Listening to the opening statements the last few days of the hearings has made me feel like my job is seriously not important. I appreciate that so many qualified people run things. I'm sorry they have such absurd challenges and obstacles these past few years.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S had a meltdown at dinner. He threw his dinner on the floor, then cried about being hungry. He's eating a tuna sandwich now. I just don't know about him sometimes.(Ok, a lot of the time.)

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Extremely late, but chiming in as a professor at a community college: it is never too late to go (back) to school to pursue something you're interested in. My older students are usually my favourite ones; they really want it and know how to work to get it!
Waving pompoms at all y'all who could use the support.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Oh! I almost forgot. We get a new set of doctors every two weeks: an attending, a resident, and an intern. We just rotated to a new set yesterday. The set for the past two weeks included an intern whose people skills were off the charts, had super-glam clothes, and definitely had the air of someone who had been in the real world for a while before going to med school. Turns out she worked on Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, and then worked for Michelle Obama in the White House. (Because I google stalked her, naturally.) So I caaaasually left my copy of Becoming out when she came to say goodbye. She asked if I knew that Michelle had been her boss and I admitted to google stalking her. She said she would come back again to see me, but it would be a social call. ::fangirling::
Anyway, we were all talking about what if there were an adult version of Make-A-Wish and I could choose any celebrity to come see me? I was running through potential names (Megan Rapinoe? Elizabeth Warren? Michelle Obama? Phoebe Waller-Bridge?) and Calli helped me come up with the perfect person: DOLLY PARTON.
She would totally bring her guitar, and she wouldn't just sing for me, she'd sing for the whole floor. It would be a party! DOLLY.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm sorry, Sheryl. Dinner is often so hard. I think part of it is ltc is exhausted by then.

I am worried about Gud. Even though he doesn't have FB messenger I reached out to him that way hoping to hear from him
Amyth I would like to be added to the WhatsApp group for updates.
Msbelle Target, Wal Mart or Best Buy or even Amazon are places for unlocked phones. Matthew's is a $50 smartphone. It's not the best in the world but it works.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I didn't get anything, amyth. Did you email it to me?
