Boyfriend and friends threw me a surprise party 
.
Had some pizza and snacks and pinata.
Then we had an icing and silly string fight.
Man I'm so stick with icing. All over my face and hair and arms.
Good times.

Yesterday started off bad enough when an attack of insomnia left me awake until past 0200 before finally falling asleep night before shift, and then shuft didn't go so great either with the Captain literally yelling at the whole crew (and he's not a yeller, typically relaxed kinda guy too) before lunch (especially when he singled me out for some BS so I was getting chewed out in front of the crew too)
That was not a fun shift, at all...

If you're gonna get chewed out it should be behind closed doors. Imo

Depends on the reason. Sometimes, albeit very rarely, it is more beneficial to have others see it.

Anyone seeing an uptick in atypical pneumonias? Have seen quite a few very sick Legionella pneumonia and such covid negative patients lately. Suspected to be due to cloth masks

Not yet in my neck of the woods... we've been seeing mostly either COVID presentations or typical pneumonias. Good to know you're starting to see these so I'll be on the lookout for this.
No, but I've had an uptick in being way too ****ing close to people getting shot or shot at. Twice this week I've been 50 or so yards away. I've lost count of how many GSW's I've ran this summer, but its been violent as hell.
I do think it opens some doors for us to bring some needed updates to our trauma care though, so I guess there is that.

For the first time as an adult I'm receiving Foodshare benefits... I should write a note to the government and thank them for the delicious banana I had earlier.

There could be two hurricanes in the gulf soon. Work sent an email about being able to be away from home for 72 hours at least.
I'm training they told us during hurricane season, if we flood, don't get into a boat unless you have a life jacket.
I can't swim
I've never been in a hurricane before.
We'll see how this goes.
Not sure how my snake will do without power if things get bad.
Any tips on preparedness?

Non perishable food, water and water purification, batteries or solar charger for your phone, toiletries. Problem is if you don't have it stock piled by now, you're not going to have much of a selection or quantity to choose from. Keep your gas tank above 3/4.

Yeah. I was too far north to be affected then.
For water purification do you use tablets or filtration?
Yeah I guess I hadn't really been thinking of hurricanes... such a weird thing to worry about in my mind. Might as well be stockpiling for a snowstorm, as it previously felt like.
I stockpiled dry goods. Probably should get some water and stuff. The stations all have 72 hours worth of rations and water. So there's that. (If on duty and stuck at a station that is)

More than your average year, as legionella cases are most common in late summer?

Batteries can come in handy if you lose power. AAA, AA, C, D, whatever your stuff needs.

Both.
And what did you think those hurricane evacuation and contraflow signs on all the highways were for? Rofl
