Currently listening to: Possession – Sarah McLachlan

And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I’ll take your breath away
And after I
Wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear

What are three things you’re allowed to be bad at without apology?

Prompt created by yours truly. 
Feel free to use any prompts for June that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses.

I suck at spatial orientation. I get lost even with Google Maps giving me directions. Please don’t tell me to “head North on…” because IDK where North is. I can’t even find the North Star for the love of God. And def don’t give me a Thomas Guide.

Don’t pay attention to all the scratches on my watch.

Taking care of myself. Like am I even alive? I can care for others but not myself. Yeah, yeah I know: “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”

Unfortunately, I’m living that #anemialife. My hemoglobin is sitting at 8.3 g/dL and it needs to dip below 8 before my medical insurance will approve an iron infusion. Otherwise, it’s thousands of dollars per infusion out-of-pocket… which at this rate, I might end up paying for it because I’m tired AF. And yes, I take iron supplements.

Remembering names. I see so many patients a day, a week, a month, a year. At the end of the day, they all become one giant patient to me. I can remember their faces, symptoms, medications, allergies, and treatment plans. But I can’t remember their names worth shit.

    Yes i am bad with names too and remembering movies I have seen. Also actors. My sister gets a kick out of it when I call an actor or actress by the wrong name. So, i can relate. Well, brain injury is not easy. I forget.
