Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

The Thin Blue Line


My second attempt at laying down the floor is going better this time, thanks to the thin blue line. The chalk line has saved me several thousand dollars to pay someone to install the floor for me, not to mention saving my pride.
It is still a ton of work and I'm sore and tired. How does anyone do this for a living? My right hand is covered with blisters from holding the hammer and my left hand is covered with open wounds from when I miss and hammer my left hand. My legs ache from all of the squatting and standing. Even my feet have wounds from tripping on stuff and from pieces of wood falling on them when I saw.
The Floor isn't perfect, but it is acceptable. That's going to have to be good enough. Anyway, twenty-two boxes have gone down and there are nine left to go. The end is finally in sight.
