All day conference is going great but my tablecloth has a positive halo sign. 😂
(The EMT reactions still run strong. I’m also sitting next to another former EMT, I pointed this out, he told me the tablecloth really should get to an ER 🤣)

Within 30 minutes I was told that DPW was on the way.
I then watched someone from DPW sit in his pickup truck for a while, and I was trying to figure out why he was just sitting there when THIS MASSIVE BACKHOE ARRIVED

Me, minding my own business, seeing if my pediatrician will give my 7 year old a COVID vaccine.
Nurse at pediatrician office: Nope
Me, running an immunization program: Oh, big mistake.

Over the weekend I was lamenting that my package was going to be stuck forever and Hubs went “oh, it’s going to be here on Monday!”
And Lo and behold it cleared Customs!
It missed the plane though so it got stuck in Memphis.

I thought of you when I saw this - I wouldn’t smoke this because ew, stuff growing on it, but the whole “test your pot” doesn’t make a ton of sense. (Test your heroin, sure)

One of the coordinators took my initial hesitation on getting this badge as not wanting to be injured, but I was trying to figure out how to be ambulatory on a traumatically dislocated hip.
Looking forward to making life hellish for whomever comes to rescue me. 🤣

Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist (2023)
You can really see Kevin Sorbo's touch all over this, mostly in the anti-science, anti-journalism takes. Bad script. LOTS of very lazy storytelling through voice-over. Plot is nonsensical if this is a sequel to Cage's film. Buck is an asshole.
