For those of us who worked in ICUs during COVID, watching the character assassination of a leader who strove to provide counsel through a crisis has been deeply painful. It is even more disheartening when such rhetoric comes directly from a trustee of your own university.
Indiana air quality not the greatest right now and tomorrow likely to be the same Adjust your plans accordingly Make sure you take your inhaler (if that applies)
This is the time graph of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) in the air in Crown Point, Indiana over the last 48 hours PM 2.5 particulate matter, when high, is correlated with a spike in cardiac and pulmonary health issues These extreme weather and fire events are a result of our choices
My suggestion for a starting lineup for Thursday's USMNT game against Turkiye based upon the following assumptions: 1. We have won the group 2. Turkiye has been eliminated 3. We have 4 on yellows 4. Pulisic is recovering still
Weekly phone screen time update Had a hiccup a couple weeks ago- was traveling without my computer and had a lot of "what the heck is that?" and "how do we get there?" type phone time But I'm back on the horse
Indiana gas prices over time If this is what winning feels like I am ok with going back to losing #HoosierSky
I HAVE CROSSED THE PHONE SCREEN TIME RUBICON Last week my average was below 30 minutes of daily time with my screen on and unlocked I am very proud of this and TBH this feels like a change I can sustain
This week I was able to get to under 1 hour of daily screen time SOLIDLY (average 56 minutes per day) for the first time since I started this odyssey on January 1 More details on how I did this on the following posts (it entailed a different app, which does a much better job of collecting the data)
I cold stratified some Japanese Maple seeds from my backyard and I have seedlings Holy crap
Weekly screen time update This is hard Going to try to focus on pickups this week (clearly a leading indicator)
Weekly screen time update- week 10 I remain barely over 1 hour per day but it is getting much easier I will soon easily average below 1 hour daily
Ugh hovering just over 1 hour per day I will get there but this is hard
Prepared my middle of the night prep and my daughter was unimpressed
Fell back a bit this week but still getting much better Now also tracking number of times I pick up my phone daily (it is obscene)
I went to the EPA's website to read the text of the final rule rescinding the endangerment finding I clicked the PDF link of that rule and got this The incompetence is heroic
Yay I did it this week!! 1 hour per day of phone screen time It took me 6 weeks to establish the habit Now I work on clawing my average down to less than one hour daily...
Ugh I thought I did it this week Down to 1 hour 6 minutes per day Regardless I have reclaimed a lot of my life Next week I will succeed
In South Carolina: There are currently 920 cases of measles (90% kids) 89% of children are vaccinated against measles 95% of those infected are unvaccinated Read the two lines above again to yourself slowly and think about what it means (hint: the measles vaccine works amazingly well)
The Alex Pretti gathering at the Indianapolis VA tonight was terrific There were over 100 of us and it was 18 degrees Not bad for a vigil that came together organically without an organizer
