getting back into the routine this week is brutal. I'm in charge of Sam's medication and care while Becka is back in the classroom with the chill'un.

Any of y'all responsible for caring for a loved one while working... props to you. this shit is hard.

and while I'm at it, I don't think I properly had the chance to say it, but if you're a medical professional out in the fediverse, or a nurse/aide you have my sincere thanks as well.
we act like cybersecurity is a shitshow, but life throws you guys haymakers too.

like literally. THAT ADVENTURE IN THE ER WAS A FUCKIN' NIGHT LET ME TELL YOU.

My nurse for the evening was a fuckin huge russian dude named Sergei. I HAD THE BEST FUCKING TIME ONE COULD HAVE WHILE DEALING WITH A LIFE THREATENING PRBLEM.

I heard Sergei and the other nurses in my wing had to throw down with a dude who refused to cooperate in the ER. some shit was going down. Meanwhile, I was trying to pee in a plastic bottle because they told me to.

and, guys, I shit you NOT. I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD. Sergei came to check vitals at like 3 in the morning. My BP cuff was acting up and giving me bad results that we both knew weren't right. and I hear him say under his breath, softly
