Quick B-Day Wishes

[liz_marcs]

Happy B-Day ponderslife.

My your day be full of fine wine and aged awesome cheese.

Oh, and figure skaters in sparkly costumes! The more screaminly ugly, the better!

Now, I must crawl to the couch and zone really hard. I was up to my eyebrows in work today and my brain is short-circuiting on the neuron front.

Also, I fear looking at my Flist. I'll have to go back 30 pages to read everything and my eyes are bleeding, too.

Oh, and the conversation about why people write what they write is an awesome read.

And finally, a little wellness tip from me to you:

Never, ever, ever open an illustrated medical dictionary while you're eating lunch. And whatever you do, don't be looking up something like "staph skin infections" with a forkful of fresh fruit goodness hovering in front of your mouth.

Just don't. 'Kay?

Not that I'd ever do something that dumb. Really. Nope. Not me.

It's just something I heard that's a good idea. Sounds like sage advice to me.

Never, ever, ever open an illustrated medical dictionary while you're eating lunch LOL. something only those of us in the medical professions would do, eh?
Reminds me of a time when a bunch of us were having breakfast in a restaurant after a very horrendous shift in ICU. We'd had a particularly gruesome arrest, blood and gore all over the floor kind of thing...we were of course discussing it in great detail, when we heard a subtle gagging noise from the folks in the booth behind us..heh.

Thanks, hon! It has been a day of gustatorial indulgences -- treated to teppanyaki lunch by my co-workers, then filet mignon dinner by H, to be followed soon by the best chocolate mousse in the world (IMHO ;)

And lots and lots of birthday wishes by my LJ friends, so I am a happy camper. ::hugs you::

But you know what? There have been very few truly hideous costumes this skating season, so far... I tell ya, they're slipping! ;)

I don't know that specific one, but I know that effect. It happened to me with the crime scene photo of Jack the Ripper's last victim. Normally I have a strong stomach, but that really did it to me.

Good luck with that brillo!

Oh, poor susceptible baby!

Hey, speaking of generous wellness tips, I've been meaning to ask you -- did the fridge purge and reset of the temp solve your chronic crappy-feeling?

MRSA

Try contracting that in a back wound, having to have rotting flesh cut out of your back, and then have idoine poured in the wound before they attempt to stich you back together again.

And then when you're up and about again, have the idoine bandage in your back fall out, and your guest at the time think something's dropped out of your back.

That's gross!

Never, ever, ever open an illustrated medical dictionary while you're eating lunch. And whatever you do, don't be looking up something like "staph skin infections" with a forkful of fresh fruit goodness hovering in front of your mouth. Words to live by.

Also? Don't watch Bones while eating Long John Silvers. Or any type of food. 'Cause...yeah.

See... here I feel the two of us differ... I think medical goodness if fun and nifty. And will happily watch open abdomenal surgery while munching on whatever we have in the breakroom.

I have, in fact, spent lunch hours discussing the color of that liver and/or poking the gigantic fatty mass with a fork to watch it jiggle.

But I'm sick and disturbed.
