I'm deeply grateful that today is my mom's birthday, and that i have the day off from work so I can spend it with her.
I am very excited about going to Muir Woods with my mom for a hike. I'm sure it'll be muddy, what can you do about the weather?

The Advice RN was helpful in writing a note to my doctor and ortho that I'm having problems post ankle-break, requesting a wheelchair and an earlier appointment for casting. Her mother recently had such a problem and she understood my situation from both a professional and personal perspective.
HOpefully will get me off crutches sooner and into a wheelchair so I"m no longer at risk of falling. Recommended going to ER for smaller/lighter boot soo hopefully it will be covered if I find it necessary.

Grateful that I was able to safely discharge a patient home yesterday on hospice, as she wished. There was lots of discussion all week with her, her family and the doctors about her goals of care/treatment.
I was able to advocate for what was best for the patient, and what she wanted.

I'm so incredibly grateful for great aides at my work. Being a travel nurse can be rough, especially finding support sometimes. But the aides I have worked with the past few months are beyond amazing. They really go above and beyond to make residents feel at home, and they make me miss home a little less.
By doing their job meticulously, it allows me to do my job better.

After I became sick, this was the first time that I ran again, a few meters, but that was a lot to me. I'm so grateful that I'm recovering.
I'm feelling more healthy and I have more energy today.

Receive a letter from IRS indicating I had not filed 2020 taxes yet. I was able to resolve the issue in a couple of yours. Because of Covid, the IRS is that far behind in processing mailed in claims. They confirmed they have received it and the form sent was a computer-generated form which I can ignore.
Relief and self-satisfaction knowing it was the IRS's fault not mine.

I helped to create a wonderful birthday for my daughter, who turned 25 yesterday.
This daughter has had a difficult time managing her expectations in birthdays past, and so I wanted to help her to think about how she would like her day to be this year.
I wanted to allow her to make her own decisions about her day, but also to help her figure out what she really wanted out of the day.
My daughter had a lovely day yesterday and the entire family and many of her friends enjoyed the day very much.
