So I just watched episode 8 of The Pitt. Wow. Strong emotions coming back. Growing up, I wanted to be a doctor. I just…assumed…I’d do it. As soon as I could I started volunteering at the hospital. Worked my way from discharge up to the ER, and spent a summer there, 20 hours a week.

Me to myself: How much can a single tweezers cost anyway? (Looks at watchmaking site.) (Swallows hard while placing the order.)

Can’t help but think this humor is up @stellagarp.bsky.social’s alley.

Sooooo glad to be home. A week is a long time to be in Vegas. Doggos are even more glad, I’m currently smothered under them. That said, dinner at Top of the World and a few other places was quite nice.

I’m actually very sad as I write this but I’m so, so relieved Canada won.

Took off when it was -13°F. Landed in Vegas in the mid-60°s F and I am currently looking for a walk-in freezer to sleep in.

Welcome to Minnesota, folks… Backyard weather station for January. Look at that temp swing.

We had our Beer Hall Putsch. There will be a Reichstag Fire. The only question remaining is what will the reaction be when it happens…

Going through IG followers this morning and removing bots and spammers. The numbers are not good. It’s my last Meta account, and lately I’ve only been using it to follow posts from folks on here. Thinking delete day may be coming soon.

Not much for snark or jokes today honestly. Probably picked the wrong night to start watching The Pitt too, but such it is. Those of you with loved ones, give them an extra hug.

3rd grade: Forged my mom’s signature on a bad report card. Should have guessed her signature wouldn’t be in basic cursive. Middle school: picked up my bully, laid him face down on a lunch tray, and ran him down the line shoving his head into all the sauces. Got a week of quiet lunch. Worth it.
