Mom (BookNerd, 12 & #LittleGuy, 5!) Former Family Doc/#OldMedTwitter NOW #AddictionMedicine. Cannot abide for-profit medicine. This is my unprofessional account. 😏 So if you think you know me IRL, no you don’t. WNC -> Coastal NE
I STILL #amreading this. The systemic forces contributing to homelessness (and drug use) was FINALLY mentioned on pg 300, but glancingly, of course. He continues to quote people who, like him, prefer to blame the drugs… And this passage/quote: ‘their visibility was an expression of their addiction’
One last thing: we KNOW this is my kid/I raised her…but also who doesn’t love a goal to work towards with a defined reward?? I asked her how many classes she needed to do before she earned a piece of merch (the new crop T’s are especially cute…). She said 15, but I had thought 10, so 12 it is!
What made this a Brunch Burger and not just Leftovers of a Questionable Age? I ate it before noon.
I think it was @mrspac.medsky.social who said she is raising ‘Living Room Children’, which has kind of helped me reframe my sense that my life has been taken over. (We decided to switch out the little folding table for the ‘digger desk’ so #LittleGuy has a better place for Legos/art downstairs)
There is a graphic designer who made a CAREER out of mining bad reviews of amazing places…started with US National Parks posting on instagram and has published several books now, including an international one.
I’ve been left home from the traditional town 4th of July Field Day Games to finish getting ready for our (Backyard) Cookout. I am, of course, doing ALL the completely necessary deep cleaning…because what if someone walks through the kitchen on the way to the bathroom and sees the dirty cabinets??!
#AmReading this at my daughter’s martial arts class…I find myself feeling resistant to it somehow. Like I’m skeptical of the author. 🤔 #TheLeastOfUs
Did I add the spinach salad so my plate would look prettier? Yes, yes I did. However, it meant I had 3 little cherry tomatoes and a handful of spinach with my breakfast, so let’s just not question the motives for #HealthyEating…
Update: I’m kind of getting tired of jeans, but I’m NOT a quitter! (Except I might wear a patriotic dress today…)
Like I think it requires neverending cleaning/tidying in the course of ALL your daily activities…and it seems I am the ONLY one who does this. Obvs the full-grown adult spouse cannot be (re)trained, but maybe there’s hope for the 12 yo??
You guys should be grateful for my friend David. Otherwise I might share my #Wordle every day and wax poetic about how #LittleGuy is destroying my strategy on HERE… Wordle 1,816 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Omg. They would run out so fast…I used to say I didn’t have exes, more like Ys (or more accurately WHY NOTS)…they’d tear me apart for my finances and my inappropriate language though.
For some of us, our screen time is our secret shame…don’t want it advertised in the middle of the living room…or more accurately, I like that the ‘TV’ ‘disappears’ when I turn off the projector. Also less disruptive to be in the same room with the annoying kids show if the screen is facing AWAY…
There was a time when anything less than a 20-30 minute run seemed like a waste of time. But life/fitness is different now. Also, I am on a team for a #StepChallenge at work and those other ladies are SMOKING me. #runchat -ish
