    I know I said I was gonna kinda take a backseat and figure out what I wanted to do with this site, but YouTube music has really been giving me a lot of excellent music selections that I want to share with everybody. Granted, I’ve also been listening to a bunch of random music that…

    A lot of shit has happened over the past 30 days. I’ve been busy with work, completed ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) training finally, was invited to be a bridesmaid to my friend’s destination wedding next year (eep!), and I got Covid a second time, which basically depleted the rest of the PTO that was…

    Well, I went to Bonnaroo this year! Will I go back again? Probably, actually, if the lineup intrigues me as much as this year’s did. Was it as iconic as other years? I mean, not really. Sure, Sofi Tukker, Lil Nas X, Rina Sawayama, the Pixies, Tyler Childers, Kendrick Lamar, and the Foo Fighters gave…

    I feel like my kidney stone became a part of my personality about three months into dealing with her. People would ask me how I was and would often include, “is Karen still with us?” Anytime someone would ask me to go somewhere with them, I’d be like, “well, I hurt a lot so I…

    Back when I was first being treated for Karen the Kidney Stone, when she was merely 8.4 mm and when I didn’t have hydronephrosis, I felt it was a little weird that I wasn’t being referred to a specialist, especially since the kidneys are finicky fuckers, but I kept my mouth shut and took the…

    So I went to the emergency department (ED) today literally right at the beginning of my shift because I 1) was diaphoretic, 2) was tachypneic, 3) had tunnel vision, 4) was dizzy, 5) was nauseated, and 6) felt tingling/numbness in my fingers, right before I got blinding flank pain and nearly passed out in front…

    So did y’all know that working nights absolutely sucks? Because it does. I honestly thought I wouldn’t mind it – I mean, no management, slower pace, patients are sleeping, etc. – but now that I’ve been on the graveyard shift for a little over two months, I’m about to lose what little sanity I have.…

    challenge

    For every day of last month, I decided to do another selfie challenge, partly because I was really down on how I looked and felt about myself and partly because I remember how fun last year’s selfie challenge was. Although I didn’t get as artsy-fartsy as I did in 2022, I had a lot of…

    How. How is it already May. I am legitimately dumbstruck as to how fast this year is moving. Like it seems both like yesterday and also a year ago that I broke up with Frat Boy Douche (that was back in January), and I feel like I just went to nights less than a week…

    I lost my keys on Wednesday and didn’t realize it until Saturday afternoon. First of all, I didn’t need them since 1) I was in Savannah, 2) we took my sister’s car, and 3) I didn’t actually get into a car at all until Saturday. Second, I have a very good reason that they suddenly…
