Intro post:
Hi, I'm Jenny and I've been told I'm a goddamn delight. There is no rhyme or reason to what I post, but some topics include:
Pharmacy
Mental health
Lupus
Queerness (specifically being queer in Utah)
Post-Mormonism
My cats
It's a weird list, but trust me, it works

The silver lining to this whole situation is the realization that I have very few regrets about how I've lived my life.
That's not to say I haven't made mistakes - lord, have I ever made mistakes - but rather, I don't regret where I've focused my energy.

Update: the biopsy came back benign, but the oral surgeon was still concerned enough to send a picture of my lesion to an ENT who specializes in oral cancer. I got a phone call from the ENT's office the next morning telling me to drop in any time that day so he could take a look at it.

I had a biopsy this morning on a very persistent sore in my mouth. They recommended ibuprofen for the pain, which would be lovely were I not on blood thinners. I asked for tetracaine lollipops, but they aren't quite taking the edge off the pain.

"It could be squamous cell carcinoma" was not on the list of things I was hoping to hear at my doctor's appointment today.

I might have the opportunity to jump from specialty into oncology. #PharmSky what would you do? It's a lateral move, so no pay increase - just a different team.

This is a list by Uncut magazine of the top 40 albums from the '80s I think this is a solid list. What would you add?

In 2023 my best friend wanted to surprise me with a Christmas present, so @jtulley.bsky.social told her to send it to his mom's house (so sneaky!). My MIL didn't look at the address label and opened the box. This was my gift:

I had a 4-day weekend right as I ended a high-dose prednisone burst and let me tell you, that was a glorious experience.
No sarcasm. The general feeling of well-being I had during those four days was remarkable. I (mostly) love being on prednisone. Too bad the long-term side effects are so awful.

Good morning, friends. It's a slightly snowy day and I'm preparing to go to brunch with one of my favorite people. How are all y'all doing?

Well, this has been a weird day for me on BlueSky. If you were supportive, thank you. I probably wont scroll through replies to follow people back, but if you're a real person please continue to interact so I can get to know you (but maybe on a day that's not today, k?)
