    I was raised by two medical professionals – and have been one since 2017 – so being around hospitals and doctors’ offices is just sort of natural to me. To go visit either parent at work meant that I would have to go through a hospital, and even today, that weird, sterile-with-a-hint-of-bandaids smell is calming…

    In honor of the official start of spring last week, I’m going full classical. I mean, this is partially because I need some soothing tones to calm me down after dealing with bullshit work stuff and with the stresses of a new class (hi, physiology!), but that’s only like a smidgen of why I’ve chosen…

    Somehow I got really lucky and inherited the gene for psoriasis, which is a super fun skin condition that is even more fun in the winter when my skin gets dry. It gets even better because I have two kinds of psoriasis: pustular and plaque, although the pustular likes to stay on my hands and…

    For my current job, I have to be up and ready by 7A, clocked in and plugged up to the stupid phone system that they have chosen to use despite the fact it’s terrible. Like, Google Voice would be a better option at this point. So naturally, this means that I need to be awake…

    I found out last week that I have, indeed, been accepted into the accelerated nursing program at the university I’ve been taking prerequisites and will have my BSN by August 2022, with the expectation that I will pass my boards and all that fun shit. Obviously, I am very excited about this, even if it…

    Over on Twitter a little while ago, I got into a discussion about the concept of kayfabe – which is actually the impetus of this “in which I married a con man …” series – and as soon as I typed out that Keith was living on both sides of his personal kayfabe, it was…

    This week is a little jam-packed with school-related things (final week! and then next week, I start anatomy & physiology, so …) so I’m just going to post what I’ll be listening to while I try to survive the last few days of microbiology. 1 – “MEXICAN RADIO” BY KINKY 2 – “REBEL REBEL” BY…

  • 28 day xena: warrior princess challenge, day 28: in which I am inspired by xena: warrior princess …

    As if it could ever be a question, hell yes, Xena: Warrior Princess inspires me. It inspires me to do the best I can with what I have, paired with heart and dedication, and maybe, just maybe, people will fall in love with my work despite its flaws. It inspires me to create stories full…

  • 28 day xena: warrior princess challenge, day 27: in which I would like to see this next …

    I’ve heard of about a reboot of Xena: Warrior Princess for years, and my desire for anything more from the series dwindles by the year. Don’t get me wrong: I absolutely adore this show and will treasure it forever, but it was made and released when it was supposed to, trailblazing for plenty of shows…

    Awww, yisssss … Now, I’m usually more of an epic soundtrack kinda gal, but I love the more emotional bits of Joseph LoDuca‘s work, of which he has made plenty. And yes, before you ask, on the first track, “Burial,” that is Lucy Lawless singing. She even wrote the lyrics, which if I recall correctly,…
