Oh it’s super weird!! Like they asked “have you ever had an EKG” and I said no, and they started to explain what it was to me—I was like yeah, I know that just haven’t had one myself!! But it does make me want to read the protocol, but I’m sure they wouldn’t let me. Also understood when they were like “sorry, can’t do a late appointment Friday because there’s blood draws” that some blood has to ship out that day, and wouldn’t ship Saturday, so they have to do it before the last pickup of the day…

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I joined a clinical trial
Excellent!
clinicaltrials.gov
Yep. Lots of info to be found there.
I am enrolled in the CHAARTED2 clinical trial: [link]

Cool, Daniel! I had sent the link to my sister and she somehow ended up in a completely different study (I guess they were doing a few). I’m excited to be getting this stuff but also not making it harder for actual diabetics to get their meds (since this is investigational it’s a whole other supply)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We went to a concert last night.(James Keelaghan, a Canadian songwriter we've seen a number of times) We enjoyed it.

Happy π Day!
Yay! I normally make quiche, but today I think I will just make pizza because I made sauce yesterday. That counts.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Tim has a doctor appointment later this morning for his spinal curvature, so he's home and up at the same time as me, and I forgot that while I need like 3 hours of caffeine and silence in the morning, he just! keeps! talking! at! me! I would stab him, but I haven't had enough caffeine for that kind of hand-eye coordination.

Normally, I'd provide an alibi for all your stabbing needs, but that dang guy is too fucking adorbs in every way for me to do that. Sorry, my friend.
We have a stand-up at 8a at work that just started this week that is completely borking my morning pool routine... and I think the reasons for doing it can actually be accomplished with a Slack check-in thread that will take about two minutes ef everyone's time per day instead of fifteen (and leave a written trail, which can be useful for assessing one's own progress), so I'm going to make a suggestion today. I get the logic of the whole Agile thing, but... all separate projects! No sprint!
But mostly, it's messing up my mornings.
On the other hand, it could be another sign that I really just need to, ahem, lean in, to going for full-time Freelance Free-range Jen. Face the fear and do it anyway? Perhaps.

My sincerest sympathy. (although Jen does have a valid point)
In no one is going to pity me news, I have been enjoying going over to the beach by myself and having some relax and recline and enjoy the sights and sounds time. Sunday my SIL, MIL and 2 and 9 year old nephews joined me. Not at all relaxing. MIL, who I love, talked nonstop, and kids, well kids. MIL scolding them, while SIL was way more chill. I was exhausted rather than renewed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Probably need a lot of caffeine to be able to kill him with your mind. Which is probably a good thing, in a general way, but frustrating I'm sure.
I am in the office! The drive in was tenser than usual what with the atmospheric river. It's rare that I glance at my speedometer and am surprised by how slowly I'm going on the freeway
