RANDOM!

Trail Mix as we know it today was invented in San Francisco in 1968.  Trail Mix.  SF.  Prime Hippie Era.  Really, I'm shocked.  Truly, I should not be so into Unwrapped on the Food Network.

THIS is my new favorite thing in the whole world.  Partly because I love Mary Lucia herself and I want to be just like her when I grow up, and partly because she visits the farm, and mostly because she loves cats and I named mine after her.  Geeking.  Out.

There is something just so wonderful about sitting on a computer at a coffeeshop.  Something that used to happen a lot for me in college but just doesn't happen anymore.  Mostly because I feel bad about leaving my cat home alone so often already...but then I rationalized with myself today that cats really don't give a shit either way.  Thus here I am.  Such a glorious day to be out and about.  

In other news, my two favorite french words are un cadeau and un velo.  I just love the way they roll of one's tongue.  

In still other news, I went to the doctor for a yearly physical and lady things.  So much fun.  I am a fan of my new doc, nice and younger aka lacking the title "Powertrip, M.D.".  And she lives in the mac-groveland neighborhood which automatically makes her pretty neato.  

In still more news, I have decided to brush up on my knowledge of things medical.  I'm going to load some of my nursing books back on to my computer, most importantly my pharmacology book since that is the class in which I paid the least attention.  Also, I was interested in getting my CCRN certification but apparently I need thousands of hours of bedside nursing in order to even apply for that.  I'll just keep working then.  

I DEFINE MEDIOCRITY*......

*My new awesome MacBook has a dictionary.  I looked up the word mediocrity just to make sure that I was spelling it right and I stumbled upon "Mediocrity Principle".  Made for a good 7 minutes or so of decent reading and slightly more decent ruminating about.

My NPR Name

is Klara Positano....go here if nerdiness ensues...

i really have to stop worrying so much

Despite the fact that my mental state has greatly improved since school ended, it's only too often that I feel like everything is going wrong when there really isn't anything wrong......it's really fucking annoying.  Furthermore, it's really stupid stuff.  Well not stupid, well, yeah.  Stupid stuff.  It's exhausting.  Guh.
