"If I wear my mask up over my nose, I'll have a panic attack and stop breathing!"

A patient just hit me with that little how-do-you-do. I told him to wear his mask up over his nose while I treated his issue. He grumbled, but complied. Visit lasted around twenty minutes. He had neither a panic attack nor any difficulty breathing.

I even laughed and told him "If you get either, at least you're in the right place for it!"

He actually turned out to be a pretty decent guy. He just had a head full of bad information from people no one should listen to...

Just binged the entire first season of "The Mandalorian".

Great show!

This is the way...

Had to evacuate my home this morning. Big industrial fire down the street.

Currently chilling at my sister’s place a safe distance away. Firefighters are still at the scene.

Anyone else having an exciting weekend?

I love you all…

Argh! It's so frustrating trying to do paperwork in a medical clinic.

I wash my hands probably thirty times a day, and they're always so clean, they just slide right over the paper, and I can't get a grip on it.

Mild annoyance in the scheme of things, but still...

Thank God it's Friday...

Women's rights suppressed, LGBTQ oppression, hairy, bearded men with guns...

Shit, Afghanistan is starting to look a lot like the United States...

Friday Night Vodka Buzz.

Two shots.

And 10mg of cannabis oil...

Feeling well. How about you?

I love you all...

To my beloved Loungers: No drinking thread tonight.

Family commitment. It's probably best that I not partake.

But one thing remains unchanged:

I love you all...

It may be the bourbon talking, but I just wanted to say:

I love you all…

Unreservedly.

You are all so kind to an unworthy, undeserving wreck like me.

I just wanted to spell it out.

Let us drink and be merry, for tomorrow, we die…
