A fake arm to practice nursing stuff on.
Rubber wounds to practice sewing up.
A stethoscope with her name engraved on it.
A blood pressure cuff.
It was a good Christmas. Even though we didn’t do it in the Bay Area like we usually do.
Her sister got a cool keyboard, and Jessica’s husband is obviously very proud of the Christmas bred he and I baked.
I got some cool stuff to do some planting with. I like plants…
And they like me, as my orchid blooming in time for the New Year proves. This isn’t everything, just a taste. I hope you all had a great Christmas.
Pouring My Art Out 
Is that your youngest, Mollie? Maybe she can just practice nursing techniques on you. If she was going into psychology, she could use you as a thesis subject – albeit finding out why you are this way would take a lifetime of research. 🙂
She has been practicing nursing… psychological and otherwise… on me for more than 21 years… sigh..
Then she should be able to get her PhD in behavioral abnormalities without any delay.
yup… sigh…
