DD and I are going to see Margot Lee Shetterly speak at Purdue University tomorrow. She is so excited I can't stand it.

The sinus infection (flu?) has hit my house despite high dose flu shots.

I'm enraged at urgent care. I went in when I first was feeling ill. Like always, I explain I take a medication that suppresses my immune system so I'm prescribed antibiotics for even minor illnesses. New doctor. Doesn't even check my meds or previous chart. "Our protocol is that we only prescribe antibiotics immediately for ear infections." I tried to explain that they had previously. Just look. Nope. Just a fake smile and "I hope you feel better soon." Less than 24 hours later and a "real" hospital visit, I have super antibiotics and at least can get out of the bed and walk.

I'm so irate.

A skunk and a racoon got into in my yard this morning. Now my house and everything in it stinks.

skwcm80 I don't know who that is, but I'm happy DD is excited.

childofhiphop So sorry you're sick. Hope you feel better soon

meshaliuknits Yuck to a skunk and a raccoon. Hope the smell goes away soon.

I definitely have senioritis and am ready for school to be over. I'm going to have to summon all of my energy to push through this semester.

I really like this dress, and I'm generally, not into asymmetric hems.  I have no real reason to get it, but I am seriously contemplating it.

Thanks! She is author of Hidden Figures. It will be a super late night but I think it's worth it.

We ended up not being able to get into the event. We got to the playhouse about 20 minutes early and the line was wrapped around a few times. DD was so disappointed. She was trying to hold back her tears and wouldn't stay to try to get her book signed.

Despite the disappointment I'm glad the turnout was so great.

Omg you guys, being a primary care doctor is exhausting! Since I'm a first year and most of our time is spent in the hospital, we only have half days scheduled to see our outpatients in the office.

They give us 30 min for each patient and I just saw 4 in a row and I'm exhausted mentally lol. It would be hard to do that for 8-10 hours straight. And since it was my last patient for the afternoon I took extra time and she was a talker, boy she was a talker. My hat goes off to the psychologists out there that really do listen to people talk all day, I couldn't do it!

I'm definitely going to go in to family planning and public health because the rat race of keeping up with general primary care in our healthcare climate is difficult!

The Rubbermaid spin brush is amazing. Thank you to whomever suggested it!
