Hoping the fatigue doesn't keep me from TJO, or Shellac, or the BBQ. And that the nausea is minimal.

Go go go! You have got this.

Thanks Steve, I think it IS Fluffy-time


That maple syrup looks heinous but it's just crystallized a bit and I assure you comes from the finest trees my niece and nephews could tap

I made my first PCP visit today. 3 years of working for one of the largest hospital systems in the world and I hadn't seen a provider until today. Thankfully, we seem to have a pretty good rapport so far. They started their career as a social worker and worked as an RN in the armpits of SMC before becoming an NP. TL;DR I am now taking escitalopram. I guess it's been a long time coming.

Kick it’s fucking head in my friend!

We were treated to the best Aurora Borealis I’ve ever seen tonight. Just mindblowing, a genuinely spine tingling experience.

Finally completed a HUGE, 4+ year-long project at work today.

I should be out celebrating, but instead I'm alone in my home office, alternating between staring at the wall and closing my eyes (aside from typing this).

The hell is wrong with me?

You know when you you're eating chips and salsa and you get to the bottom of the bag and the remaining chips are not really large enough to dip? What i do is dump all those little chips into a bowl and put just enough salsa in to toss em, and eat it with a spoon, like tortilla/salsa cereal. Is this wrong?

Great minds. I do this too.

If it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Hob Nobs and custard for dessert. Same method.
