    We keep targeting guns as the modern problem in society. At the same time mental health goes unaddressed. We understand so little about mental health despite billions spent on medications for mental illness. We keep treating symptoms without understanding what we are treating. It's pretty sad to be honest. People are literally getting killed because we just sweep mental illness under the carpet.

    It is sad. We have a female that we often deal with in the town where I work. She is constantly threatening to harm herself. We take her to a crisis facility or the ER; she stays long enough for the dr to say she's fine and she's back out again. The mental healthcare system in the US is a joke.

    I swear the next apocalypse is going to come from a grade school, not a military lab. My daughter brought home a bug that is killing me!

    It went thru super quick, even quicker than they thought. After the night we've had dealing with stupid stuff (not storm related at all), I'm ready to just go to bed and hide for a while

    I may have taken more cold medicine than I should've...feeling a bit fuzzy around the edges. But I can breathe, so there's that.

    In other news, a little shard of bone worked itself up out of my gum and came loose yesterday. I wasn't alarmed that it happened, the paperwork said it might. What did concern me a bit was how jagged this little piece was. Like, what the heck did they do in there? I'm picturing a dentist with one foot propped against my chest, a mallet in one hand and a rusty screwdriver in the other, taking occasional breaks to swig from a flask of moonshine.

    I'm still fighting this cold! At least I'm not as medicated. Nothing like a 72 hour shift on cold medication. Fortunately Easter weekend is usually slow.

    @sufferlandrian I'm sorry you're still sick, it doesn't seem like it wants to let go.

    I'm counting down till 0600 when I hit my two days off

    Man oh man! Hope you all are feeling better! Yeah, you don't wanna know what they do to you while you are under. Youtube a rhinoplasty and you'll know what I'm talking about.

    Canadjineh - I already know. I promise, most procedures aren't that brutal.

    Bethanie - I'm counting down to June 24th when my relief shows up. :smile:

    Finally back on the bike. Really easy zone 1 HR spin in the small chain ring. It felt good. Still have the cough but after a week and a half off the bike I needed to do something. :wink:

    Well, I'll still be at work since I have to make sure he knows how to use everything. However, I don't have to write the records. :smile:

    Well, I can see the bottom of my kitchen sink for the first time this week. It's not an unobstructed view, but it's there. I've done nothing but work, come home, and drop dead all week because of this cold. How does one person even make so many dirty dishes??

    @curvycaloriess @bigoldork -welcome!
    @sufferlandrian - I hope June 24 comes quickly, and that this one sticks around!

    Hey! 24 hours without cold medication! Yeah! I think I'm winning. Wait. Darn, I guess I'll live. :frowning: Guess I'll go back to work again.

    @Jennifer - I'm always amazed at how quickly dishes accumulate at work and how it seems like the same two people are always washing them. Honestly, there are a couple of folks here at work that if they ever invited me to dinner at their house, I'd have to decline. :smile:
