Went to the Chihuly Glassworks near the Space Needle in Seattle. Awesome glass sculptures!

Way cooler days than me.
Today I got up, went to the gym to lift, then came home and spent 4 hours taking 2 Chem exams, and an anthropology exam and quiz. Soaked in the hot tub at 100°F for an hour and a half.2 -
Love Chihuly ~ gorgeous!
Ah Nic... back to school. Hot tub sounds divine.2 -
The hot tub would be more divine if it didn't give me a hardcore case of folliculitus. I look like I have chicken pox *sigh *
So tomorrow we get to drain the damn thing, scrub it, then replace all the water and shock it. Was not on my list of stuff to do tomorrow.2 -
Ooh, ouch!!!2

Juneau - cool but sunny. Spotty WiFi though. Having good time.1
-
Don't talk to me about spotty WiFi... crappy-WiFi-phobia is turning what should be joyful planning into a nightmare of anticipation and potentiality!1
-
I feel you both.
Wifi and phone signal is pretty spotty where I’m at. It’s doing wonders to reduce my phone usage though. 😁0 -
Oh nooooooooo..... please tell me you will get good internet for the house!!!!🤯0

You know the idea is for it to be a retreat … Good Internet is maybe not ideal for that scenario??0

Listen cabin in the woods...

It's like a first aid kit!!!!!🤯
You can offer to terminate the internet for the retreating forces!!!!!😎
You then change the password and they can't connect!
Put a lock or glue to any network ports so no sneaky wired connections! 😎1 -
Well, I had my follow-up appointment and bloodwork with my gyn today. Upping my estradiol from 1mg to 2mg and since my TSH is still higher than normal, going to start treating my thyroid too, wheeee. I love being a perimenopausal woman.3

Last cruising day for me! Has been ab-fab, ports - weather - ship, just everything. Today is a very relaxing sea day. Sat in a hot tub on deck and watched a concert on a giant screen. Ocean is very calm.
Tomorrow we disembark and begin our Big Apple adventures - starting with a matinee Broadway show!2 -
My day got absolutely wrecked. I picked up at work under the premise that we'd only have 2 early cases, knock out an easy 4 or 5 hours, then have the rest of my day free for gym, schoolwork, etc. With that in mind, I didn't bring lunch, or the stuff to do my schoolwork. We'll, it's been 12 hours and 10 minutes and I am still here. I had to buy lunch, fortunately I walked to the grocery a block up for that, I didn't get to go to the gym and I accomplished zero schoolwork, even though I had loads of slack time in the morning and middle the day, since I didn't get busy with a patient until almost 5pm. My coworker had a patient from like 9:40-12:30. Yeah, I'll get paid, but ugh.1

Hi folks
Just checking in to say hello and to assure you I'm still alive. My diet has been pretty appalling lately and I've gained a couple of kilos, but luckily I'm only just outside my maintenance range, so it's still retrievable. I definitely hear the warning bells, loud and strident. I'll have some remedial work to do once life gets back to an even keel.
However, watching a person starve to death has given me a new perspective on appetite and weight. I will never, ever, complain again about having a hearty appetite, even if that hearty appetite makes maintaining a healthy weight a perpetual struggle. MIL hasn't eaten more than one or two bites of food per day (sometimes nothing at all) for over 5 weeks now, and on her very best days I can just about coax her to drink one 300 calorie build-up drink. Most days she point-blank refuses all sustenance. Consequently she's now skin and bone, and keeping her comfortable and preventing pressure sores is my full-time, round-the-clock job at the moment. It's gruelling. Lots of medical staff are involved in trying to encourage her to eat, but her obstinacy has beaten them all!
On that happy note, I hope everyone has a good weekend! Don't beat yourselves up too badly if your hearty appetite causes you to eat a little more than you should today...I can think of worse things!3 -

At the airport in Seattle. Waved to PAV and BC from Victoria. Wished we could have met up - maybe next time?
I’ll catch up with posts soon.1 -
Well, my husband somehow is positive for covid (his first) whilst I am negative. He's wearing a mask and we're sleeping in seperate rooms for the next few days, lol2
-
Aah @Bella_Figura tuff stuff there... (hugs)
@Yoolypr - beautiful
@nicsflyingcircus - hope you dodge it, and hubby well quickly.1 -
Note to PAV. Many happy adventures!2 -
Bella - you have my full support and sympathy in caring for a dying person. I went through much of the same with my mom. Not much to be done but provide comfort and palliative care.
Nic- how has your husband avoided Covid all this time? I think I’ve had it at least 4 times even with five vaccines over time. The last bout four weeks ago was the worst. But it’s been nearly a year since the last booster. I need to get the new one and my flu shot. Unfortunately not yet available in my area.1 -
Nods, it is so difficult when we can not stop illness or get well... but the precious time together is profound, and meaningful in ways words can never express.... and never regretted... i just wish we had magic wands...

@Yoolypr I haven't had covid either, and I worked in a hospital throughout. I also tested negative last night. I had to wear a mask at work from March 2020 to end of March 2023 (after Joint Commission came). For two years of that I wore an N-95 or KN-95. I haven't worn a mask in public since like July of 2022 (was required on Canadian flights). No idea how I've dodged it. I am vaccinated and thrice boosted, with plans to get the new booster soon.2

So I had an appointment today to have a diagnosed lipoma (4cm, big boy) excised from my right armpit area. Thing has been there like 10 years, non painful, firm, moveable. Basically, like 4 people minimum, including 2 Drs and a PA, were sure it was a lipoma, plus me, also a Healthcare professional.
So everything is ready, I'm numbed up with lidocaine, the Dr makes his first small incision, and my "turns out not be a lipoma but an infected cyst" sprays the poor PA, including in the face, with nasty fluid.
I felt very bad, despite it not being in any way my fault, but she recovered enough to stitch me up at the end, after which I got to go have a lovely Hepatitis panel and HIV test blood draw.
I also can't go to the gym for a week and can't do uooer body workout for two weeks, so fun times.

What a miserable experience Nic! Nothing like medical surprises. 🫣 At least it’s over and done now.
Hope you heal well and are back to the gym soon.1 -
It wasn't miserable for me, but I felt so bad for the PA.1
-
Ouch Nic... sounds like not cancerous; a relief!1
