Currently listening to: Always on my mind – Pet Shop Boys
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely lonely times
I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you’re mine
What has been on your mind lately?
Prompt snagged from: TCMC
As I’m getting my BLS recert done (every two years), I can’t help but think about the people (adults, children, and babies) I’ve done CPR on. The ones who survived, I wonder where they are now. And the ones who didn’t make it, I think about who they were before everything went sideways. But I guess I’ll never know…
I think about what I did to myself. My schedule is packed for the rest of the year and I’ve got no one to blame. I did that. At least I was able to carve out a day a week with no work and no extracurriculars so I can sleep, relax, and do absolutely nothing. Since Halloween, life has gotten hectic and it almost seems like a blur.
I think about coffee. Specifically, Philz. Their Unfiltered Soul hits hard. I swear the caffeine content is much higher than other coffee shops. I’ve already had to grab one this week when my mid-day slump tried to take me out. As soon as I took a few sips, I was wide awake like someone hit the reboot button on me. Their pour-overs are no joke. The first time I tried their Mint Mojito in SF, it felt transcendental.
I think about how the EPA approved more forever-chemical pesticides for food crops. Corporations generate significant revenue by using PFAS (forever chemicals). I had to educate a pharmacist about what forever-chemicals were and how it affected the body. These are basically synthetic chemicals that don’t break down in the body, which causes chronic inflammation, cancers, elevated cholesterol, fertility issues, and more. Our food and water aren’t safe any more and I question whether organic will really be organic in the near future. There’s a reason why Canada has restrictions on food imports from the U.S. They don’t want our filthy slop. And if I’m going to be honest, I don’t want it either.
I laughed while I read RFK’s erotic poem(s) about felching Olivia Nuzzi. I literally cannot make this shit up. Hey, RFK, how about MAHA (Make America Healthy Again)?
I think about the two presentations I have coming up. In person, which I despise. Put me on TEAMS or Zoom and I’m okay, but in front of a room full of higher-ups I’ve never met? Groan. I was voluntold to create a slide deck and present on two HEDIS metrics that I’m working on. I’m definitely bringing my fidget ring as emotional support…
And lastly, I think about love. A lot. Le sigh. For those in love, what’s it like?
