I like infectious diseases, crafts, and food. Probably in that order. Jersey girl, NOLA expat, now a Portlander.

I’m supervising a high school intern this school year. He comes to the office on Weds and 1 Mon/ month. Only realized today was his Monday in the office when I got a text from him asking to be let in. I was working from home. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks to e-bike, I was able to get over here in about 20 min.

Woke up in a panic at 4:30 am when I remembered that I had a presentation this morning that I hadn’t finished the slides for. Got to work early, finished slides. Computer crashed and wouldn’t restart, so I had to present on my phone without slides or notes. Happy freakin’ Friday!

I usually go into the office on Thursdays, but it became Fall all of a sudden this week and I can’t find my rain pants. So work from home it is! 🌧️

Turns out I’m not coming to NOLA this weekend after all. Hoping I can come down for the rescheduled second line, but will wait until things are more official before making my travel plans.

Booked a plane ticket to NOLA for the Krewe of Dolly’s second line. I renewed my membership last week with the intention of skipping Carnival parades in 2027, but I can’t skip this.

Intellectually, I knew we couldn’t keep her on this plane forever, but it hurts to lose Dolly from this world.

The Citizens United ruling continues to have far-reaching impacts. Companies make our food supply less safe through legislative delays and political influence, causing illness and burdening our health systems. If you’re tired of the graft and greed, you’re not alone. 70 days til midterm elections.

My cousin took me to his super secret U-Pick spot out in the country today.

Had a wild weather/atmosphere day yesterday as we drove to Bend. Wild fire smoke was visible as soon as we got out of Portland. It continues to get thicker and darker as we drove further south.

I’d really prefer to have public health experts score my grant applications than some political party’s goons.

Took our bikes on a bus ride this afternoon (then rode home via the Springwater Trail).

Yesterday I received requests to revise work plans for 3 of my federal grant applications w/ a turnaround time of 5 business days. By the end of the day, I received notices of award for all of them. In case you’re wondering how well the basic systems of the federal government are working these days.

CDC is cutting funding for one of my programs by nearly 50% for the next budget year… which starts next week. Hope your work day is going better than mine!

One of our CDC project officers told us that he’ll be out for the 3 months as he’s being deployed for Ebola response. On the one hand, I’m glad to see the US helping with the response. On the other, I hope project officer will be OK! I hope they can get this shit under control quickly.

I felt off all morning and figured it was just because I was having trouble getting back into the weekday groove after being away for the weekend. I just realized I only drank about 1/3 of my cup of coffee today. 😳

I bought this squeezy bottle of condensed milk last weekend and have already used like half of it making Vietnamese iced coffees.

The office is usually a ghost town on Fridays. But today, I’m here, my boss is here, and my boss’s boss is here. Why? Public health knitting club meets at noon.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

Forgot I owned this shirt (purchased when I accompanied my ex to a test launch). Happy landings to the Artemis crew!

Right after Roe was overturned, every reproductive justice advocate I know warned that they’d be coming for contraceptives next. It’s happening. Pay attention.

Not super excited about 4 days of measles exposure at my local grocery store. There have been several measles exposure events recently in the Portland metro. Please, please, please get your family vaccinated! www.oregon.gov/oha/erd/page...

I honestly can’t remember a time in my adult life that I’ve been this sick. Fever for 7 days straight. Negative for all the usual suspects: COVID, Flu, RSV. 🤒 Going back to the doctor tomorrow.

After a week of letting me breathe on him, it appears the bf has caught whatever evil thing I have. I just sent him out to get some zinc (and saltines and ginger ale for me).

One of our federal grants is due next week. My team finalized the documents yesterday so they can go up the bureaucratic chain for approval. Just this morning I received a note from the grants manager that they’ve updated the application guidelines. 😑

I did 3 loads of laundry today, and now they are all on the bed waiting to be folded. Guess I need to get to folding if I want to take to the bed for the evening. Being an adult blows sometimes.
