Evidently it’s snowing at home today. Operation opt out of the end of winter is in full effect

I am using said fork to eat these and, well, they’re actually perfect

This fork is sooooo close to being perfect

So spoiled here because I can get something with passion fruit and then add more passion fruit

Looks fake. Somehow isn’t.

How many ambien will I take?

Next morning coffee will be in a much better location. Take a guess.

Realized I don’t work again for a month. 🎉🎉🎉

I know I can’t keep my kid away from video games forever, but I hate how easy it is for kids to have exposure these days. (Related: fucking Minecraft)

Trying to clean out the kitchen before we go away, so dinner was a bowl of broccoli and homemade Rice Krispie treats eaten right out of the pot. Key is browning the butter and adding extra salt.

Today’s shift theme was shaming other doctors into doing the right thing for patients. Insane how much time I have to spend on that some days

Started my morning with a little scosh of SVT, but you know, still going to my shift today as we do.

Was going to be productive when the babysitter came today, but I just crawled back into bed and rotted.

Buying books for vacation to make myself feel better. What should I get? No tear-jerkers please

Had the best hummus tonight at Aviv in Miami. Every bite of the meal was stellar. Related: I’m so full, I can’t take a deep breath

Ok, yes the view. But more importantly, this mug is an affront to my left-handedness.

Well, somehow we made it out of our snowed-in neighborhood and on the plane. Still skeptical until wheels up, but this is already exceeding expectations

Tried to shovel this muck and it’s literally like shoveling heavy wet mud. Very thankful we don’t have to work today, but also very sad our flight to Miami got cancelled 😭

All stocked up for the storm. Milk and bread are overrated.

Med school classmate became a local orthopedist. People describe him as a nice family guy. He’s an enormous online troll/bully and says wildly offensive shit. I’d never refer a patient to him and it’s insane there’s no consequences for this nonsense.

Our house backs up to woods but on the other side of the woods is a church that holds long wailing loud services. End result: sitting in my family room and it sounds like the trees behind me are crying.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

I think one thing about the internet age is that we all watch the world decay and burn together and a stark bifurcation appears: it was never us/them, one country versus another. The good people from every country hold each other and fight together against the powers of evil that hurt us all

Not even 40 years old, and I’m getting over a second bout of shingles. Really looking like a lot less of a mystery as to why this is happening given we got to wake up this morning to *gestures wildly*

Trying to decide if I have shingles. Again.

Love the text from work that we’re out of viral swabs until Monday. Makes me real excited for my shift later.

Amish market had special holiday hours, so I present a small selection of the donuts we picked

Taking my beta blocker with my Diet Coke. As intended.

Anyway, I’m sitting here blowing up balloons so he can wake up to celebrations in the morning. Feels like such a normal parenting thing, but this was so hard won and so deserved.

Last year, kiddo was deep in burnout when his birthday came around and we celebrated lightly in a way he could handle. After a hard year of healing, he’s so much better and asked for more birthday celebrations this year. 🥺🥺

The time honored tradition of booking vacation while on vacation

Already sad about going back to reality tomorrow

Evidently it’s snowing at home

So much better

Oh look where we are today

Playing “will it make my biliary colic act up” roulette. I lost this round.

In case you need some art in your life today, please enjoy this wall hanging my mom made for us

Child is watching different “how to play chess” videos in stereo on his iPad and the tv. When I go to work in the ED later, it’ll be less overstimulating than this.

Come down from taking a shower. Kid gives me a hug and says “you smell better now than before. But not your face. That still smells bad.” Kids, man.

Real text I sent my husband because I had a local skin reaction to the pneumovax vaccine we got last week (SJS = Steven Johnson syndrome)

Real text I sent my husband because I had a local skin reaction to the pneumovax vaccine we got last week (SJS = Steven Johnson syndrome)

I have too many grievances today and the root cause is probably only getting 4 hours of sleep because my child somehow lives on no sleep and piles of French fries

Unskippable online training modules that I do not get paid to complete and I get fined if I don’t do them?? It keeps getting worse. (Required to do this unpaid nonsense for 3 different clinical jobs)

my mom finally convinced my dad to go thrifting with her and he found the greatest thrift store find of all time on his very first try

As an EM doctor, I see people’s lives destroyed by diseases and accidents when the day before they were “healthy” by this fuckhead’s definition.

Very on the nose with my self service HR complaints for this morning. I JUST WANNA EMAIL SOMEONE A PHOTO OF MY FLU SHOT PROOF

Self service HR makes me wanna gauge my eyes out.

Uh a V fib “flare up”?? This is…not a thing.

What a goddamn disappointment. Would have rather had to cancel the trip we have this week
