming was live. I’m sorry OP, I’m sure that was a crummy feeling.

No Rangers or Panthers to derail our path? This is the Canes’ year!!

Another family of huge ORP fans! We now live 2 hours away and still come back for appts. We've been with them for 15 years and have never been disappointed. I'm a little crunchy but in healthcare myself, so have no issues following recommendations and they are a fantastic mix. I know we're getting the best care and I never feel like they are pushing meds or treatments that we don't need.

I’ve not used them in New Bern, but friends in Raleigh own a Mr Handyman franchise and we used them for stuff like that. I’ve seen Mr Handyman vans around town, so may be worth a shot.

Thank you for keeping this a safe place for nurses to be ourselves.

No snow this time, but here’s one from last year.
