An hour commute ouch ! My drive to work is half that. Twelve hour shifts make for a long day no matter how short the drive or how smoothly they go. I'm working this weekend. Today was an interesting day. I was pulled to work psych and I'm not a psych nurse. A nice gentlemen balled his fist and gave me my first uppercut on the chin. He hit me so hard it broke the skin. I had to choke back the years that welled up in my eyes. It hurt !! Anyway I'm fine I just needed to vent.
I enjoy the outdoors. Hiking, fishing, camping and all water sports. Like you I enjoy travel and seeing new places. I head to the beach every chance I get. I'm also an avid gardener/horticulturist ! I love growing things and knowing how the soil works. In the summers I have a large vegetable garden. I preserve as many of my veggies as I can. Are you familiar with canning and pressure cooking ? I put up my green beans, corn and tomatoes to enjoy during the winter months. Fresh tomato soup is just incredible. I've dreamed of taking the Master Gardener course through Clemson University . That's on my to do list as soon as my schedule will allow. As for sports I follow the Kentucky Wildcats pretty closely and the Clemson Tigers ! Very proud of them and their win this year.
Like you I enjoy Christian music and Christian radio. I listen to 106.9 the light. The morning team Troy and Tricia are so fun and really uplifting. I think the station is livestreamed if you ever have time to give them a listen. Musically I always wished I had learned the piano. I play the mandolin. I know, weird. LOL. I grew up in Kentucky and the banjo and mandolin are popular there. No laughing !! I actually really enjoy it. I speak fluent Danish so combine a danish song with the mandolin and it's probably pretty unique 😁
12 hour shifts indeed make it a long day. Good thing we have a loving God to give us the peace that passes understanding when we have a long day! A nice gentleman hit you in the chin? That wasn't so nice... Did he apologize? I'm sorry that happened to you! I hope you are ok.
I'm not familiar with canning or pressure cooking, but I have had homemade vegetable soups and there is nothing like them. I do make a homemade chicken noodle soup and use the chicken to put some in a soup and some in a casserole. It does take work to have a vegetable garden, but being self sufficient and having organic vegetables and fruits is the way to go! Good for you in pursing this.
Sounds like Klove radio station. They started in my home church when I was 7. I was raised with Christian music all my life and what I listen to now. I'll definitely check them out! I drive home at 7am MST, so 9am EST are Troy and Tricia on then? I played the piano for 7 years. My mom was very strict and it didn't become fun even though I did great at it. I decided to spend my time with friends and sports instead. I might pick up the piano again or guitar. You should play some songs on the Mandolin for us to hear!
I know no Danish, I believe I have family in Scotland and I know I have some in Italy and Germany. lol All over the place!
Clemson did have a great season. Dabo is a great coach that professes his faith! I don't follow college sports as closely as professional. I do know Kentucky usually has a good basketball team and Clemson football. Fun strong teams to root for!
I'm heading to bed... hope you have a good weekend at work!
