halloween 2024

Still listening to:  vampire – Olivia Rodrigo

I’ve made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should’ve known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you’ve made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, famefucker
Bleedin’ me dry, like a goddamn vampire

I mentioned yesterday, that I didn’t have a Halloween costume prepared because I was anticipating on going on holiday but that had to be canceled due to work reasons.  Since I got the text at work about dressing up and bringing snacks/appetizers, I rummaged through my belongings and found my Gengar beanie.  My pediatric patients loved it.

If I look unwell, it’s because I am. No makeup or anything.  Just SPF.  I didn’t even brush my hair. I think all the gluten that I’ve been eating as of late has made me fatigued but also very bloated. It’s literally giving me carb face.  It’s like I can’t sleep enough.  I’d woken up this morning and pushed the snooze button twice, despite going to bed early last night.

I am becoming a narcoleptic baby and the only thing keeping me up is Vietnamese coffee.  I felt like a hypocrite telling my patient to cut down on his caffeine consumption, when I’m over there guzzling my second cup of coffee.  But to be fair, he was drinking 10-12 cups (10-12 oz) of coffee within an eight hour period and energy drinks on top of that.

Coworkers had the nerve to bring fresh donuts from Krispy Kreme.  I couldn’t resist the Slimer donut with the tart lemon jelly inside.  I don’t like sweets but damn it’s been years since I had a lemon jelly donut.  They are going to be the death of me.  It’s a good thing that I don’t have Celiac disease.  Also, because I’ve been eating all this food, I’ve had to exercise more to continue the caloric deficit regimen that I’m on.

I was going to go out with friends after work but I couldn’t do it.  I still have work in the morning and I wasn’t feeling 100%.  Maybe, next year…
