Bicoastal Musings and other Shenanigans

I could just kiss you. 😍
D'aww. That's sweet!

I've spent a lot (A LOT) of time with family members in various hospital stays, I'm the "I'm going to stay as long as possible" person, and seeing what nurses and doctors and everybody else in the business has to deal with on a regular basis gives me a great admiration. Not the least of all because of, let's say, certain overwhelming global medical complications lately that put a lot of stress on people who don't deserve it.

I do special pops. It’s a different kind of stress.

Oh god I can only imagine. I helped take care of a grandparent through their difficulties, and that was before the world turned upside down. I saw...a lot. You have even more of my affection and respect now :)

And you get more love for that.

Thank you :)

It was a process that made me absolutely terrified of getting old (memory care, physio rehab, palliative care). So many people have no idea just how bad things around the corner might be, once those systems become even more overwhelmed just out of the sheer number of people getting older.

Also lol woops. Too dark for this bright sunshine thread! No more! :)
 
I work hospice.
Look, end of life doesn’t have to be bad.
It’s a time that should be celebrated for what it is.
I hope I bring that with me when I solve problems.
Okay you're now my third or fourth favorite person on this site. Maybe tied with second.

A younger me would have let a hospice worker do whatever she wanted with me 😊
 
Maybe adding some goat cheese? 🥰
See...you get it. True story time...I used to think all dates were like what you got bagged in your local grocery store. Then I bought some direct from a farm. Holy fuck...the taste isn't even the same. If anyone doesn't like dates...the chances are they never had good ones. Then...I went off the deep end. My God...you can taste differences with different date varieties. Just like you can taste differences in different cheeses. Who the fuck knew? I spent 40 years lost in ignorance

I think I may need to do some date tasting. I generally have not been a huge fan tho I don't mind them as an ingredient
