Swirled with white crystals

Thrifting and #crafting day! Turned my husband’s old, sad-looking lamp into a lovely luminary ✨

Me at the Alfa Romeo dealership today (recall repair appt.): Would it kill these guys to smile and be friendly a little bit? 🙃

But alas.

The sole female staffer did smile at me, though. 👍🏽

Me: I’m not dramatic.

Also me, on day 7 of a bronchial thing, coughing up another lung: Welp, I’ve had a good run. 🫠 👋 ☠️

Anyone else getting excited for this event for #medstudents? It's on Sat., Sept. 6 in St. Paul! Learn procedures, meet with residency programs, and get free brunch 😀

Earlier I repeatedly clicked on a YouTube ad promoting yet another AI tool no one asked for—because I am a menace. 🤪

A quick reminder to all doctors--there's this great field called clinical informatics. What is clinical informatics? To use the best definition, from Charles Friedman--it's to MAKE this equation true: A doctor with a computer > doctor alone.

If you’ve got cramps, a cat is going to jump onto your abdomen. I don’t make the rules.

No one could have possibly predicted this row between these two unstable megalomaniacs… 👀

Shout out to my beloved husband who loves me and wants to hang out with me even in my current scraggly-ass sickly unkempt disheveled hunched over and wobbly barely functioning wild-haired goblin state 🥰

I started rewatching the Three Mile Island documentary on Netflix tonight and thought of the parallels with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Specifically how the men in charge in both cases cut corners for speediness, political gain, and cost savings. That M.O. led to the #Chernobyl accident itself. :(

I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

Starting this tonight.

(In response to seeing a musician I like advertising that they’ll be performing at 10 pm on Saturday):

I like staying up late. But I like to be in bed while I’m staying up late. 🤷‍♀️

Hmm. Gotta say I don’t love the cheap feel and broken plastic on the new cellular shades. Pay more for lower quality? Cool 👍🏽 🫠

Upside: Easy to install.

Things that show up on my dramatic car’s dashboard right after I finally pay it off (a periodic thread):

This is a friendly reminder that library cards are free, and your local public library will never make you pay extra so you don't have to watch ads.
