Heather is 🎶 for Science 🎶

ohnoooooo

😕

that! and even once you have a diagnosis and plan and treatment, wow can yr body throw some surprises with side effects/symptoms 😕 lots of unpredictability.

the number of times I have said Every cancer is different and everybody’s cancer is different (usually to my nearest & dearest). fascinating and also super annoying* And so super complex what happens at the cellular level, that is mind-blowing! and completely sucks 😕

he’s so mad 😂

I was reading something earlier today that reminded me there’s still a lot in health & medicine that’s beyond our control. So even with huge advances in medical science & technology, everything we know about cancer or fertility or whatever, sometimes stuff still just happens. It’s beyond our control

oh this is probably the time to be thinking ahead to summer travel and things like A Week at a Lake, instead of realizing mid-July I would like to be somewhere and it’s too late

oh ew, 😬 🤢 I accidentally swam in the Charles River in Boston once about 30-something yrs ago (unfortunate sailing incident) and 🤢 did not get sick! but was warned to get a hepatitis shot by concerned passersby 👀 (I did not)

yep, there definitely have been environmental causes. hmm now I’m curious also bc a friend was recently commenting on the amount of *stuff* buried all over in this area 👀 Not that I’m trying to start or contribute to a conspiracy theory either! 🙂

okay whatever, I guess it’s kind of nice in the sunshine (now that it is not at the eye-stabbing angle)

Cancer is a massive pain* and the target of a lot of my anger. I haven’t looked seriously into the why/how many of diagnoses, but I do know we hear more about cancer now than historically, so there are probly unknown or hidden family cancer histories. But yeah, I’m with you! >:(

*understatement

🎶 Tech fail! in the Lab 🎶

it’s a sugar and caffeine kind of day

if you used ai to write the instructions for how to log in to the new portal and it gave you a 6 page doc complete with ✨Executive Summary✨, all to explain that you log in with yr CAC/piv as usual 😑

just use ai for routine tasks like writing an email is going to make people stupider

bring back the cloud cover, we have had plenty of hours of sunshine

laughed openly at the street racer driver who kept stalling out in traffic bc they stopped on a slight uphill and couldn’t seem to manage the clutch

I forget how much I hate the sun until it is stabbing me in the eyes

Time is so fake, “oh we added more daylight” no you didn’t, daylight is portioned by the cosmos repent of your hubris

there is not enough coffee in this coffee

precious angel retracted; this monster started the Breakfast Campaign at 0300 bc she apparently did the fall back instead of spring ahead time change

Caramel, a calico cat, looks at the camera. Her face is half black and brindle with a dark orange splotch that goes from her forehead down her face, so face half orange. Her tiny nose is pink and she has a white chin and bib. She has full white whiskers.

my girl usually has a face like she’s about to kill someone but here she looks like the precious chaotic angel she is 😊

Sunset view from a train window: blue sky and orange to pink-ish purple-ish clouds with a single tree with bare branches in the center, surrounded by parked cars.

Metro 🚇 with a view

The Founding Safeways

also we got a Wegmans but they are really expensive

something else finally opened there but I don’t know the brand

we lost our nbrhd Safeway last year and I’m still mad about it
