It's 3:30, and we have had a lovely lunch to celebrate my dad's birthday, as always (I miss him so much this time of year), and then picked up groceries at Plum Market. I *could* make Xmas cookies now, but I think I am content to sit.

My kitties do not want me to get back to getting ready to leave. And it's hard to get up when they're cuddly, because I won't see them for a week!

It's raining and I'm achy and I don't want to go move a bunch of stuff today. At least I'll have some help.

Y'all, I have CLOSED THE BLACKBOARD TAB on my browser. My grades are in both places they need to be, and the incomplete forms are uploaded as well.
If I didn't have to move offices tomorrow, I would be done.

TFW you're waiting for one last student to take the optional comprehensive final so you can update their grades and get the last set in already.

Widespread immune damage from Covid is evident.
Flu is Rampant, and Covid is rising. It’s time to act.
We have to warn people now.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.
The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air
Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

This defeatism doesn’t help anything. We are all aware of the challenges in Texas. But the idea that you simply don’t try because bigotry is a defining feature is wrong
She's in freakin' Texas, though. (As am I, but working VERY hard on leaving.) They have issues here with democrats, women, and anyone with brown skin. I sure hope she wins, I love her energy, but again, she's in freakin' Texas.

You can also get a sore throat with the flu which is expected to be very bad this year.
Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Trump's Education Dept wants to 'declassify' nursing as a professional field. In its proposal, the department is changing definitions of professional degree programs & excludes nursing altogether. Changing the definition blocks nursing students from federal loans & loan forgiveness programs👇
Opinion | Declassifying Nursing As 'Professional' Is a Grave Mistake
The DoE's updated definition is dangerous for clinicians and patients alike

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

I'm teaching until 7:30 tonight and I just spilled my late lunch/early dinner of mac and cheese all over the place. At least I ate the apple first? Wish me strength making it through 2 more classes.

Interview went okay. I felt like I was repeating myself and stumbling over my words more than I have in previous interviews, but it is what it is. Hopefully will move on to the next round!

HEB delivered a brisket queso dip to me by mistake and I have no idea what to do with it (I don't eat meat). They did refund me, which was nice, but I do not need this large thing of food I won't eat.
