Finally got a night warm enough to watch an outdoor movie. Oldest is loving it, youngest was being a jerkface so she went to bed. Watching the Greatest Showman. Tomorrow is the last of my 6 days off. Then i work 7 shifts every other. View attachment 4991
Reminds me of when a former partner and I would hang sheets up (usually from the back doors door, sheet hanging inside) and watch movies on a projector. Our favorite sup would come hang out in the back for movie night too. Good times.

Half the reason I like to go to the gym, ruck, or whatever is simply so I can eat more. The missus is one hell of a cook, so I gotta make sure I dont round out on that cooking.

I work out and have to make my own food still... must be nice to have some help cooking.

At least we don’t have food at home and order postmates or door dash like some people...

I may also be guilty of this on some occasions

It really is. When it comes to cooking, I'm usually the help. She likes to take care of that end of things unless it's one of the things I cook particularly well that she likes.

Nope. 1/4 steer, venison, fish, chicken, all kinds of veg. I stayed well stocked.

I’ve been mixing it up more in the kitchen with my wife lately and not just sticking to the grill.

I have to say, I’m enjoying it. I’m also a little stoked about the kitchenware I got her for Mother’s Day arriving in the mail.

Every few years we seem to hit new marriage milestones. They always happen in hindsight. It’s been pretty great.

Homemade meatballs man. We do this often. Mediterranean and swedish meatballs are our favorite and they absolutely. ****ing. Delicious.

We've also nailed down key lime pie and chocolate chip cookies.

Do you grind up your own meat?

Nah. The beef is from my buddy's cattle farm and lamb/pork I just get from kroger or one of the local yuppy grocery stores.

I do plan on getting stuff to do it this year though.

Last call of the day was a stroke. Figure out that he was awake for the onset and well within the window. Got a nice 18 in place. Thought this was gonna be the kinda stroke we dream of where it goes CT --> tPA --> gold star. Nope. Intraventricular bleed.

Best thing you can buy is a stand mixer. Kitchen Aid... cry once buy once.

That's actually the plan. We cook pretty much every meal and only eat out on occasion, even pre-corona. But so much of what we cook would benefit from having a kitchen aid or the attachments. Just saving up a bit more since we are making a weekend get away this month on top of some other recent/upcoming expenses.

A stand mixer is on my “want” list, but I don’t cook enough meals where it would be useful. I foresee myself using it more with the attachments if/when I get one.

My next culinary purchase is going to be either a Wüsthof or Zwilling knife set.

Did he get the tPA? About 7% of people who get tPA for an embolic CVA will end up having a head bleed. IMO tPA and Airway Management are two of the riskiest things from a medical/legal perspective in Emergency Medicine.

I started not too long ago with the Dalstrong knifes. Decided against the set since there are many I would never use.

Taking the gurney out to the truck.to go in service. We're about to go off the curb with it (we have to. There's no ramp). I tell my partner to hold up. There's a weird feeling in my leg. It kinda itches. Then it's hurting. Then it's burning and hurting more. I pull up my pant leg as two other friends are looking at me, coming over to see what's going on.

Nothing. It feels like I got bit by a couple fire ants.

I put my pant leg down. Something isn't right.

It's hurting more. I check again.

Then we all see a red wasp crawl out of the top of my sock. They freak and run away or back off. I'm just staring at it hoping I'm not allergic. Our VST killed it.

I've been stung at least 3 times on my leg.

It's hurting a little, not as much as I thought it would. Supervisor gives me some cortisone.

My leg sometimes feels okay and sometimes it hurts like it was just stung. Is this normal? I dunno if I'm just being paranoid but I felt a weird pain in my chest for a second.

I'm not anaphylactic, but, sometimes the pain comes and goes.
