Just had our Infection Prevention/Public Health chapter board meeting. This is my first as an acting board member, and we were pleased to welcome our Epidemiologist colleagues from the Dept. of Health. Today's hot topic was the ongoing measles outbreak seen in North America.

As I've begun the process of applying to grad schools for my Masters of Science in Nursing Executive Leadership I've started to realize how many universities are named like a fake location that you might see in a B-Rated comedy.

I've been trying to focus on some creative hobbies as a way to relax from my stressful day of convincing people to do the right thing. Last night I worked on editing the audiobook entry I was assigned. I accidentally deleted the beginning of it. Now I'm more stressed.
