I’m arriving in Minneapolis and actually exiting the airport. I’ve never done that.

Only now realizing that George’s last episode on Grey’s Anatomy had to be at least partially inspired by a season 3 episode of ER.

I love having a deep pantry. It's *just* cool enough for pork and beans. So I grabbed some smoked pulled pork from the freezer (thanks, husband), and added home-canned chicken stock and pinto beans. Tossed in some pasta, then some freeze dried corn. No extra seasoning. Not gorgeous. So delicious.

I wonder if the local private anesthesia practice knows the company they outsourced their billing to has a nonfunctioning payment website, a clear copycat website to potentially scan customers, and a nonfunctioning automated phone system. *goes to write a check

Guess what: I never laid eyes on my gate, was in the bathroom when boarding started, and it turns out the plane was still where it was supposed to be and I could get on it.

My latest binge watch is ER. From season 1. Inspired by The Pitt, I guess. Hulu suggests Doogie Houser should be next. Maybe not a bad idea when I can finish this in like two years.

I would like to thank Ethiopian airlines for cancelling the flight that was supposed to get us halfway to India. Because of that, I was able to get us rebooked on a more direct routing that I originally didn't book b/c it cost 3x more frequent flier miles for no additional fee.

Since The Pitt doesn’t come out till January, I figured I’d start watching ER. I’m halfway through season one.

So I did order that Tom Bihn bag… earlier this week while I was in the hospital awaiting emergent gallbladder removal surgery. 🙃 Good news: had it just in time so I can still go on vacation, and Aaron may need to carry the heavy bags.

After many yrs of business travel, I've decided it's time to switch up my primary EDC (every day carry). Boring to most ppl, but exciting for me. Need to figure out soon, since there's an 84 day stretch this summer/fall where I'm on the road for at least 45 (nonconsecutive) days.

Update: Appeal was successful and now I should be able to save $400+ per month on this prescription. My husband takes the same thing, for very similar reasons. Based on this experience, we sent a full briefing to his doctor to support their prior auth request because insurance is that ridiculous.

Having a meeting every other hour might be the worst schedule for productivity. These single hour blocks are not as effectively used as they would be if I had a 3 or 4 hour block. Or two 2-hour blocks.

@karenhao.bsky.social I’m reading Empire of AI right now, and just finished the part about labor exploitation, and the need to move on to advanced education experts who speak certain languages. Looked what landed in my LinkedIn DMs yesterday. Note: while I have a PhD, I’m not qualified for this.

A child is dead, and the police are like, “but we thought there was a shoplifter in the car!” I’m sure Crump will successfully sue the city for a significant amount, but that won’t bring a child back. Or heal his mother’s trauma. Sick.

Just spent 75 minutes on an appeal to a denied prior authorization for a drug and condition that I absolutely know is meant to be covered under my insurance. It's likely my doctor's office didn't submit the required documentation. But how much time can they spend on each patient fighting insurance?

Planned out our 4 days in Copenhagen in August, and checked the weather for our time there and in Norway. Nice to know that during a summer vacation I will be planning for temps from 30-75 degrees. :) But at least we won't be baking in the August European heat!

In an attempt not to rot in bed all day, I structured my Saturday tasks into 30-minute productivity breaks. It worked! I planned two weeks of meals, got a good start on laundry, got some spring yard cleanup done, picked up my library books, dropped off donations, and caught up on our bills.

Got our last vacation flight of the year booked (our return from India). It cost an arm and a leg in points because I chose convenience, comfort, and schedule over price, but still only $10 out of pocket to fly halfway around the world in business class. Still a fun hobby.

My parents and in-laws were all born within 13 years of each other. And we will lose them all within the same 10-year span. My Dad, the oldest, is going to be the last to go. It’s just a matter of time now. The other three all died too young. Didn’t anticipate mid 30s - mid 40s would include this

Just another Sunday morning managing Dad's health and finances. Made a belated birthday visit yesterday, only to find that the facility is still in the midst of a viral outbreak and he's one of the residents showing symptoms. I hung out in a mask for an hour. Medication was delivered in full PPE.

I know there are more important things, but it is unreal that the president is announcing this via his own personal account on his own personal social media network.
