Finally received the professional photos from the Valentine’s shoot, and it couldn’t be better timing.
May I present, in order: Perfect Pair Paloma, Be Mine Basil Smash, Cupid’s Cosmopolitan, and French Kiss (Kit Royale).

Bartended tonight for the first time in a while. Was pretty busy, but not overwhelmingly so. Come home to count my tips…$341. Add that to their $185 bill and I made $175/hour…without doing compressions or being pissed on.
Had a woman tell me today, verbatim: “All frontline healthcare workers are being given Plaquenil, that’s a fact.”
Interesting since zero of my friends are on it, most of whom are frontline providers. Thoughts Twitter?

Amazing how my anti-vax, anti-mask “southern” RN friend is suddenly changing her tune now that her daughter is in ICU.
She’s an ICU nurse for f*^+’s sake!
Saw my PCP today and, after dropping weight, I asked if he was pleased with the number on the scale. Hint: I’ve lost 68 lbs and am currently the same weight I was sophomore year in college as an athlete.
Everyone around me has started making comments.
PCP said lose 20 more.
So I think I’ve made a decision. Juniper’s surgery is Tuesday morning but I’m considering not having the tumor sent to path. She is 8-9 years old and 90 lbs. Even if I could afford chemo, I don’t want to put her through that, & it likely wouldn’t give us much more time.
Two years ago today I was assaulted by a family member. It was a complete surprise as this person has never acted out sexually in the past, so I feel like I should be over it. No wonder I’ve been a mess the past few days….
Serious question: do y’all ever get so mad at your partner that you are fuming and just want distance for 24-48 hours? Asking for a friend.
It’s me, I’m that friend.
Sometimes people question my career choice, which is fine. I have degrees but don’t use them, and some people look down on that. Again, that’s fine.
Tonight we worked for 3 hours and my profit was over $700.
No offense but I sure as hell never made that as an RN.

I did it y’all, I ordered “the dress” I’ve been looking at for months. Wedding in July (Long Island) so what do you think? Ceremony in afternoon, reception in the evening.

Apparently I’ve met my “plan limit” for Zofran and now have to pay out of pocket. I have no idea how or why, but I sure hope that doesn’t apply to all my meds or shit is going to get bad real, real fast.
I’m not okay y’all. Hurting so bad I’m in tears yet I’m gaslighting myself. Is the pain really that bad? Am I just a wuss? Mom had stage IV cancer, this is nothing compared to that and she never cried. Maybe I should just take some Motrin and risk the bleed.
You guys! I just went to see a new dentist and holy shit, I have some hope. She said she wanted to test a few places (jaw, neck, traps) and when I said “yes they hurt, but no more than my usual chronic stuff.”
She looked at me and said “that’s not normal, they shouldn’t hurt.” 🤯
I am finally coming to terms with the fact that my chronic pain and migraines are never going to go away. My bedroom is my retreat, my safe space, so I’ve decided to make it a bit more lively. Do these lights look juvenile? Yes. But they “spark joy” so I’m here for it.

Well, Eugene, it’s 0.1 over “normal”
Also, BMI is not always the best indicator of health and weight. It does not take into account those of us with muscular builds.
Okay so The Man just gave me the go ahead to find out more about Lily. I called the shelter and left a vm, said I would like to come meet her on Tuesday. 😃
Finally spoke to the vet: mast cell tumor but was removed with clean margins. Need to watch closely for future eruptions but for now we’re doing well.
My body shook the entire time we talked 😖 but I’m happy Juniper is okay.
Just found out a friend of mine passed away this afternoon. She had been battling cancer the past six months, none of us saw it coming this fast.

Look what I ordered for Valentine’s Day y’all. I have a friendor (vendor/friend) who owns a charcuterie company and she put this together for us. Usually they’re more complex but I am limited on what meats and cheeses I can eat (migraines and allergies). It was SO good!
Can someone please explain the national drug shortage to me? Are we truly short on, well, a lot of meds or is it because pharmacists are overworked? I’m truly trying to understand. Had to call FIVE different CVS stores yesterday to get Fluconosole, which seems crazy to me.
Ever wonder what a migraine aura looks like? Mine are like these, almost always in the left eye. Sometimes there are zig zag lines rather than the rainbow but it’s similar.
#migraine
Stopping your psych meds because you “feel better” is like refusing to pay the electric bill as the lights are currently on and you expect them to stay that way.
I said what I said.
Today I am feeling guilt over not having any children. As a person with endometriosis and Factor V Leiden, I was told my chances of carrying to term were very slim.
Am I just selfish? I could have done IVF or adopt. 😔

Last Uber I took, the driver kept touching my leg. I was taking it to the hospital to pick up my car as I had been in the ED the night before.
I contacted Uber right when I got home and he was supposedly reprimanded, but I haven’t taken one since.
Visited a new venue today and was doing great until the owner approached, she was wearing patchouli. I have very real physical and emotional reactions to that smell, it was all I could do to finish the tour.
I’m now sitting in my office trying to keep the tears back.

Your new policy is frustrating. The way our home is constructed, it requires we have two different Wi-Fis/two different IP addresses. With your new policy, we can no longer use our shared account despite being loyal customers for many, many years.

Should I feel shame about not being a mother? Because I feel like that’s something I’m supposed to feel but I don’t. On a good day I run, do yoga, work, and take care of 3 dogs. On a bad day I’m mostly in bed. Never thought that was conducive to having a baby so I skipped it.
Surgery Update: I’m in PACU and everything went well, they were able to explant the neurostimulator with no issues. Saw a friend while in level 1 PACU and got a much needed hug.
Going home soon, they said there was no reason to stay.

In recent weeks I’ve been struggling to make it even a half day in the office, most of my time was spent in pain. On Tuesday I had my ketamine treatment. So far today I have done 30 minutes of yoga, push-ups, walked a mile on the treadmill, and watered all 3 gardens.
@DrNancyGlass1
He’s a runner and I swear he looks down on patients that aren’t in as good of shape. Today he said “I’m sure you feel better!”
Yeah dick, I did, until you made this appointment about me still being fat.
