Hey everyone (Is there an everyone? Will anyone actually read this? I'm cautiously optimistic...),
I saw a man walking a ferret today. Seriously. A large man too. And the ferret had this little blue harness and thin blue lead and boundless curiosity. The plundering/lumbering boots barely balanced the big/big man, and the little ferret was dancing with death it seemed with each of the man's terrible paces.
I think I heard him say the ferret's name was Monty.
I've started eating sugar-free dark chocolate. I know it sounds lame-o but it's surprisingly satisfying. You can get it with Acai (pronounced Ah-sah-ee) berries.
People are so hooked on this idea of super-fruits. Acai berries are a super-fruit.
Even cranberry juice, which has been happily selling itself for years as a refreshing beverage and natural diuretic, is now adopting this phrase "super fruit" into it's marketing.
In Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Street Fighter, and various awesome Japanese children's entertainment vehicles, "super" was like the first level of upgrade, then there was "mega", then there was "ultra", and so on.
I can't wait until we have ultra-fruit. I'm fairly sure that will enable the powers of flight and teleportation.
I have a secret hidden in my apartment. In a wooden chest.
I think it's healthy to have secrets. So long as they're not hurting anyone.
And I'm not hurting anyone.
I'm seriously a nurse. A reader of this blog wrote and asked if I'm seriously a nurse. The answer is yes. I work mostly with the elderly and extremely infirm. It makes for a very quiet workplace. Not much conversation. Unless you can speak with the rhythmic pings and beeps that echo through the rooms. I can't. Yet...
I actually really like being a nurse. When I'm caring for someone, I know I'm giving them a direct line of help, which is selfless on my part, and it's something that they need. I'd hate it if I thought I was helping but then I found out that the person just thought I was irritating. But changing drips is unequivocally helpful, and desirable. So I'm doing good. I really like my work.
And to finish today's post, a few nice words. Each nice word has multiple definitions that form an amusing relationship within the nice word:
Career
Ravel
Quodlibet
Well (see physics textbooks for this one)
Thanks for reading.
