Middle of everywhere. Where Oz was from. Possibly a cat in another life. Will travel for bird, food, and beauty. Amateur birder. All images and ideas are mine. Not a professional account.

I got a box of cheap oil pastel for $4.99. I think this medium suits me a lot more than acrylic, watercolor, color pencil, and maybe even oil! 😮

I used to think that because my better half was like Charlie Brown (not the bald part), I must be Lucy.
Now I think I want to be Snoopy.
Actually Garfield.
I want to be lazing around. Write. Tell stories. Eat. Sleep.
All day long. 😅

AI for therapy documentation is like taking the branch for the root.
An increasingly cumbersome set of documentation requirements is the issue. In the guise of accountability, therapists are forced to waste time on unmeaningful notes. Letting AI do it will only encourage more bureaucracy.
