Balmy afternoon in paradise as democracy crumbles- I make dark chocolate souffles. Its how I cope. #hawaiilife #bakingmyfeelings #chocolatesoufflé

I'm feeling the Oh, Canada moment. We once had leaders who spoke with such poise and conviction. #TakeDownTheSigns Watch it or read it -it is worth it. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

To everyone who was too precious to vote for the qualified woman (or to even vote at all) - are you happy now? Literally watching our democracy and world relationships dismantled- and we have 3 years to go.

Had this been a plot in Veep- I'd have laughed my head off. But it's not. In this messed up timeline the entire world is having to actually deal with this. Greenland. NATO and 75 years of stability and trust over an unstable orange muppet's ridiculous whims. There goes the planet #MelBrooks

Know what was disrespectful to law enforcement? Attacking them on Jan 6th... now what did he do about that again?

Just when I think I couldn't possibly WTF harder- this. There is not a WTF big enough or loud enough. The "not" nazis just pasted a Nazi slogan on their podium. #noem #makeitstop

Living in Hawaii and waking up after the rest of the US has started giving me serious morning anxiety- waking up wondering what fresh insanity has been unleashed- every single day. So- here is our cute dog - cause WTF dude.

Cake for breakfast is my vibe for 2026 #TeaAndCake

What is it with Greenland? Why this single minded obsession? Did Greenland bully him on the playground or something? This is insane.

We are 5 days into 2026 and already *checks notes* The Kingdom of Denmark is having to threaten us with NATO. Just WTF?

In all seriousness- it is frightening how much of our democracy actually functioning was based on having a semi decent human in our highest office. It is kind of amazing that we made it 200+ years Clearly we need steonger guardrails

This song and very pointedly his adlib at the start is hitting me in the feels this morning #RandyNewman #Boom youtu.be/Kg_LDeUEiWY

What are the Vegas Odds on congress actually doing their job on this debacle that occurred over night? Anyone?

I had the privilege of briefly meeting Chuck- and saw him perform multiple times at JazzFest. I applaud his decision.

The end of The Birnam Wood episode still guts me. Even knowing this isn't when we lose Leo- it still guts me. #theWestWing

The Supremes is easily one of the best episodes of The West Wing. On my 5th (maybe 6th) re-watch and I really want to believe we can come back from where we are to something nearing the aspiration this episode gives. #thewestwing

Random Holiday Baking - brown sugar Mallorcan Sweet Rolls. With a husband who is allergic to cinnamon- this is as close as our house gets to cinnamon rolls

Did Venezuela magically become an island in the last 24 hours?

Meet the newest member of House Dixon- Miss Stevie! She is 6 pounds of adorableness! And 3-ish years old Adopted from the Hawaii Humane Society today. #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop #chihuahuamix maybe a little #chinesecrested

This might be the right number of screens to successfully run a nephrology practice- 1 for EPIC 1 for Excel 1 for outlook 1 for teams and 1 for funny animal videos (vital for sanity) #nephsky

Ugh! #gardein discontinued their vegan beef broth! It made the best French onion soup- that just happened to be vegetarian. So disappointed.

Long live The Oxford Comma #oxfordcomma

Guess where this girl is tonight! An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes. I was the very first for my signed copy and photo (to come). Thank you to the bestest husband ever for the ticket!!!! Graham Dixon #caryelwes #theprincessbride

So Visa processors get to be Doctors and actuaries now... Absolutely no way this will be abused. Now- can we talk about that Ocean front property in AZ? www.npr.org/2025/11/12/n...

Even rainy morning traffic is better in Hawaii

Dinner meetings are just better in Hawaii. We are not distracted by the view... really.

Rewatching Stargate SG-1 and S7E18 still gets me. I cry every single time. #stargate #sg1

The star of the morning @robertblaser.bsky.social prepping us all for @renalphysicians.bsky.social Hill Day. #nephsky #nephrolgy

Bright and Early! Renal Physicians Association is kicking off Hill Day. All these RPA members are ready to go advocate for Nephrology and Kidney Care! #RPAHillDay25 #advocacy #nephrology #kidneycare #nephsky

View from the Admirals Club in HNL- winging my way to DC for some Kidney advocacy shenanigans @renalphysicians.bsky.social #RPAhillday25

I did snort laugh when I saw this one #biblethumpers #oldtestament

So- exactly what war is supposedly ravaging Portland? I must have missed something. Did we actually start a war with Canada and I didn't get the memo?

Tea and toast to start the day on our new lanai. Distant sounds of waves crashing in. I can almost forget about all of the boxes waiting to be unpacked

Everything is in the new place- technically 🤣🤣🤣

No freakin words.

Back on that old thing called t*****r - this may have been one of my most controversial posts Crunchy peanut butter is peanut butter that didn't have the drive and determination to become creamy... it's like lazy peanut butter #peanutbutter #creamy

There needs to be a new Stargate series - and it should be based on Atlantis - and where the city is now. Enough time has passed you could have some pretty cool cameos- but s new story overall in new galaxy even- random mentions of crazy flying city antics in the last 15 years #stargate #Atlantis

So- is the extension of the telehealth waivers for Medicare about to be a casualty of the budget wars? Asking for the patients. September 30th is around the corner and I'd like to know if I need to reschedule a bunch of patients.

I am actually speechless. This is so low. So juvenile and beneath anyone who holds the office of President. How petty and small do you have to be? www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Movers come tomorrow, so we have officially reached the "random bags of stuff" stage of packing. But the important things have been moved over already🤣 Storm Trooper Rodney McKay is on duty. #starwars #stargate #hawaiilife

I understand personal choices on deoderant and things- but if you are choosing to fly - in ridiculously close confines with other people- I should not have to be overwhelmed with your body odor (or perfume for that matter). Be considerate.

Nothing disturbing in that rant #allthesarcasm

Requiring the media to sign pledges? That is not something America is supposed to do. That is a tool of oppression to hide from the people you serve.

One of the things getting me through all of the crazy in the world right now is working for and with people I like and respect. Hanging in Vegas with 1/4 of my doctors

And my flight's delayed- at SFO. It's always SFO. So - cheers to extended layovers. #vegasorbust

What the actual F***?

Steering a medical practice is exhausting. More so when the guidelines and rules keep changing (or are only temporary to start with) and you are constantly asked to do more with less. So grab peaceful moments where you can.

This post from 2017 sums me up pretty well- I'm still this person. And yes - the French 🥖 was bought as well. #2cakes

I need an origin story move for Thing- stat. #wednesday
