This morning by habit I woke up at 6 , which felt like an epic failure on the first day of spring break. I made up for with a two hour nap 7:30 to 9:30. Then it was off to church to meet with my friend from Venezuela for conversation practice.

Then it was time for a brief Zoom meeting with my students from Burma. She is on maternity leave from my morning class having had a baby January 17th, but she has her U.S. Citizenship interview/test Tuesday, so we practice the question.

Now I am at the coffee shop hoping to catch up with fellow bloggers. I also hear my bed calling out to that perhaps another nap is needed.

It is a whirlwind of activity for this coffee purist/teacher.

How is your Saturday?

Thank you for reading. God Bless.

  1. My Saturday started with a men’s prayer breakfast . We had 32 guys in attendance! Next, I came home to do some reading and studying for a master’s degree (in administration) I’m working toward. I’ve also been catching up on blogging and checking in on other bloggers. What do you think of my new site logo?😄 Please be kind. It cost me a fortune.😳. Enjoy your spring break, Matt. We are spring breaking too!

    1. nice logo
      Have a blessed spring break 🙂

  2. That nap sure sounded good, Big Brother. My day started when I woke at 5:30 a.m. this morning, an hour later than usual. I also tried our newer coffee shop. I must say, I was impressed. Then, it was off to see my youngest daughter and grandson who lives an hour away. And hubby and I ate Chinese afterwards…Now, I’m in need of a little nap myself.🥱🙊

    1. 5:30 is so early you definitely need naps 🙂

  3. Y day started with a Migraine and meds. Then my Handyman came and installed my oven. Pics on my blog. Emptied a few boxes and some reading….. Venus

    1. sorry about the migraine
      hope you’re feeling better

  4. Glad you got some naps and get to do some enjoyable things to keep busy.
    I went to visit my grandbaby and his family a little over a half hour away Saturday.

      1. He’s doing well! Thanks for asking! 😊

  5. Even though you posted this 4 days ago, there’s always time for coffee. My Saturday was spent working. I didn’t get a chance to drink coffee and felt groggy all day. Shift work is rough, but I look forward to coffee – even decaf is good!

    1. What shift do you work?
      Coffee is so good 🙂

      1. I work mostly evening shifts (1515 – 2330). I am usually at the hospital for 10 hours per shift. I try to get there early to do research and leave late to make sure everything gets done. I used to work day shifts but I am not a morning person. Day shifts were always rough. I would be up as early as 0430.

      2. 430 would be rough
        Are you a nurse?

      3. Yes, I am a RN. It feels weird saying that because I still feel like a newbie. I’m a casual relief nurse so I fill in for people who are on vacation, sick leave etc.

      4. Thank you for your work helping the sick
        I love nurses. They have helped me a lot

      5. I work on a rehab unit, specially one that deals with geriatrics and med/surg patients. I’m not sure if nuring was my calling but I always wanted to work at a hospital and ended up getting 2 university degrees in the meantime. I wish I would have gone into nursing sooner. My biggest regret was spending 8.5 years in university 😅 Thank you for your kind words. I enjoy helping people and advocating for patients. I don’t socialize much so going to work allows me to interact with people 🙂

      6. Geriatrics you can make a difference for elderly people same with med/surg patients

      7. Ironically, I initally wanted to do pediatrics but that didn’t work out. I tell people that I didn’t choose geriatrics. Geriatrics chose me.

        P.S. I stay far away from pediatrics after a bad clinical rotation in nursing school. I still have to visit that pediatric hospital and pray that my former instructor isn’t there.
