Last day of clinic before vacation!

Anybody out there? My buzz thread fizzled. Not enough buzz, I guess...

Just need some encouraging words after a disastrous day...

Friday Night Tequila Buzz. Mexican for dinner.

God! Day from hell!

Ask me anything.

I love you all.

I need a vacation…

I finally have what I've been longing for for weeks.

A quiet afternoon in my armchair by the window, listening to the rain come down outside.

Ahh...

Let the healing begin...

Friday Night Gin-Buzz. Ask me anything.

Trying to cope…

I love you all…

Sent a beloved patient to de-tox. Stopped a fight in the waiting room.

Okay, now it's two gin rickeys...

One of the best songs ever about grief and how people can help you through it.

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

Telling patients to put their masks on before entering the clinic. Telling them to keep it up over their noses.

Patient today called mask-wearing the 'craziest thing ever!'

I suppose. Other than dying from preventable diseases, I guess.

Five hours to go. There's a very strong gin rickey at home with my name on it. Plenty of lime so I don't get the scurvy...

Gin does the trick.

"Drunk For A Penny

Dead Drunk For Tuppence

Clean Straw For Free"

Does the US still have a "No First Use" nuclear policy?

If so, then General Milley did the right thing by assuring China that the US would stand by that commitment no matter what Trump wanted to do with our nukes.

General Milley did the right thing.

Let the 'pukes trash him.

We Democrats shouldn't.

Good news: Finally, some rain in Western Washington. Bad news: The clinic roof is leaking.

We're down one exam room for the day.

Good news again: This may keep my schedule from ballooning to Brobdingnagian proportions...
