Irreverent anesthesiologist, law student because why the Hell not, sock knitter, funk band groupie. Posts are not medical or legal advice. Whatever you’re cooking, it needs more garlic.
Allergy clinician suggested Astepro. It works. But it tastes wretched. And it seems to dissolve into the mucous, because my post nasal drip sometimes tastes just as bad. And sometimes food or beverages taste icky.
So I have to decide if I want to breathe or eat and drink.

What's the term for that moment when you are literally incapable of looking at some scholarly work for another minute, and if you try all the words turn to gibberish on the page?

I'm not sure what I might have been doing wrong, but I couldn't select a team to credit for #HCWvsHunger.
And I didn't get acknowledgement that my receipts uploaded.
However, the most important thing definitely happened: my local food bank and my school's bank received support.

I've got a sample of a pre-shampoo 'bonding' hair treatment. The directions say put it on and leave for at least 10 minutes before rinsing and washing, 2-3 times per week.
I want to know who are the people who have 10 minutes 2-3 times per week to marinate their hair?

I just learned that the person who’s cooking the turkey thawed it in hot water-the most dangerous way to thaw.
I’m scared. I have an excuse to not eat it-l’m vegetarian. But what about everyone else at dinner?
Wish us well, please.

If you want a specific kind of cake for your birthday there’s no reason not to get it for yourself and that’s why I will be buying an entire red velvet cake some time in the next 2 days.

We acknowledge "upper middle class". I think we should also recognize "upper middle age".
This occurred to me as I contemplated my upcoming birthday. It'll be my last year between AARP and Medicare. And that phase feels to me like it means something. I'm not 'old'. Yet. But I'm also not firmly

Somehow my phone number has gotten on a scam bot’s radar. Caller ID says my area code, sometimes with a name, the call is always the same, telling me there are available M’care benefits. If I say I don’t have M’Care A&B it disconnects.
Tuesday I got more than 80 of these calls. I’ve stopped

We have AI chatbots to help learn the material, and an assignment to teach the chatbot.
Feels like a real person. Gives much positive feedback, even when I'm not doing well. Not sure I'd trust AI to call me on my bullshit when needed.
Perhaps its a better model to be than to have a friend.

At the airport and the customer service rep kept directing me how to use the self serve kiosk. ( in my defense it has two scanners and no indicator which one scans what). Then when the self serve checkout at the newsstand froze the cashier asked if I needed help. It occurred to me that this may be

I have several notecards from local artists. They're beautiful, and I bought them to share with friends and other loved ones.
But the artists have died.
Now I can't decide whether to use them and share the loveliness, or keep because I'll never have the opportunity to replace them.

Tonight was the Pelikan hub. I drove down to attend, and I’m staying overnight in a hotel-in room 508.
I looked back in my journal and last year after the Pelikan hub I stayed in the same hotel-room 508.
