Home visits are always interesting in Palliative Care. No worries about my safety (other than my hearing)…this noise alert was not generated by a human. Any guesses on what kind of creature was this loud? #palliativecare #lcsw
A screenshot of an Apple Watch high decibel alert. It shows that there was noise that topped out at 106 decibels

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

It happens in hospice care. I was present when a few of my hospice patients took their meds. Some of the nurses weren’t comfortable and patients and families had complicated feelings when this happened.

A very tall sunflower in our raised bed. 🌱 #sunflower #bloomscrolling
A very tall sunflower with yellow petals and a dark brown center. The stalk is green with several sets of leaves. In the background is a cloudless blue sky. In the bottom right hand corner you can see the tops of some fir trees.

I think this all part of their grift. Tons of money will be paid out to contractors, with little to no progress. The only forward movement will be for Trump’s cronies to get richer.

A cucumber salad using home grown cucumbers and home grown tomatoes. I don’t know the variety of the cukes but the tomatoes are Cherokee Purple. 🌱 #growyourownfood
A white bowl with thinly sliced cucumbers, chunks of tomatoes, and red onions. A silver fork is across the top of the food.

My pre-social media hobby…also pre children. Hobbies that involve needles don’t mix well with postpartum anxiety (or small children). My parents are moving into a small independent living apartment snd gave these back to me. #craftsky #countedcrossstitch

There is a rating they give to prostate cancer called a Gleason score or scale. I believe it denotes how aggressive the cancer is. His Gleason score was a 9. But you can have a high Gleason and not have metastatic disease.

🌱 The garden this morning. Tomatoes and peppers protected from the unpredictable Oregon weather. And trying to manage my anxiety as my older son heads to North Dakota for his first fire as a wildland firefighter. #gardeningsky #worriedmom
Early morning sky/sunrise. Raised bed garden in the foreground with some plants covered in green frost covers.

I work two days a week doing inpatient palliative care consults. The hospital is on a nice little campus, nestled in a historic neighborhood. Part of that neighborhood is the cemetery behind the hospital. A nice peaceful place to take a walk during the work day. #hapc #lcsw
A gate to a cemetery. Headstones in the distance with trees and blue skies on the horizon.

And I almost forgot Tuteate! They do videos with no voice over. They have instructions in writing on the screen. They actually have their own app which is free but also videos on yt

I also like Good Knit Kisses. She has instructions for loom knitting, knitting and crochet. I’ve toyed with the idea of using her videos to learn to crochet
