My decluttered kitchen. Couch 184: Welcome to Zanzibar!

Lemoncake · Dec 21, 2018 at 08:28 PM

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

It's currently 2.26am where I am, but I spent the last 12 hours on the surgical floor. All of which was voluntary as our surgery class finished at 1.15pm but me and another guy asked if we could stay on as we had checked that our vascular surgeon was on call. I love him more than before. 1- because he said "mental illness is just like any other illness". He was showing us photographs on his phone

Possible trigger:

of a lady with an abnormal aorta and as he was sliding thorough we also saw some deliberate self harm cuts on an arm.2 He let us scrub in to watch his post kidney transplant who had developed complications following cancer in the bladder. He started surgery at 6.30 and we're done at 9.00pm as a urologist had to be called in from our second teaching hospital as he wasn't sure what to do. 3. He let us sit with the other surgeons in their staff room and offered us Christmas cookies. After that we got shifted to the surgical walk in clinic and as it was a friday night we had three drunk people who had fallen and cut themselves.I got to suture my very first person, who really didn't like me. xDD

I'm tired now and will pay for it in the morning, but I honestly had so much fun. I teased the guy I was with but I feel like he's growing on me.

If you like Robb Stark, check out the Netflix show Bodyguard.

Robb Stark in a suit and with an odd accent...

Yes Ma'am. I might add this to my watch list.

Ew ew ew ew ew

It doesn't sound silly, it's the best option for you.

I don't need anything else for Christmas.

Your sister sounds lovely!

You need to watch flubber or Mrs Doubtfire!

I'm a complete Robin fan girl, I think it's just because I grew up watching him. The first movie I watched was wishes or something like that.

Ummm Una there's a reason why I'm your official mini me. I think it's too much to be a coincidence now.

(My theory is that you are me of the future sent back through time, to make me go to sessions).

Lemoncake · Dec 21, 2018 at 09:04 PM

OMG I just remembered that one of the nurses in the clinic was super nice, she offered to make me coffee. They had a real coffee machine and it tasted soooooooo good I'm not sure I can go back to instant now.

Now that my kitchen is so organized it makes me want to bake. I am googling for a recipe for gingerbread that will be similar to what my brother sent me from Germany. Man that was some good stuff.

I am sewing Christmas blankets and they're big, so I vacuumed because I need to lay them out on the floor. The dog must've come in afterward. He's like Pigpen in Charlie Brown, only with dog hair. Since he hit about 8 years old, he just walks around poof!-ing dog hair everywhere constantly. I could probably weave the dog hair into yarn and make a whole new dog by now. So I am trying to pick dog hair out of the blanket fabric, and have to vacuum again.

I'll be sewing much of the weekend to get the boys' blankets and such finished, and need something to occupy my brain.

Art, cookie-style gingerbread, or the thicker cake-style?

I loooooove gingerbread. The boys are all going to bake gingerbread house pieces tonight so that we can decorate houses on Sunday.

Cute kitchen!

(And clean!)

I love Robin Williams -- not everything he did -- but I really liked him as a person and as a talented, well-trained entertainer and actor.

well the gingerbread my brother sent was kind of a cake-cookie kind of a thing. Very different from gingerbread cookies that are shaped like a man that I've bought here in the US. the ones from germany were round and very cake-like. soooo good.
