Happy Sunday!!!! We Have A Parturient Today So My Partner And I Are Doing Shifts Every 3 Hours To Monitor

happy sunday!!!! we have a parturient today so my partner and I are doing shifts every 3 hours to monitor the fetal heart rate and contractions of the baby. it’s my turn now to labor watch until 1pm, then I’ll probably study again. did a serious study session in the OR pantry from 7am-10am because I wasn’t able to study yesterday.

I did self-care stuff and pampered myself (got a facial, hair treatment, etc etc) which I thoroughly enjoyed!!!! the bliss of taking care of one’s self to a date. I also cleaned my condo unit and did a huuuuge chunk of laundry and that made me very happy!

for tonight I’ll probably go through what I studied today, revalida style, fold clothes, and maybe gym or study some more whichever I’ll be in the mood for tonight. good things, good things. last 14 days of clerkship!!!!

“Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the “good life”, whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.”

— Hunter S. Thompson

One of the worst parts of current internet culture is that it makes good old fashioned complaining so difficult. I don’t wanna cancel anyone or bully anyone, I’m not trying to form a hate mob I’m not calling anyone out, i just wanna bitch about something. Because complaining is fun, good for you, even. Is that too much to ask? Where is the room for shooting the shit?

99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.
