Working all weekend. Long run at some point. Gotta go buy a lamp, which is 900x more difficult than I would imagine.
Ikea is maze like, but they have maps, you'll be ok

Will the lamp be a normal lamp or once have belonged to the 4th Earl of Sandwich? Does it smell faintly of roast beef?Working all weekend. Long run at some point. Gotta go buy a lamp, which is 900x more difficult than I would imagine.
Doing the Xmas tree/decorating thing this weekend. Playing a boxed "escape room" game tonight. Long day of participating in and giving online trainings today, so enjoying a white negroni at this moment.
I haven't. A coworker did one and said its fun. I've done a few of these boxed ones. Generally fun. There's usually one two times per game where we've fail to notice the faintly printed number on a card (even with a magnifying glass) and that can be a bit frustrating. Otherwise, no big complaints.Been doing any digital escape room games? I have been doing a few on my phone and a friend just roped me into a participating in a group "Among Us" game.

My fantasy weekend!!!!! 🤗I'm officially in between jobs, so I went on a 45 mile bike ride, got a hair cut, did some christmas shopping, hit costco for diaps, and then went to REI. I found a pretty cool patagucci vest in the garage sale section that only had a little tear for a steal (they make gear patches that are really good).
I just finished a book called "Fossil Men: The Quest for the Oldest Skeleton" by Kermit Pattison. I really enjoyed it. I love reading about humanities roots.
Happy weekend folks. This week I’ve cleaned up patient vomit, watched a coworker nearly burn down the facility, had a new admission discharge AMA her second day because she had a “108 degree fever” (mmmhmm) and taught a patient how to use Uber. It’s been a wild one.
This weekend I’m going furniture shopping at IKEA for my new apartment, and ice skating with an old friend. Should be fun
Be sure you have the most updated Zoom version, they added video filters so now you can add hats, reindeer antlers, shark mouth, pirate 🏴☠️ eyepatch and lots of other goodies. Spices things up a bit!Consultation work and dumb committee meetings at the College. I'm experimenting with weirder Zoom backgrounds every time until someone says something.
that mead sounds good. I havent done any mead brewing but I'm tempted. I'm bottling a batch of orange peel, pepper, & black tea infused saison (we went kind wild on the brew lol) and testing the aging on a bourbon barrel stout. Had it aging for 2 months now. we will see. I'm a little scared I started it too late in the season to fully take advantage of the flavorMaking some cranberry mead at the moment. Some association work here and there. Contemplating building a few hydroponic tubs.
sounds tastey. I thought about a vanilla brew on the last one but decided against it. I hate that the season for stouts isnt as long as i would like, given the age time.Mead is good, but it's definitely a delay of gratification thing. The bare minimum of aging time is 9 months, but really 12+ months. So, I usually make up few batches every fall/winter to age.
I also started a Vanilla bourbon stout a few weeks ago. Still need at least 2-3 weeks with the oak cubes before bottling. Probably sample sometime next week to see where it's at. I'm also on the verge of a kegging setup. I'd till probably bottle my darker beers, so I can keep some for cellaring, but it'd be nice to keg the IPAs.

I dig woodworking and want to build the bar area, and epoxy the top with brewery memorabilia from all over (been saving stuff for 7 years). so I'm hesitant if I'm considering a new house in the next 3-4 years. but who knows
oh that's fantastic. you'll have to let me know how it turns out. post covid SDN beer swap at a conference, where I will be spending department money to advance my research training appropriately? I 🤐🤫🤥😉We have a family member who sends us a ton of homemade vanilla extract, including a ton of vanilla beans soaking in the extract. After we finished the extract, I soaked bourbon in the vanilla beans for a while to throw into secondary, we'll see how it turns out.
Sounds like a nice bar top. I have some bigger random build in mind, but we're planning on moving in the next 2-3 years, so I'm saving some stuff on the back burner.

Sounds like I'll be needing to plan a visit one of these days. Once there's, like, not a national pandemic and whatnot.
Low key weekend here. Cleaning, maybe put up the tree.
we had to put shock mats around it to protect against the cats....and the kid.
Milgram experiments, Christmas edition.
I've got two grants going in and a report for one before Monday.I'm off for the next 3 weeks, every day is Friday.
I accepted an offer for a specialty clinical position in our clinic. The position is exactly in line with my interests and experience, so I'm SUPER excited.

you're grading WITHOUT a drink?Grading finals and wrapping up the academic quarter. Might need a drink earlier than usual.
Took some time off from clincal work this week and went on some (paid) long runs. Highly recommend.
they also had some Delirium Tremens.

Glad you are liking the new gig, and that they are potential open to change. I'm curious about how things will workout with noon. It's been hard to keep up on exercise and diet for the past 9 months, and the pounds are creeping up there.I'm just gonna shotgun some things out there.
Just finished the first full week at my new job and started my first eval yesterday. Everyone is so nice here. Covid is making some things a chore, but hopefully that'll change with the new vaccine. There are also some legacy procedures from a now retired psychologist (who had been there for over 20 years) that just aren't up to current standards, but all the other psychologists seem cool with advocating change. It just might take some time.
I am going to leave at around 11am today and go for a nice walk before I have personal therapy in the afternoon. This flexibility has been really nice.
I also bought a new vehicle last week. I love it.
I've been doing noom (which is basically calorie counting and weighing yourself every day, plus a psychology informed course that you do daily). It's been pretty helpful - as I really dislike calorie counting. But, I'm down about 5 pounds over two weeks and have been fairly consistent with calorie counting.
So apparently there is something called "Christmas Tree Syndrome." I have literally not been able to take a full breath in at least a week, and have been needing the asthma inhaler 2-3X per day (vs. 2-3X per month, if that). I was very concerned it was COVID, but not other symptoms and things seemed to get better if I left the house for an hour or so, or if I hung out tin the basement (which is not on the same forced air system as rest of house). After discussions with my physician's office, it seems that COVID would not have this pattern of quick dissipation of and return to symptoms, as well as would't respond to zyrtec. Working hypothesis is that I'm allergic to the d**n Christmas Tree! It's actually more likely the result of mold spores blooming on the tree. We got the tree a day after an all day rain storm, so conditions were perfect for mold bloom. It's never been an issue before, but I also do not leave the house, so this is all I'm breathing 24/7. Tree is going outside to the porch later today. Fingers crossed, 'cause this has been awful!
I heard about Noom through an economist I follow on twitter. But, it's really helping me on the diet side of things. I'm actually pretty good with the exercise side of things. My diet isn't bad, but I definitely eat too much - that's where I've always struggled. My clothes are already fitting better.Glad you are liking the new gig, and that they are potential open to change. I'm curious about how things will workout with noon.
