It's probably 11 days just for the first period, because the season started mid-week. It'll likely be a week going forward after the first period ends on Sunday.

Why do some comedians think it's funny to joke about emotional and physical abuse?
Dude talking about arguing with his wife and they always tried to go for a win. She would win if she shed a tear. He would win by treating her like a heckler. Wife says "I'd rather you hit me than say all these mean and cruel things to me." Punchline is "She lied! I love that joke". I'm now irrationally angry at a youtube video and all the people that thought that joke was funny. |

Cats are who they are. Only one of mine ever liked high places. And one was the picture of dainty, self-contained perfection--except she always pushed over glasses of water if they were left on a table. Very deliberately. I think she found water curious visually. and every time she did it, she seemed surprised that it "disappeared." Always an adventure! |

Oh, that makes sense, thanks. Trying to learn enough now so that, if there's a normal season next year, maybe I could try being in a regular league (vs. a free one). |

I also don't get the joke, NP.
I will say though that some people cope with their issues by making jokes about them. I'm not sure about the mechanism behind it, I don't do that myself, but I know people who do this. Maybe they think if people laugh about it, it isn't so bad? And the people who laugh might do so since they are watching a show and aren't thinking too much, especially about sad or difficult things. |

I'm taking my board exams at the end of the month and promised myself I'd start studying today after a month of pure vacation. My brain is protesting so hard! I think it's because the thought of going back to work as an attending makes me anxious, and studying necessarily involves thinking about medicine and the decisions I'll have to make.
Urgh. |

I found a nest of baby bunnies in my garden, which happens almost every year, but this year I think one of them is dead in there. Lots of flies buzzing around and when I look, two of the bunnies try to hide but there's an injured looking haunch or something that doesn't move. I'm not sure what, if anything, to do. I don't want a dead rabbit rotting in my garden, but I don't want to reach in there and scare the live ones. Hopefully the mom will come take care of it?

If she takes care of it, it might involve eating it. If it died of disease, the two live ones might be infected.
Call animal control? If ESPN has a news/advice section, like CBS and Fantrax do, I’d read through it regularly, even if they’re not talking about your players. You’ll pick up a lot of tips and names and information that way. |

So h bought a treadmill cuz he wants to start walking (where he can watch TV while he walks) so anyway we somehow managed to get the thing in the house yesterday, and today opened up the box and it took us several hours but it has now been assembled!! Yeesh. I broke it in and walked a mere 1/2 mile and now I am tired. I need to work back up to 2 miles a day....

So a colleague just texted me. A faculty member in the sciences—don’t know him, but heard the name often—died of COVID last week. He had been sick for months, since April. And why did he get sick? It may have been because science profs with lab courses were required to continue teaching on campus a few weeks after the rest of us were allowed to work remotely; he tested positive along with two students in his class.
I think the faculty may be getting out their (metaphorical) torches and pitchforks for the administration. |

Okay yeah now I'm panicking about studying/being an attending and also sad about the fact that J just moved a 90 minute drive away until COVID is over (he made the decision not to renew his lease in the town where I live right before we met due to a work related thing) and regretting the fact that I didn't do a better job appreciating my month off.
I am panicked and sad and regretful. |

I'm having uncontrollable twitching in my jaw muscle on the left side of my face. It's happened a couple of times before but it went away after a day so I didn't think anything of it. This is the second day in a row, and I'm taking muscle relaxants for a bum hip, so now I'm really worried. I'm going to call the psychiatrist on Monday even if it goes away tomorrow. I don't want it to become permanent.
I don't want to have to go off my antipsychotic med because my anxiety gets out of control and becomes pretty bad agitation. I tried going from 10 mg to 5 mg last summer and couldn't handle it so I don't know how I'll handle stopping it altogether. __________________ "I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers which can't be questioned." --Richard Feynman |

Aw that does suck. I've been through it with litters of feral kittens, and it never gets easier. And most of the time, I never could figure out what was wrong. My vet seemed to think that most times it was a genetic problem, so even if they'd lived, they'd likely be sickly and unable to survive as ferals. |

Oof, yeah. My brain is *really* not wanting to study. In med school I did 8-10 hours/day on weekends... not sure why I can't even one good hour at a time now. I guess it's like anything else where your body/brain can get out of practice and you have to ease your way back in. (Apparently, studying is the *opposite* of riding a bike...)
Good news is that I took my roommate practice-driving yesterday around my apt at 7am (so there wouldn't be so many cars) and she actually did really well! |
