If anyone needs any brainstorming I’ve been up since 1:25am and am otherwise going to study amino acids

Despite all mitigation efforts, I believe I will end up sunburned by the end of the day.

My morning meditation was not alone. I feel like this friend is doing a monumental and important task by inspiring me to SLOWly move into the world

I lose my voice when I’m in the house but not when I’m out, since Wednesday. Like I do when I’ve been “catted” or “horsed” which makes me 98% certain the downstairs neighbor’s cat is Spider-Man-ing her way in AND that my dog is a terrible bouncer.

I did thirty minutes of shoveling dirt yesterday and feel like an absolute champion of Being Neighborly. I look forward to the intense DOMS this evening which will be a harmonic of this joy.

The man is watching the passion in Aramaic and this is my punishment for putting the Easter eggs in a bowl of green socks because I refuse to purchase Easter grass.

Crawling into bed with my EMT textbook to read about hazmat and geriatric emergencies and unsure that this “read books on paper instead of scrolling” is a great idea for awesome sleeps…

I have submitted my biochem final video presentation. I am now re-reading trauma for EMT in the hammock, swaddled in so many layers, hoping for spring.

It seems that a significant number of the people I work with take a lot more steps than I do and I think the only way this is possible is standing desk treadmill marathons or dogs wearing the wearables at the park….

I am celebrating the unseasonably warm weather by studying fat metabolism in a hammock on the patio and keep texting people with fun facts* I can’t believe we already know that I’m just learning. Bodies can make brain food out of anything. *these facts are not actually fun for the recipients

In addition to coffee and meditation, my morning routine now includes a moment reviewing what @petebuttigieg.bsky.social said yesterday. I know I say this to everyone, but Pete, I’m so glad you’re here.

Children receive so many more vaccines these days. Is this ok? Short answer: This is ok. Today’s vaccines target more diseases and do so more efficiently than older vaccines. Longer answer: ⬇️ 1/7 @kkjetelina.bsky.social @meganranney.bsky.social @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social @enirenberg.bsky.social

I promised my person I would not work or study this long weekend… so I’ve been walking a very thin line by reading books about the history of ASD that look vaguely like regular books…

I just got my final grade in organic chemistry, which is 89.85% and I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. So far: both.
